Finally got me a scoot - a Sym Joyride 200i evo, 2 years old & in immaculate condition from NCM in Bude, Cornwall, who delivered the bike to me in Worthing on time!
The bike "ticks all the boxes" as far as I'm concerned - very comfortable, goes well, well put together and handles very well compared to my old X8 (was a bit "top heavy" in my experience).
Underseat storage is good, the screen is the right height for me (5' 8") & the seat height (760mm ) lets me put both feet flat on the ground. Great! Will see how it performs & note it's fuel use is over the next few weeks.
Cheers to all& sundry!
