Answer 1

Kymco is better than the Honda and the Yamaha's put together and  still cheaper.

Answer 2

any Honda is d**n hard to beat............good luck

Answer 3

You are comparing apples to oranges. The Zuma since it's a two-stroke, will be easily upgradable should higher speeds be needed in the future. However, such upgrades for the C3 are not readily available for four-stroke 49cc engines-yet.

The good news is both can be derestricted to gain a faster top speed.

Answer 4

I would agree with a previous poster and go with a Kymco... but if you must have a honda, I would go with the C3 for 3 reasons.

1: Its liquid-cooled not forced air.  This will make your C3 last longer and hold up better in the summer heat.

2: It is fuel injected and not carbureted.

3: TONS of storage compared to other scooters.

You can also derestrict the C3 in about 15 minutes to do 42 MPH.  You may get a couple of MPH more when comparing stock to stock but big whoop when comparing the other 3 items mentioned above.

Answer 5

2009 Zuma will be quicker because it has a 2 stroke, and it will probably be unleaded gas, but on the other hand the 2009 C3 will have a better throttle response, and you wont have to mix the oil with the gas.  but to answer your question i would go with the zuma, because it looks better.
