So, exactly what is a SYM Scooter? The name of the company is SanYang Motors (Hence SYM). The company was once part of Honda of Taiwan before splitting three
ways, one became known as Kwang Yang Motor Co. aka KYMCO, the other SanYang Motor Co. aka SYM. Since then SYM and Kymco have been fighting for the Taiwan and Asian market. Each company produces well more than
600,000 units per year. Even though
most SYM dealers are currently located in European and Asian markets, SYM is making its mark in North America. In 2006, SYM
was named as one of the top Taiwanese Global Brands for “its rapid Global Expansion and excellent sales performance
both in Germany and France in 2006”. SYM's exclusive use of the Ceramic
Coated Cylinder process, which applies special compound-electroplating process to disperse SiC ceramic particles uniformly
distributing on the cylinder wall. SYM is the first company to make mass produced motorcycle engines by using their SiC ceramic
coating technique. This results in excellent longevity and much better fuel economy. SYM scooters routinely get 10~15% Better
fuel mileage than their competitors. So, enough about the technical stuff... Let's get into the scooters!
 The Fiddle II 125 -
With similar dimensions as the Vespa LX 150, the SYM FIDDLE II 125 sports a telescopic front fork for a more
stable ride quality, and a substantial feel much like the more expensive Italian marque.
The SYM FIDDLE II is larger
than the new industry standard Genuine Buddy. While the Buddy feels a bit more nimble and more sportsbike like, the longer
wheelbase SYM FIDDLE II offers more of a luxury, cruiser like ride. Not that the SYM is sluggish around the corners, it's
just that the Genuine Buddy has set such a high standard in the handling department.
The generously sized saddle gives
more room for you and your passenger, or to carry more stuff.
Attractive and easy to read analog dash, it's very
nice to see the MPH in big print, a nice feature indicating SYM's commitment to the US market. There's a neat "Seat
Open" button on the handlebar to open the seat while the scooter is running, so there's no need to turn off the scooter
and use the key. Plenty of storage under the seat, and a functional rear rack comes standard. $2598
