THE SYM 250RV CAME AS A TOTAL SURPRISE TO ME IN MANY WAYS. I HAVE OWNED/RIDDEN FOR 45 YEARS--EVERYTHING FROM HONDA CUBS TO HARLEY SPORTSTERS. EACH BIKE HAD A CHARACTERISTIC THAT I SOUGHT OUT AT THE TIME I BOUGHT AND RODE THAT PARTICULAR BIKE.
THE SYMS RV 250 WAS NO DIFFERENT, I NEEDED A BIKE I COULD RIDE AROUND HOUSTON, COMFORTABLY, SAFELY, AND ECONOMICAL. I WAS BLOWN AWAY HOW THIS LITTLE BIKE NOT ONLY FILLED THE BILL IN ALL THESE ASPECTS BUT EXCEEDED THEM...IT HAS FOOLED ME INTO THINKING IT IS A MUCH BIGGER BIKE, AND REMINDS ME OF AN EARLY GOLDWING I RODE BACK IN THE '80'S. GREAT POWER FOR A 250, SO 5 STARS ON ENGINE, SUSPENSION 4 STARS, HANDLING, 4.5 TRANSMISSION--JUST GETTING USE TO THESE TYPES SO GIVING IT A 4.5 TOO, ERGONOMICS A SOLID 5 VALUE--I GOT IT 1K UNDER RETAIL SO EXCELELNT VALUE, BRAKES 5 STAR--IF THEY WERE ANY BETTER WELL I CANT IMAGINE ANY IMPROVEMENT HERE, COMPONENTS 4.5, RELIABILITY SO FAR...4.5 ONLY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN HARD TO START OF A MORNING.COMFORT WAS FAR BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS AS WELL SO A SOLID 5 STAR THERE TOO. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE FIRST TIMER OR EXPERIENCED RIDER. ALWAYS WEAR A FULL FACE HELMET AND PROTECTIVE GEAR...THESE HAVE SAVED MY LIFE IN THE PAST, AND WILL YOURS, IF YOU WEAR THEM. PEACE OUT

This scooter, (mine is a 2008), was a surprise to me. I've ridden many 250s years ago and didn't expect the power and easy 65-70 mph crusing this machine is capable of. Over the last 65 years, I've ridden everything from 50cc bycycles to Vincent Black Lightnings and the SYM RV 250, for me, ranks right up with the best of them.
