Who here also has a commuter scooter? Please share the make what you like about it, fuel consumption, comfort etc with us.
I first started with a Yamaha BWS but have sold it because it is just to small for me. Bought a SYM Jet 14 200 (They are actually only a 170 cc)
Here is what I think about it:
Price: I paid R23 500 for mine and think they are very good value for money.
Fuel Consumption: They have OLD school motors no EFI or anything fancy, gets about 28 to 30 Km/L.
Performance: Keeps very easy up or faster with the traffic here in PE. Runs 90/100 very easily
Reliability: 18 months old, done only about 1800 Km (Do about 7Km round trip with it per day) Only went in for 2 services. Nothing else went wrong, starts very easily cold or hot.
Mods: Top box & Handel-bar Raisers.
Would I recommend it, yes I would if you are going use it only in town. Would not take it on a highway.
I am thinking to upgrade mine for a 300cc scooter (Yamaha X-Max or Sym Citycom) and would like to have feedback from other owners on them.
