Sym Joyride 180

Now done 4000 k and scoot running in nicely now,it was like riding a bucking bronco at first it was so tight but now its very good.Brilliant handling and well planted and as the rider you feel solid on most surfaces,The suspension is just let down a little on rough surfaces but you just have to slow down and accept that small wheels will struggle.I cant compare with other scooters because my last one was a Vespa in 1969.100% reliable,starts first time every time and I look forward to riding it every day unlike my last bike which was a 1200 cc motor cycle which was in my opinion a big clumsy thing but perhaps my riding ability was to blame but the Joyride is an absolute doodle,couldnt be easier and it keeps you warm with a good windshield,overall its a great scoot.

THIS WAS MY VERY FIRST MOTORCYCLE,I ALWAYS DREAMED TO OWN MY VERY OWN BIKE! JOYRIDEMOTOR.COM MADE THIS EXPERIENCE A NIGHTMARE FOR ME! I FIRST HAD TROUBLE WITH THEM TAKING MY $2100 TO GET MY BIKE.THE LADY WOULDN'T ANSWER MY CALLS OR RETURN THEM, THIS WAS WORK! THEN I WAS SO HAPPY TO RECEIVE MY BIKE SO I SIGN FOR IT LET THE DELIVERY GUY LEAVE THINKING WHEN I GET HELP TO UNWRAP THE NEW BIKE I WOULD BE SO PLEASED! ONLY TO GET A SCARED UP DENT IN MY GAS TANK AND WHEN I CALL THEM THE LADY SAID, ONCE YOU SIGNED FOR THE BIKE WE NOT RESPONSABLE FOR THE BIKE SORRY!I ONLY SIGNED FOR RECEIVING THE BIKE I HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW THE BIKE LOOKED INSIDE OF BOX/CREATE/IRON HOLDER I NEEDED HELP TO TAKE THIS HEAVY MOTORCYCLE OUT! I THEN SAID WHERE IS THE PAPER WORK SO CAN INSURE AND MY RECEIPT ANY PROOF OF PURCHASE FROM YOUR COMPANY? IT IS 1/21/13 I BOUGHT MY BIKE OVER 30 DAYS AGO, NO ONE WILL HELP OR CARE FROM THIS COMPANY, SO WILL NEVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN. AND MY LAWYER WILL BE CALLED SOON!

had this about 15 months now after stepping down from a 650 Bandit as I now only commute and wanted something less heavy with more weather protection and storage. Weather protection is great, keeps off win and rain and I fitted bar muffs for extra cover through winter, storage is fantastic, easily keep my helmet, gloves, waterproofs and bits of shopping under seat, fuel economy is around 85/90 mpg and is very nippy. OK, so it won't keep up with the big boys out of town but as a commuter and occasional longer trips I couldn't be happier. I've experienced no problems at and would definitely recommend it, it also has a 3yr warranty which none of the big manufacturers will offer.

best allround scooter ive ever had ive had motor cycles, and scooters, but this is a little gem,its got power when you turn tap on, and can get you out of trouble easaly with the speed , if theres one down side it hasnt got a passing light switch ,

This scooter is value for money. It doesn't consume much gasoline ie 30+km per litre. The ride is comfortable thank you for the CVT and 171 cc engine. The sitting position is excellent and the broad and thick cushion helps to distribute the rider's weight. The legs are in a relax position as one would sit on a thick padded chair.There is an ample leg space and enough space for a small bag.

The ride is smooth on a even road but it can be irritating on uneven and bumpy road. The tiny little tires magnify the vibration and bumps. Nevertheless , this bike is nippy for city use as the acceleration is commendable .

Sym Joyride 180 has Comfort, great passenger positon, reliable, great acceleration, value for money,

Love this Bike . Great overall ride and value and looks good too.

We enjoyed our time with the scooter and it certainly is an easy runabout compared to my Yam Xj 900!

I would have one at home just for a trip out at weekends but what an English winter would do to this machine I hate to think.

It was a good introduction to scooters for me after 40 years on a bike.

Oil change is most important, every 2k (yes, do it yourself, it takes 10 minutes) and it will hold for a long time. this is my 3rd and last JR 200. I will move to the hyosung MS3 250cc which has 2 disc brakes in front 2 year warranty and closes at 150km.Overall I think quality junk and she be sold after 2 full years. I'm not talking about putting 15km everyday I'm talking about 40km everyday.

Great overall general purpose scooter. Storage, excellent handling,starts and idles better than the 125 I owned before the 180. Performance is much better for Duel carrigeways and riding 2 up. Good size fuel tank. Good overal fuel economy. Getting around 80 mpg on shortish runs even when rode fairly hard.

Good. Protection, handling, reliability, possibilty of transporting bigger things in the foot-rest (a chest of beer e.g.), fuel consumption city 3,5L, outer city 3L.

3years 18000 kilometers no damages, only needed 1 new tire.
