Unbelievably economical

For those wanting a fun, fuel efficient scooter that can get you around town with classic style, the Symba can't be beat. I've got about 1500 miles on mine, and total maintenance has amounted to a little over $16 for oil changes. Gas mileage has been incredible. If I run it hard, WOT, commuting t...o work, I'll average 105 mpg. However, when taking it easy, I can easily pull over 120mpg. Obviously, this bike isn't a rocket ship, but it was never intended to be one. If the road is flat, it will do 55mph to give you an idea. If you take it for what it is, and don't take yourself too seriously, you'll have a blast.

The only negatives I have for the bike is that I do wish it had a little bit more pull for some of the steeper hills, and the stock seat could use more padding. Read Full Review

It's not a big motorcycle - just a groovy little motorbike...

The Honda Super Cub is unquestionably the most popular motorcycle in history, having been in continuous production since 1958, but it's relatively rare in the North America. Having owned and restored many classic Honda Super Cubs - from the early C100 to the '81 - '83 "Passports" (the las...t models Honda exported to the USA), I was pleased and thrilled when SYM, a world-class manufacturer based in Taiwan, decided to add their interpretation of the Cub - the "Symba" - to their USA product line. SYM has preserved the classic Super Cub look and feel while updating it in many ways - a larger engine, telescopic front fork, modern electronics, and fit/finish workmanship that outshines the original Super Cub by a wide margin. Ride and performance are, by Cub standards, fantastic. The Symba is a great bike for people who appreciate the simple elegance of the Cub design and/or who prefer a shift pedal to a CVT belt. Top speed around 50 mph. Pure pleasure for around-town and backroad rides. I recommend the bench seat as an upgrade (and there are many other accessories available). Read Full Review

From someone who actually owns one:

It is a 101cc bike. If that's not enough pep for you then so be it. For a 101cc however, it is a blast to ride. Almost everyone stops and stares, grins, waves...while parked or on the move. It carries with it the happy memories of decades of Honda Super Cubs and Passports. It is easy to ride, l...ightweight and hauls groceries or passengers like a pro. It's bigger diameter wheels make it much more fun on country roads and uneven terrain than most scooters out there...making it a dual-sport of sorts. It was expensive but $2600 puts it right in with comparable models. Read Full Review

Awesome!

I picked up a SYMBA this summer and am LOVING it. This is a fun and spirited scooter. The only problem is the hand bar for the passenger can be uncomfortable for the driver. Otherwise this is the best money I've spent. Average about 90 mpg, but it's all town, stop-n-go traffic. The red looks tot...ally sweet. I get comments to that effect all the time.

a true pleasure.

I love my Sym Symba. I am a recent college grad and I find it anything from a grandma bike as in the first review. I ride it 50 miles a day to and from work and it provides me with nothing but pleasure.



I spent a long time dealing with an old 80s Tomos, constantly having to keep up with repairs. ...With my dear SYM, i'll be in a couple times a year for an oil change.

It gets tons of positive attention at every red light and zooms me up to 65 mph.

Even with my 50 miles a day, I spend about $3.00 per week on gas. Best investment ever. Read Full Review
