Does your commute involve a quick stint on the freeway as well as the need to negotiate inner city streets? Navigating potholes, gutters and kerbs just part of your everyday? Big wheel scooters with at least a 150cc engine should be littering your shopping list!
But which one should you choose? If you budget is less than $3000 you can rule out a new machine, but jump in to the classifieds and you will find heaps of quality machines like this one from SYM!
This machine is the venerable SYM HD200! Made in Taiwan, equipped with a liquid cooled 171cc engine that propels this machine with vigor, it is one of the best machines on the big wheel scooter scene! Yes underseat storage is at a premium, and the dash and instrumentation is only basic, but take it for a spin and the engine’s meaty growl and secure handling will mean all is forgiven!
This particular unit has a mere 4500 kilometres under its belt and appears in good condition. It is also equipped with a top box to alleviate any storage shortfalls! Now, sit down and take a look at the price! Yep that figure is less than half the new price, in other words a steal!
So ensure you get a complete mechanical and history check and then start you summer with a piece of kit that has style, performance and presence that will make you the envy of every 125cc machine you leave in your mirrors!
