An thoughts on SYM Joymax 300i ABS and GTS 300i ABS?
« on: February 19, 2015, 12:13:09 PM »
SYM is made in Taiwan.  The quality looks outstanding.  They are a little bit heaver, around 400 pounds.  Top speed is around 95 MPH.  The only problem is I may not be able to find one in Michigan.  If you have any thoughts on these scooters, pro or con, please share them with me.  Thank you for your help.  Ride safe my friends.

SYM makes great bikes, but sketchy parts support. Lance is the importer, and they seem to be doing an ok job, but you can't go online and buy parts for SYM.
2002 Kymco B&W 300; MRP 78MM "300CC", Naraku cam, Yoshimura rS3 exhaust, 17g Sliders, Yellow torque spring drilled airbox, stock carb #115 main #40 pj.

2001 "Yamaha" Zuma AKA MBK Booster; MHR OverRange, Dellorto 19mm BHBG, Polini "big" intake, RS-3 Rear shock, Stock cylinder.

SYM is imported by Alliance Powersports.

http://www.alliancepowersports.com

These scoots are top notch rock soild rides. The RV200 is bulletproof will run 75 mph/GPS and all day at 65. Tons of storage. I also have a 2010 Lance Cali Classic 125 that's just a workhorse. I love the SYMs as much as my Kymcos.

All that said theses are great scoots but you must have dealer support. As stated almost all parts will need to be ordered from the dealer. I've never needed anything other than a turn signal and had it in 6 days. Odds are you won't need parts. Theses things just don't break down often.

If you have a good dealer I'd go for it.

The Roughhouse is a Genuine product and not available as a 125.
