Retro classic 150cc Sym from Taiwan

How did we not discuss these before? Maybe because I only heard about them today. Sym Wolf

$2999 suggested retail.

Discuss.

I like 'em. Motorcycle Classics magazine tested one a couple months ago: http://www.motorcycleclassics.com/classic-japanese-motorcycles/sym-wolf-classic-150-zmbz13jazbea.aspx#axzz2dJFRThm7

I wouldn't pay 3k for that.

And yet they can get people to pay $25K for this ugly thing:

Apparently there's a sucker in every group.

Mopeds are tons of fun until your friends see you on one...

that said, green wins!

If you aren't getting Motorcycle Classics you should be---- great bike mag!

and I kinda like the looks of that "$25K" Harley......but to each his own.

The fairing looks like it's about to fall off and the rear bags and fender look like a saggy diaper.

To each their own I guess.

I've thought about the Sym bikes before, might be a good platform to build up a cool little cafe bike from. They're Chonda engines so Honda parts might make a decent upgrade for whatever broke.

If I had the money to waste on the Harley, I'd have a couple of these:

Are these available in the auto-form? Wife wants a bike but doesnt want to shift it.

I really like the look, but I don't think that 150cc is going to cut it for me. Know if they make a knock off a honda. 350cc or 450cc twin & stuck it in there they would have my attention!

I think the 250 version is available from Cleveland Cyclewerks.

I have no friends so that doesn't bother me, and I'm married so impressing females are not a concern either. And green always wins

I like it, but I think at the price, I'd go for a Honda Grom, or save up some more money for a Suzuki TU250, so I could go on the highway.

Not that I'd turn one down if it was given to me

How is a 125cc/4-speed Grom (which is also made in Taiwan, BTW) any more suitable to the highway than this? At least this doesn't have 10" tires!

In reply to EvanR:

I was meaning only the TU250 for the highway.

My boss is pushing me to buy a Grom...I am trying to resist.

Just tell him you need a matching raise

If I was doing that I would try to go for a Moto Guzzi V7.

Am I missing something? I don't see any pedals on that bike.
