dirtypot Posted March 5, 2019 Share So I can now give a not so comprehensive review on the SYM300 scooter... This review is taking a long time to come out. Expecting a masterpiece in automotive journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted March 5, 2019 Share My Nephew rides MX in Cape Town and he is graduating from a KX85 to a YZ125. I found him an ex-team bike here in Pretoria and I collected it last night. Couldn't resist taking it for a little blast up the road. And scared myself shitless. I don't know what happened between when I was a kid blasting my KDX200 flat out down a dirt road in the dark in 1988 and going up a tar road last night, but I got into third, turned it around and putted back to the garage and parked it. That thing is fearsome.I know what happened..... your balls shrank...... :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymann Posted March 5, 2019 Share A.G.E ...... when you were younger you were more fearless ? Which I think is why as much as I hope I am proven wrong, Rossi at 40, is not going to be able to compete with someone who is 23 and fearless..... dirtypot and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymann Posted March 5, 2019 Share I know what happened..... your balls shrank...... :ph34r: Ha-Ha - funny you mention that - I went for a whole bunch of blood tests at the beginning of the year, because it's the responsible thing over 45 blah blah blah..... And one of the things they tested was my Testosterone level. Not pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted March 5, 2019 Share This review is taking a long time to come out. Expecting a masterpiece in automotive journalism. Its very good... i am trying to think whats not good on it and I can only think of two things: 1. Seat Height - I am used to being higher up and seeing over the cars2. urgency - It gets out the hole fine but roll on urgency just isnt there. Otherwise its pretty awesome, great brakes, good go, decent lights. dirtypot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted March 5, 2019 Share popped in at my neighbours garage last night, and he has a nice collection of 3 x Harley's, a fantastic condition R80 and nicely converted R1 (seat still to be fabricated and has just about no mileage on the clock) was a quick chat that ended up being a long chat......as much as I hate saying it, those Harley's are lovely bikes!

Chris_ Posted March 5, 2019 Share Last weekend we popped into the Indian motorcycles shop in Melrose Arch. MY GOODNESS there are some beautiful machines there. My favourite was actually a second hand one for sale which the prev owner had fully customised, put a couple hundred kays on it, and decided to sell. Made me sad it didn't have a deserving owner...

R18000 gets you a lot of motorbike bits that will make me just as happy. Edited March 5, 2019 by Andymann Hairy and Chris_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the nerd Posted March 5, 2019 Share OK so had to use the Scoot to commute.. Midrand to Alberton Everything you think you know about scooters is wrong. This thing is awesome, comfort, no need to keep shifting as you dodge cars Protection, it was raining, only my helmet got wet. Brakes awesome as I mentioned before. Surprising, really surprising.
