SYM SYMPHONY SR 125 2014-2015

This one, the 124.6cc Symphony from leading Taiwanese scootermaker SanYang Motorcycles (SYM), is very much in the Scarabeo mould with fully exposed 16” cast-alloy rims making the most of its “real bike” pretensions. The instrument panel is also conservative, with a neatly-enclosed mechanical speedometer and fuel gauge, three warning lights and not a liquid crystal or LED in sight There's no tripmeter or clock but it's easy to read at a glance in any light and feels immediately familiar. Turn the key to the left to unlock the seat, revealing the fuel filler cap and a storage space big enough for a full-face helmet.
