It is entirely likely that you have never heard of SYM despite the fact that they have been one of the largest vehicle builders in Taiwan for nearly 50 years. You are forgiven for not knowing who they are since they often build products for other companies such as Honda, Bombardier and Hyundai. Their own name brand scooters arrived on US soil two years ago and are gaining popularity. If you haven't seen one yet, you likely will soon.
Got me one yesterday, 2008, 2500 miles, red, in very good condition, $2000.00. Runs and looks fantastic, everything works, been well maintained...what's not to like?! Very happy.
I bought one new a few years ago after seeing this review. it is amazing in every way. no problems ... just smiles and a comfortable ride. one and only flaw is the 2 bolts that hold the driver seat back in place chipped my helmet when stored under the seat. would highly recommend one.
Hi please do you have electronic control unit for sym rv 250 ? Or do you know where I can buy some
@@Noblemobilephonerepairs Hi Justice. I don’t have any parts. It was a great scooter for me and I never had any issues. Upgraded to a Suzuki Burgman 400 in 2018.
i got this bike. LOVE IT TO PIECES. highly recommended. didn't get a chance to try the minigun yet though.
I bought one in 2008. It has fuel injection and a really great engine. I still have the scooter and I have had 2 failures. Replacement ECU and the speedometer display. Other than that a great scooter. Would I buy another SYM ? Definitely.
Very comfortable driving position, economic yet fast enough! Powerful enough for 2 ppl & lots of room for stuff to take with you or do groceries with. It's very multifunctional and all-round...
im about to buy this scooter today!! im so freakin excited
How was the experience?
@dochco
Not Chinese.. SYM is made in Taiwan. Very high quality.. as good as any Japanese model. The Chinese stuff is getting better too though... but still varying quality
Pretty friggin' cool. Never thought I'd say that about a scooter...
@dochco
I am pretty sure SYM is made in Taiwan. Much higher quality than Chinese...although the Chinese are getting better too.
@Hooverdarnit
That's been my experience too. My Chinese dual sport has been very reliable with only a few minor problems. But your Digg on the assembly and that seems to vary greatly depending on what plant made it. The name on the bike is usually just the importer.
I have one also and I LOVE it! Wish there were more dealers around though. I'd like to have a new 400i! Maybe it'll make it's way to the USA one of these days!
thanks for the tip alexsteen....been riding it everywhere now...has about 634 km on it already..next oil change at 1k....its a fabulous ride is what i can say...so excited everytime i know im gonna ride it....but no good choice of helmets though...asked me sis to buy one from the states..they have very good ones there..plus my xl headsize..lol!!!...long live sym...woooo hoooooo....
I'd like to see SYM secure a dealer in the Shreveport, La. area; many local Airmen would appreciate such an affordable, quality bike.
Do you know how many kilometers the CVT belt lasts between replacements?
I'd say the quality would be about the same as a yammy/honda/suzuki, but parts would be hard to get in the US in a pinch. With a yammy/honda/suzuki you can get parts pretty much anywhere.
@morgand25
Are you talking about the same bike?
I just bought one in Malaysia for 9000RM, that's about 3000$. Mine is a 200 though, not a 250.
@kens97sto171 Most of the scooters made in china are actually Japanese designed with the Chinese companies having a license to build them. The biggest problem with Chinese scooters is in the asembly. It's a good idea to make sure eveything is tight and snug like gas lines and electical connections.
The Chinese scooters aren't top of the line, but I bought a brand new Chinese 150 cc scooter and got it shipped to my door for only $799. I have over 3,000 miles on it and it still runs great.
anyone knows whether the winshield can be replaced to a bigger one like the suzuki burgman
please let me know :)
hi all,
i tested the sym scooter but its called gts200 here...????...
all n all its very powerful,...the rev is good and yes quite smooth on the road for something that weighs heavy..looks good too and made payment...by this afternoon or tmorow morning will have it out and taking it to its new home..woooo hoooo..
any tips or tricks please do share as i am a first time bike owner...cant wait to take it out and just keep on riding.. :)
whats the quality compared with?
can anybody tell why if u squeeze the right brake with ignition it will start but not with the left???i thought it was suppose to work both ways..???
im a bit lost now... :\
Hi please do you have electronic control unit for sym rv 250 ? Or do you know where I can buy some
kevinvms,..
do you know where i can order one the windshields you saw???
@dochco Taiwanese,not chinese, thank you.
Taiwanese is not Chinese or Vietnamese what you said.
Taiwan had self-own motors industries already several ten years.
Nice outro .. nice looking scoot
Are you talking about Power Sports World in Brundidge, AL? Those are really nice!
Recorded with calculator?
Yes I do. - Lots of repairs- expensive to maintain. Runs fine, when the engine is not broken down, etc. Good luck.
En España han resultado ser de muy buena calidad..
OMG this is sick!!!
@dochco
Not Chinese....Taiwanese.....
it's the first scooter that doesn't sound like mower isn't it? ;o
pretty cool but the Vietnamese and Chinese reverse-engineering copies are far more affordable !!!
RV for 2016 is now $3,699 but it's 171cc's.
that was freaking funny about the minigun. LMAO
THis should be called PROMO an not a REVIEW
as for me.. i'm change it every 15k km since i'm travel far a lot...
I WANT THE GOD DAMN MINIGUN
Never ever be a Honda..there is no other.
Nice
i still use use first belt and i pass 20 000 km...maybe i will cheange next season : ))
ohhhhh i want one sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad

Just goofin' off.
can you marry bikes?
ok...found out the problem when i went to the shop i bought it from..woo hoo..aaahhh
I see, you don´t believe me. Thatt´s all right for me.I have den my duty: To warn about it. Then it is all up to you to listen.I live in Denmark- Europe- And next summer i´ll go buy a scooter of an other brand.- Nobody wants to buy my SYM 250 gts - It is called different names all over the world, but it is the same scooter. I have the repair bills- - I can mail it to you, if you are reallly interested and not paied by the company.
It´s okay if have an other oppinion than me.- Would you like to pay the garage bills- go ahead. I can mail the cpoies of the bills if you don´t believe me.
It is a fine scooter to drive- the service is horrible-to lang waiting for spareparts. And the brakes are worn down in less than 1000km.The Exhaustion is rusted away in 18 months. Go ahead bying it,,,,Disappointed owner
The brakes are worn out in less than 1000km ??? What do you do ? Ride round with them on all the time lol .I've got one and it never goes wrong , parts are not hard to sort and the scooter has now done 26000 km and I've just had to change the rear brake pads but the front are still ok .
