Review | Scootersales |
Featured in the elegant and yet sporty style, HD2 is a complete upgraded version from its predecessor. The new bodyline design, dual headlights and taillight complete the evolution of HD. The details are equally remarkable- the SYM logo on the radiator and Y-shaped decoration add its uniqueness of the front design. The user-friendly improvement on HD2 includes the lowered seat height of 790 mm and engine cut-off switch. In addition, there is the combined braking system (CBS), it brings the scooter to a rapid stop to fulfil the safety wise. The HD2 is an evolution of the HD 200 from SYM, and whilst not a great deal has changed over the years, this scooter still represents some of the best value for money on today's market. The big wheeled platform combined with a punchy, liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine makes the HD a bit of a commuters dream. The flat floor comes in handy when carrying additional loads via the bag hook. The rear rack is box ready and there’s enough room under the seat for a half faced helmet or some spare wet weather gear. The underseat storage area opens via the ignition and there’s also two external helmet hooks if required. The glove box is fairly small and in reality just allows access to the coolant reservoir. When riding the HD2, the first thing you notice is just how sorted and refined this model is. It’s not big or bulky, it’s light and easy to ride, very easy to manoeuvre. The HD turns into corners well and balances all this with fairly good stability at high speed. When filtering, you immediately realise how thin the proportions are. Like I said, the HD2 is very well sorted. We had the HD2 for an extended trial over a two month period. It performed faultlessly, performing duties from daily shop runs, to extended days out two-up. The engine in my opinion, can be placed in the same class as Piaggio’s Quasar, it’s an absolute cracker that has a real sense of reliability and refinement about it. The more k’s we placed on it, the better it felt. Extracts from a review by Allen Drysdale. |
