2012 SYM HD Review

If you are looking for great quality, style, and impressive handling in a scooter and the 2012 SYM HD 200 EVO is first and last place you need to look. With top of the line engine technology this scooter is not only fun but efficient. It can take you to and from shopping and work or for a long country drive. No matter where you go you will arrive in comfort and style. As much as you love to get on take it for a spin it is even better with a passenger. Yes, this ride fits two comfortably.

The engineers of SYM have brilliantly introduced ceramic coated cylinders into its engines. The HD 200 EVO has a powerful 171.2cc, four-stroke, single ceramic coated cylinder in this overhead valve (OHV) engine. The CDI electronic or optional kick-start makes it easy from the get go. Just jump on and get started with no fuss- no muss. As soon as the engine engages and you are ready the continuously variable transmission (CVT) makes a smooth transition from stop to go and back again. This is such a great feature for city living and commuting. But it is good for more than that as it hits speed above 70 miles an hour. However, have no fear because this little powerhouse has impressive stopping abilities with single hydraulic disc brakes featured in the front and rear. The 2.1 gallon gas tank can take you about 140 miles before you need to reach in that pocket to fill it up again. To cushion those bumps and divots of the road the 2012 HD 200 EVO is equip with telescopic fork suspension in the front and twin sided swing arm in the rear with an adjustable spring pre-load shock absorber. The seat sits a comfortable 31 inches high and keeps the driving in a relaxed upright position. Don’t worry there is plenty of room and comfort for your passenger too. You will both fit nicely on this one piece cushion.

Overall, the 2012 SYM HD is an impressive scooter that delivers a reliable ride.
