Nice looking SYM on eBay
« on: December 14, 2016, 02:20:17 AM »
Standing at $850 with less than 24 hrs to go.
Have heard good things about these scooters.

Per auction pix....it's a SYM. A scoot with a great reputation.
Price is taking off.......

I love the Sym scooters but the lack of easy parts availability scare me off.

I almost bought a SYM Fiddle II but our local dealer went out of business, and then the US distributor had the fire that put them out too. As it turned out the Kymco Like was a better choice anyway. Glad to see that Alliance has kept them in this market though.

SYM RV200 is the HD200's twin in cruiser plastics. They share the same engine, etc. Good scooter, but I sure wouldn't trust a dealer who doesn't know the difference between a Kymco and a SYM! Kind of like having a car dealer advertise a "Chevy F-150" - very close to vehicular blasphemy.  :P

Have seen this before on ebay - seller expanding the selling range by doubling the search categories. "SYM & KYMCO".
Both good scoots. ..maybe even give the edge to SYM  on those less than 300cc's.
Would not worry tooo much about this dealer for support. Scoot is no longer under warranty....and most of us service our own rides. Parts availability  online for any SYM would be my only concern.
There was a California  dealer on the SYM forum site who could get the parts .....is he still available?
If I  was serious about a SYM ..... I'd  give him all call to check on parts availability for that model.
SYM sells good sruff.
