SYM Shark

Top Notch! – Big disc brakes, good acceleration. Limiter removed - can get to 68kph+. Heaps of storage space. Looks good, handles beautifully. Like the stiff, sizable chassis (same as used for the 125 apparently). When new, needed air breather in fuel cap checked and a new seat hinge (construction fault on the plastic hinge mount). Has not missed a beat since then (2008).

3.5l/100km. Nice. Brakes, size, comfort. Head light coverage is ordinary. Low beam is better than high!

Excellent – After extensive searching and many test rides, i found this to be the best 50cc scooter i tried. It is a little higher in the seat than most which is good for looking over cars, as well as making you more visible to cars. Very comfortable and a little larger than most 50cc scooters so you wont need to cramp yourself up. Have had one for about 3 years, and it has never failed to start, has never misbehaved and is a great scooter. The headlight is rubbish

OK – poor quality materials, black colour fades, oil cap cracks, exhaust pipe rusts. Seat could be more comfortable. Good acceleration. Beam light not very good. Good handling After 8000 km started leaking petrol through the air filter chamber. After the repair (replaced carb) loses power (cannot accelerate) after going up the hill.

Excellent – I would recommend this scooter. It is great fun to ride, even in wet weather. The storage is adequate - holds a helmet. It has good acceleration, I think due to power to weight ratio. Good for tall people. Easy to handle in traffic. Economical. Headlights not much good at night.
