    Over 50,000 km and it still looks like new! It's a pleasure to see someone who takes such good care of his possessions.

      @ChrisWeevilGarage  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Keluarkan cover tengah² tu, screw-in tapak henfon holder, letak balik cover dgn contact gum. Tapi jaga², klu kena lubang besar kat jalan, blh tercabut. Lbh baik letak henpon dlm waterproof holder yg ada lanyard, ikat kat handle 👍🏽😊

    My honda pcx first model CBU from thailand before assemble in malaysia just one year younger than yours. Bought in 2012. Coming 8 yrs now. That's my daily commuter to and back from work. Save time and petrol and no stress on road

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage
      @ChrisWeevilGarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, the Honda PCX is a damn nice scooter too, I like it, but physically it's too small for me. Rented one in Phuket once, enjoyed it 👍🏾😀

    Hearing from The Man himself...i am now putting doubts to rest regarding durability of SYM bikes. I bought sym t2 250cc 3 years ago...never rode long distance. So far mileage only 6k..ha..ha. I am now assured that with proper servicing and maintenance, sym bikes are not lemons.
    Tq chris...👍

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage
      @ChrisWeevilGarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most welcome bro!! Not lemons at all, only the plastics need a bit of care and attention once in a while. And of course preventive maintenance is a must, just like with any other motorized vehicle 🙏🏽👍🏾😊

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage
      @ChrisWeevilGarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow, 2 years! Firstly, still got petrol in the tank? Haha! Kudos for even trying. If i don't start mine for more than 2wks it will already have trouble firing up, what more 2yrs. Best to tow it to a workshop bud, probably needs a full service and carb cleaning, plus new petrol 😊🙏🏽

    Hmmm. What's the difference between the VTS 200 and the Evo 250? They look strikingly similar apart from the headlights.

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage
      @ChrisWeevilGarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 200 is carburettored and the 250i is fuel-injected, but yeah, physically both are about the same 😊

    Nice scooter..rode once in Kl before.imagine 2 blokes about your size on it .I notice Sym did a very good job by having a lot of small usable space on this scooter especially inside the underseat compartment..Even the newer Xmax can't beat it.

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage

    Can I ask a favour question.Thought of picking up a Mercs oldie w 210 E240 series .Is it worthwhile playing with this and where do I send it for checks and repairs etc.Thanks,bro. Greatly influence by you and all your old timers. Anyway,I am older than you chronologically,might as well have some fun with the process.

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage
      @ChrisWeevilGarage  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha!! Thanks for watching and the comment, yes, the w210 is built like a brick, made to last. One of the last "tanks" made by MB, well worth getting. After the MCO u can get in touch with my buddy Ken, he owns the one I reviewed some time ago, and he's a foreman at a workshop too, 013-9297789 😊👍🏾

    SYM scooters are always my favourite. Built to last..Don't know why..I've owned a Tmax and a Kymco 400cc before but you will never believe that once throughout from 2008 till 2018 period, I owned Four Modenas Elegan (SYM joyride 150) two SYM GTS, Three SYM GTS 250, Three SYM Maxsym 4001 apart from one versys, a 'Rabbit"..That's how I got my nick "Jnkuning"
    Had to stop being a biker due to health reason in 2018..but I still keep one 2011 SYM GTS Evo 250 as my daily convenient scooter..those were the days
    here's one of my ride back then
