I almost went with one of these rather than the 300. The RV 200 is actually a 171, close to a 150. Cookees described all SYMs to me as "bulletproff". So far he has been spot on. He said they leave the sales floor and simply do not come back. 

 

Flawless finish...metal and plastic. Two year warranty....a real warranty. Ceramic cylinder, four valves, 72 MPH top speed, and their speedos are accurate. I can tell you right now, they say 81 for the Citycom, it will go past that....yep. They are pricey, but if you want a bike you do not have to think about getting on it and commuting round trip 84 miles to work..and have a blast blowing everybody's doors off..get a SYM. Rich

I bought my RV200 last fall just before the end of the riding season here in Idaho. I now have close to 2000 miles on it and It is the smoothest riding scotter I've ever rode. The speedometer is almost deadon along with the odometer. I've topped it out at 76mph verifying it with a gps. I'm getting right at 72.4 mpg consistently with every tank. It's heavier than the old 150 Tank I used to have so the wind does not seem to effect it much. Even the hardcore motorcycle riders I work with like it ("even though it's a scooter").

The Kymco Like 200

is a pretty scooter in the Retro mold and reasonably priced.

Let me give you a stinging first hand account of the heralded vespa brand,,,,it's all hype trust me on this,,,, the et4 is my 54th machine and easily in the top 3 of junk,,, i'll get the fueling issues put to bed this week and if i have another person walk up to me and say "sell it to me" it's gone,,,had a few offers and i turned them down like a dumb mother fuker,,,THAT won't happen again either,,,,like i said before if i run into an older p series or to be honest i'd really rather have a stella,4 speed i'll grab it but i'm not pineing for one,,,they have just as many if not more and certainly more expensive repairs,,,it's like harley,,,it's all marketing,,,,It's either a stella or a sym for me next time

it's like harley,,,it's all marketing

You're kidding right? Notice any particular machines here?  Be sure to go through all 15.

JR? Didn't they kill him off a few season ago?

[Bashan]

We tried, but he was hissing, snarling, and biting. Alley couldn't hold him, he chewed through the ropes, and escaped. He made his way to the darkest nether region of Scooter Doc where he lurks about writing evil code. He wrote the infamous "nag" code solely to harass JCT 842. He wrote the "no video in signature code" to thwart KZ's plot to have porno in his signature. He made the "friends" button to lure loyal Scooter Doc members over to the Professor and none of them have returned. The tales of what happened over there are unspeakable, and yet somebody told them anyway....go figure. Yeah, we tried buddy boy but you can't kill what isn't really alive in the first place.

I won't give you crap Matt, you bought cheap. Look at what these guys are facing.

Thanks, I pretty much stole this one too. I'm just getting it up to snuff today for a weekend shakedown. I hope I don't have all of the issues that Cy has with his, but I guess we'll see.

Nothing better for a disabled vet, with a full clip that needs emptying.
You buy that, and I'll let ya use any/all of my guns to make it yours.

Nag is such a dreary word, "pester" the code is pester! I can change the "Friends" to Recruiting if that sounds better!

Won't need anything you got. I think my Ruger LCP at 100 yards should do just fine.

Thanks guys for reposting that picture. It makes me tingle all over seeing those white wall tires and I bet I would look like Elvis Presely riding that. Or is that Pee Wee Herman? Oh well! What ever I would make it look really hot.

Kate Hepburn? Pink retro....I'm just sayin.....
