Quite a few interesting scoots being unveiled at EICMA, though of course it there's no way of knowing whether any will make their way to the UK. Some I've noticed include (No idea who the YouTuber is!)

QJ have a Tmax style scoot - 550cc, 55bhp, bike like chassis with belt final drive


Aprilia have their 400cc Adventure Scoot (similar to ADV350)


Rather curious Sym Touring scoot, basically a TL508 with panniers (and small fuel tank!).

The zontes 552G looks interesting as a larher version of the 368G. Voge have released a ADV350 competitor as well. Be interesting to see if these end up in uk shores.

To round this off, this video is a round up of Maxi-scoots at EICMA, including a couple we haven't mentioned previously.

I like the SYM (though I like the young lady sitting on it more). But I would definitely not have one. (The SYM not the young lady.) Great till you need a part for it. Getting parts from the importers is like trying to knit fog. I know, as I have had one.

Perhaps she should be an optional extra. I’d buy one.

Yeah...the Sym Adventure bike thingy looks quite interesting as its only a 400 but has a proper swing arm and chassis mounted engine design. They are selling the 508TL (Tmax clone) off at silly prices these days (half the Tmax price) and I have toyed with one as my mk3 Tmax is getting a bit aged, but I do worry long term availability of parts etc.

Just seen a vid from the Motorbike show in Brum, which says that MotoGB have the largest stand in the entire show with no less than 77 bikes/scoots on show! Worryingly, the MotoGB website now lists Suzuki and Kawasaki plus KTM and Aprilia as their brands as well as Sym, Voge, and other Chinese brands - if they are as useless as is generally believed, then we are seriously screwed!

Wonder how many will make it to the uk....

Motorcycle live looked like a poor mans version of EICMA!

For info, it seems the Voge SR450X will be coming to the UK, though when and at what price is still to be announced. Looks like a rather hefty 'engine on the swing arm' design to me, so I'm not in a rush.
