I Just got almost new SYM HD 200.This thing is fantastic. Already customised - Aluminum muffler, wind shield, exhaust header shield, trunk. I removed the side kick stand, since it is spring loaded and could result in a sudden fall of the parked machine.
This thing can easily keep up with my KYMCO P 250, yet it is now 70 lbs lighter that P250 an is super easy to push it around on parking and getting it on main stand.
I reccomend it highly, it is a high tech bike and very well built. The importer - Carter Brothers are also very friendly people and they mailed to me the Service Manual and Parts Manual absolutely free, no shipping charges.
Whoever looks for 200 to 250 cc scooter, this should be it. Don’t even look at Kymco 200.

Interesting little review. I’m currently looking at the 250cc scooters, and would love your opinion.
The three are the Honda Reflex, Kymco People 250, and Piaggio BV250.
The only one I’ve actually ridden is the Piaggio.
I would consider the Sym HD200 if I knew it had enough power. Your quick comparison about “easily keeping up with the People 250″ interests me most.

The hd200 is actually a 180cc bike.. but because of its water cooled, 4valve engine, and high tech ceramic lined cylinder it puts out fantastic HP. If you are looking for a maxi, that is a real 250..check out the sym RV250. I think it compares easily to the piaggio, and is probably way better priced.

I also just got a SYM HD200 have not ridden anything with two
wheels for a good number of years. Seems like a great machine at least so far. I would like to know what windshield you added, and how did you do it.
