Review | Motor Scooters Guide, Motorcycle Tailand |
I've been riding a Sym Joyride Evo scooter for abut 6 months (7000 kms.) and I used to have a KYMCO Grand Dink 150 before this one. When I first saw this bike I really liked the look.
I've done pretty long trips and city rides. My rating for this bike would be 6/10.
Let's start with the comfort. The sitting position is fine and there is plenty of space for legs even for a tall man but the seat is not very comfortable and it tires you especially in long distances.
Suspension system is not good at all. It neither gives you a very comfortable smooth ride nor high performance and stability when it comes to sharp turns. Handling doesn't make me feel safe. Especially passenger feels a big spine pain when the road is bumpy.
Performance of the engine is not bad for its size. Acceleration and top speed are acceptable. Between 40 km-100 km acceleration is fine. The highest speed I've achieved with this bike on a flat road was 130 km/h.
The under seat space is fine but comparing it to my Kymco it's still small. My laptop doesn't fit in the Sym which is no problem with the Kymco. It has some security systems which I regard as useless. A button under the seat that cuts electric off.
As a result a beautiful bike but not a very good one to ride. Now the 2010 YAMAHA X MAX 250i seems to be my next one. For the ones who are interested in buying SYM JOYRIDE 200i EVO my advice would be spend some more money and go for a better one.
Review by Erman.
The Sym Joyride 200i Evo, isn't cheap, but it justifies that price tag. The Sym Joyride 200i Evo is nice and narrow and well balanced at low speed ideal for traffic busting. You can see a few maxi scooters in Bangkok traffic, most are grey imported Japanese scooters and some are officially imported 500cc maxi-scooters with a half-million price tag. The Sym Joyride 200i Evo will be the first maxi-scooter under 250cc officially available in Thailand.
