I do like the cali Classic, especially the naked handle bar. The Lance, coming out of mainland China is one of the better Chinese scooters and going to the SYM motor has a lot to do with that. Several years back I bought a new Lance 150cc, with the GY6 engine, from a dealer for $500. They had three of them and were just before dismantling them to use the parts in their repair shop. They could not get them run right. I had a pretty good idea what the problem was. I went to the Honda shop and bought a high and low speed jet for a 150cc Honda GY6 carb. and put them in and the Lance ran perfect. Rode it for several years. I did call the dealer and told how to fix them. He called me back in a couple of weeks and offered me a job and I told him I was retired, not retarded. We had a laugh and he told me to stop by the and pick out any accessory for my Lance, on him, I a got a matching top box.
I don't know why scooters don't sell better in the U.S. Seems everybody wants the "bad boy" image of either a Harley or a rocket??? Guess I'm old enough now, not to need an image and glad of it. I love riding either my DT300 or my Honda Shadow.
