Poor translation, but worth a read. Kymco overtaken by Sym in their home market?

Thanks for posting, Neil. It's always interesting to read about Kymco sales..and I wasn't aware they had so many production facilities in other countries.

See here what I liked so much about those SYM models.

They were nearly all made in Taiwan!!!

I looked hard at the SYM range in 2012 & '13.
But my local SYM dealer was a HVAC shop in the boonies - no mechanic, secretary had quit. They had what looked like every single new SYM model for your inspection......over there in a locked garden shed. The shed was new, I'll give them that.
I really wanted to buy one --- maybe even the Wolf.....but dang!, I just might need a touch of dealer support, someday!

They might just pull that "showroom" onto a flatbed and leave Ohio.
I went with Kymco from big local dealer.

I still like a lot about those early SYM models.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
