Good Points

Big enough for two people ,
4 stoke 250cc
Good underseat storage.
Spare Part avaiablity is good.


Bad Points

It very hard to start on cold starts.
It not very stable at windy condtions.
Short service interval every 3,000 kms intstead the paggio scooter every service intervals at 10,000 kms.
Very unstable a low speeds.
High beam is very dim at night
scooter is build like an army tank very heavy with turning around courners.
not very powerful scooter engine compare to other motorbike in the 250cc class .
Always going to worry when the needs to be serviced every 3,000 kms when it up instead of enjoying the 250cc scooter .
More powerful engine need to produced with EFI .


General Comments

It really need to improve in alot of areas for it to be a great touring scooter , the aero features of the scooter has some faulty areas of the design of the acutal scooter itself , the realiblity is good. The scooter width 890mm with is to wide for a actual touring scooter , I actually own a 2500c black 2007 Firenze in australia , I will definaely not a another sym scooter in the future , my perference would paggio or aprila scooter because of the longer service internvals every 10,000 kms .

    Also, luck on getting 10000km out of a piaggio or aprilla. The book says 5000k but all the service agents say 3000km.
