The Sym GTS is a fantastic machine for a 250cc, once owned a X9500 and this bike beats it hands down for comfort and handling. Only gripe you’ll love to have is the oil sign that lights up every 1000km telling you to change the oil, 1000km! Too soon surely! And there is no tool to adjust the rear shocks, very bad thing for sym to be doing for a new bike. SYM or Sanyang Motorcycle claim to be the largest manufacture of scooters in Taiwan and Taipei, Taiwan's capital, is said to be the scooter capital of the world. So they should know how to build a decent scooter. Originally they assembled for Honda, like their main rival Kymco, but subsequently decided to go it alone launching the SYM brand on an unsuspecting world.

According to my local dealer, SYM make every piece on the machine down to the last nut and bolt although not strictly true as I can see the tires are branded "Maxxi". The GTS 250 (also known as Joymax or Voyager in some markets and as the "Bolwell Firenze" in Australia and New Zealand) was introduced in 2005 and sits firmly in the GT maxi-scooter category.
