2008 SYM HD 200 Scooter reviews

On a recent trip to New York City from Washington D.C., the bike turned 10,000 miles. On the 615-mile trip it averaged 75 mpg. The top speed ranged from 66-72 miles/hour. I went straight up I-95 on the way up. I stayed to the right but did my fair share of passing. On the way back I came thought PA I-78 and US-30. It was more scenic and just one 75-cent toll. Hopefully the folks at SYM will get the distribution thing for the entire United States straighten out. They have good products but haven't marketed them well at all. Show less

We actually bought this scooter for my wife, but I ride it too. I'm an old motorcyclist. I did the research on larger scooters when my wife wanted to go bigger than her Honda Metro. We checked out some Kymcos, this SYM and looked at Vespas, the Yamaha Vino 125 and a few others. We chose a 2008 SYM HD200 new, leftover model, and have never looked back. My only criticism of this scoot is that it doesn't have a kick starter as a backup. that's it! It's comfortable, very fast (for a 200cc), reliable and gets great gas mileage. This 200 will cruise at 55-65 mph. no sweat. Freeways? No problem. Uphill? No problem. It easily gets 70++ mpg. There's plenty of storage. You can still find leftover 2008's for as low as $2,200.
