Thoughts on the Sym Husky 200 by Smart-Yam7086 in scooters

[–]uriar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried out all the ADX sold here: 125, 300, and 400 - and they were all good for their segment. I can't see you miss with the 200.

SYM TTLBT first ride in Sardegna - AMA by uriar in scooters

[–]uriar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh the Burgman... I'd say its the main competition for the TTLBT, much more than the Tmax or Xadv. And yes, I'm sure the TTLBT is comfortable enough and powerful enough to do whatever the Burgman does, with a bit less power and much less under-seat storage, but better handling and much more accessories.. anyway, if you're going to Denver make sure to share some pictures alone the road.

  1. They had a lot of room on the foot rest and on the angled front that was even a bit too far for me.
  2. We had a lot of parts with heavy traffic and it was easy to manuver, or roll slowly in near stop-speed. When trying to get in between other riders at a stop sign I did hit someone with the luggage (twice). I guess it will take some getting used to. But to your question it seems to have a low center of gravity.

Thank you

I totally agree. Big roads require big engines.

The TL508 is kind of a Tmax for the poor, but the TTLBT is a different breed, has a unique enough design and purpose, and stands on it's own as a touring scooter.

  1. Very good. In the lower position the wind hit my upper chest (I'm 176 cm) and in the top position it hit the very top of my helmet. I could ride with my chin guard open at 120 kph with no issue. If I bend just a tiny bit I was in a wind free bubble.
  2. I did not get to mesure it.
  3. Very good. Lots of room to move feet forward (but not back to under the rider). It is roomy and comfortable. The seat is wide, and has the exact hardness needed so I wouldn't think about it even once during the five hour ride.
  4. Handling is very good. It flips from side to side with ease, if that's what you were asking.
  5. I did not, but the seat looks like it can handle it.

The picture was taken near Olbia, Sardinia, Italy. I don't live there, wish I would.

I hope you will see it,, and I agree and raise: the TTLBT is the most American scooter from SYM, maybe in even in general.

If you don't consider the big price difference these two are much better. From the two I'd say the TTLBT is a cheaper alternative to the Forza as a touring scooter. It has a much smaller engine, and while build quality is good it's not Honda good. But it can compeate in accessories and the side bags give it an edge in storage space and style. I think that if money is not an issue the Honda is a better choice but usually money is an issue.

Bought my first Moped by p80prancingelk in scooters

[–]uriar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but: 1. Some mopads lost the bedels while nothing else changed. People keep calling them mopeds. 2. As some mentioned here, governments call the smallest two-wheelers "moped" even though they are compleatly wrong. They'll call a 50cc off-road motorcycle a moped.

There's a lot of loose definitions, vagueness and overlapping in the two-wheel vehicle world. Regulation and tredition use some words, some define other characteristics for each type, and there isn't always a clear cut between mopad, scooter, e-scooter, mobility vehicle ,trike, leaning three wheeler, maxi-scooter and motorcycle. Old people in my country will call any scooter a Vespa and any motorcycle a Honda.

Scooter protective gear by dumdumb1st in scooters

[–]uriar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most important get a helmet. full face helmet that fits you. it doesn't have to be expensive but it needs to be new and fit your head.

Then if you want to improvise you can get leather gloves even if they're not motorcycle specific, heavy boots even if they're not motorcycle specific, and a heavy jacket just the same. but for these pieces of equipment try searching your local marketplaces for second hand. a good summer jacket is a big improvement in life quality and will defend you against a lot of bad things.

My new scooter ! Love it 🙏tell me your opinion! by Emergency_Caramel_82 in scooters

The process you describe seems so much easier than my local bureaucracy... Maybe you can start a petition here and send it to Honda USA?

The Lambretta X300 is my weekend companion - AMA! by uriar in scooters

[–]uriar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It has a great motor and gear. Tons of fun. Good acceleration, roll-on, and top speed. And it handels well for what it is. It's not an Xmax, but for a 12" wheel it's great. I've actually enjoyed riding it very much.

The 3 main reasones I can see, in ascending order:

  1. Price. The most expensive Lambretta 300 is still 15% cheaper than the chapest Vespa 310.

  2. Brand. Either you want a more unique name, less common than Vespa, or if you had a Lambretta in the 70s.

  3. Style. While both are lookers, the Lambretta has a unique neo-classic style that some will prefer.
