Sym GTS 250

I purchased my secondhand 2011 SYM gts 250i voyager back in early February 2017. Despite it only having a 12L fuel tank it gets very good fuel range. I started running it on 91 octane and with a combined city and highway usage and was getting around 340km-380km till the fuel light comes on but now i'm running it on 95 octane im seeing 380-420km till the fuel light comes on. It accelerates very well and will sit comfortably at 100kph and still has plenty of power to go faster. I have seen 155kph on the speedometer but the revs were into the red at 140kph so didn't want to push it more, but could tell it would do 160kph if tried. It has plenty of storage space and the instrument dial's are well laid out and easy to see. It is well balanced for a scooter that weighs 190kgs. The only downside is having to do a service every 3000kms.

Swapped a Honda for this one ,it has 45000 km but full sevice history and I have to say it's a good scoot,handles well powerfull enough to blast on the motorway and nippy on side roads.some corrosion to the chassis and back wheel but that's an easy fix.

Just ordered a bigger screen from Germany so will be fine with that fitted as the stock screen is a bit short on height.

Also swapped the tyres to Pirelli's,much better than the Bridgestones as fitted.

I bought a 2008 SYN RV 250 a month and have already replaced the mirrors and very happy with the new ones..I bought it with 36 miles on it. ...The previous owner was 6 ft tall and needless to say he was not happy so he traded it in for a MC ..I only paid 2900. for it and I am very happy....Now my problem.. I have put over 700. miles in three weeks and I am not happy with the small windshield... Where can I buy a taller windshield ?...I live in Pennsylvania..USA ..Any help and I would be grateful.

ok i've had my 250i gts for a week now and i'm loving it.....i've had a honda dylan 125 before this bike and to compare it to it would be hard because the honda is a great bike....but with the honda not building a 250 which is what i wanted i went for a sym..... i looked at the yamaha city but was to exspensive, as my buget was limited. so over all the sym is what i wanted at size and cost.....having not known about the sym before i'm happy with it so far. the power is good and the size of the bike is ok too.....

i have had korean, japanese and italian scooters in the past and this is my seventh. i would say that this Sym GTS 250 is the best in terms of handling, power, economy, and reliability. i use it everyday for work, put 10,000 kms on it without any major maintenance work. recently decided to keep the gts and sell the tmax 500 instead.

The Sym GTS 250 is a fantastic machine for a 250cc, once owned a X9500 and this bike beats it hands down for comfort and handling. only gripe i have is the oil sign that lights up every 1000km telling you to change the oil,..1000km! too soon surely! and there is no tool to adjust the rear shocks, very bad thing for sym to be doing for a new bike. Other than those things, i wouldnt change it for any other bike.

The Sym GTS scooter is very good. I drive 43 kms daily. Power is terrific. Fuel consumption around 24 kms/liter, city driving. You can do self-maintenance if you have some basic tools in the house.

Just an update now I've had the Sym GTS 250 for a couple of months. I've fitted a Multivar 2000 Malossi variator (158 pounds) and the initial and 'in gear' acceleration is awesome and there's a few miles an hour extra top speed too. The engine revs a bit higher at lower speeds so have lost about 5/6 mpg. Well worth it though. Recently done a 500 mile round trip and the scoot was comfortable, absolutely reliable and cruised on the motorway at an easy 68/70 mph!!. This is an impressive piece of kit and I can't wait for the GTS 300 if Sym bring it here. The downside is still that noisy screen, have to wear plugs for all but the shortest of journeys and will shortly need a rear tyre. The wheel looks a bit complex to remove.

The Sym GTS 250 scooter is very economical n friendly scooter,

Sym GTS250cc Excellent scooter. I have been riding it in New Zealand for about 8 month and I have done on it over 16 000 km.It goes smooth and it is very comfortable to ride in a traffic on motorway. Easily taking over another cars. Possible to ride the distance over 300 km for full tank of fuel ( 12 L), which is quite economical.
