2009 SYM RV 250 Scooter Review Read the full scooter review at Motorcycle.com. www.motorcycle.com 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.

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.
@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.
@dochco

@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
@dochco
I am pretty sure SYM is made in Taiwan. Much higher quality than Chinese…although the Chinese are getting better too.
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.
how is this name brand beter than a yamaha honda or suzuki?
Nice Scoot
Just goofin’ off.
can you marry bikes?
as for me.. i’m change it every 15k km since i’m travel far a lot…
wtf 3:42?
I’d like to see SYM secure a dealer in the Shreveport, La. area; many local Airmen would appreciate such an affordable, quality bike.
i still use use first belt and i pass 20 000 km…maybe i will cheange next season : ))
Do you know how many kilometers the CVT belt lasts between replacements?
Wow scooters are actually cool (at least this one).
Damn, I luv this scooter!
lol @ the mini gun
Are you talking about Power Sports World in Brundidge, AL? Those are really nice!
Power Sports World has some awesome ones.
Pretty cool
