Not to be racist, just a funny observation, I think Malays prefer the style of the Runner, while Chinese prefer the style of the G-Max. Of course, every rule has its exceptions.

 

hehe, u r abit wrong. one of our scooter boss here is riding gmax leh...

[arsie]

I realise that, thats why I say there are exceptions

[FinG]

i riding black+gery runner so tat make me a gay?

 

Uh, you do realise that you have a purple hello kitty avatar?

[ahboy535]

both are nice...but runner is taller i suppose...u tall or short ? anyway choose the one you like and suits ur wallet

[ah_dun]

i think shld b almost the same la~! anyway i'm 165cm height i ride a Gmax and i need to tip toe. =)

[FinG]

Uh, you do realise that you have a purple hello kitty avatar?

kitty is cool:)

[arsie]

anyway choose the one you like and suits ur wallet

 

Just a matter of curiosity, it seems a few people have owned both runner and g-max, how big is the difference between the two on your wallet?

[ah_dun]

is it??? actually not very big diff la... but i only know got few ex-runner trade in for G-max...

[dyno_88]

Seems like words of wisdom.

 

The look of the two bikes are quite different. More sharp edges for the G-Max, and bulkier look of the new Runner. The older Runners have the curves. I'd say go for the look you prefer. It feels better justifying a decision because of your feelings, rather than justify it because of $.

 

I don't think the two bikes are that different in cost. The parts for the G-Max are lower, but Runner seems to have a better resale demand, so that might all even out in the end.

 

Not to be racist, just a funny observation, I think Malays prefer the style of the Runner, while Chinese prefer the style of the G-Max. Of course, every rule has its exceptions.

 

I'm a chinese, but i love the runner better because of it's brand and quality. hahaha proud to be owner of an italian bike.

Bros..

 

I was thinking of getting this bike...

 

I checked and found a 2nd hand one FBA plate for 3.8k

 

can i know wat to check for...

Further more i am a heavyweight..this bike got power to go up slope or not???..haha..

 

Also i read that theres problem on the exhaust bracket>>izzit true...

[bigcow]

abt the exhaust bracket, very true. actually this bike is only 172cc though its written GTS200. it shares the same engine as the Joyride. actually, better look for another brand bike. even Kymco works better.

[VesWav]

Hmm...Kymco dink ah?? outlook sucks le....

Hmm..more abt sym...in terms of performance??

[WhiteOryx]

Hello there bro,

 

You may want to refer to our Sym Cafe for more information about the bike. Most of the question might has been discussed before hence it would be faster to get your answer from there Have a nice time looking through it

[VesWav]

i have read tru before..not really informative to me.....need more personal experience...haha...

more on fuel consumption and power to go up slope...

[mybigshow]

Up slope can be faster than any 1.1L car, pick up quite fast, quite a reliable scooter. Maintenance quite cheap, can be cheaper than any Italy scoot. FC ard 25km/L, so it's quite fuel economical for such a big scoot.

[VesWav]

is there a kick start?

If the engine is the same as the old joyride i sugest u can give it a miss.

[midreef]

Just got this bike last week.

 

Quite a pleasant ride. Here is a quick summary of likes and dislikes.

 

Likes

1. Easy to ride

2. Lot of meters/light indicators if you like to know every status of the bike

3. There is a charger in the compartment, yet to try using it

4. Ability to turn on hazardous light if need

5. Quite stable even on highway and windy condition (heavier scooter)

6. Larger storage seat compartment, able to put in a open face helmet and my JRays riding jacket too.

 

Dislikes

1. Quite loud during idling and vibration on the visor is visible, reduces after the engine warm up.

2. A little hard over humps, I guess the wheels are small, but going to check with the shop on the suspension in the next servicing.

[midreef]

Happy New Year to all SYM riders...
