19000 miles? Maybe if you went around about four times. Sticking to evry tiny little coastal road, you might clock up 6000 or so, and that at a push. I did it in 3500, just over, which seems about average. :D

as little as that CeeGee? wow would have thought a bit more, good job had an epiphany and changed the run to taking in major cities, and there dealer network. making it a bit different to the lands end run, i had done a little looking around, these little bikes have been taken across the Australian outback from one side to other, through California up to Alaska. not exactly short journeys. im getting a fair bit of respect for there abilities, the Taiwanese postal service use them, much like the Aussie postal service uses CT110's, so i guess the reliability is nothing like the usual Chinese bike levels.

Excellent. Keep us posted how it goes, I'm sure there will be lots of interest!. Most welcome on here with such a close relative of the Cub. From the pics I've seen, the main frame looks exactly the same. Cheers.

Will do, for ref paid £1899 which includes a comprehensive two year warranty so whilst some seem to think this is a bit steep, given the finish/quality compared to many very "plasticky" and samey looking scooters i think it's not bad at all.

its still reasonable compared to the "new" lambrettas there away to offer, also made with a SYM engine... LN series and LS series available in 50, 125 and 150cc think there around 3k.. they look ok for a plastic scooter, but 3k!

....old thread I know but a friend was asking me about these today. Was doing a little bit of research (already told him to buy the latest made Cub with low mileage and history he can find :roll: ) Check the dry weight, I sure hope that's a typo but everyone selling them quotes :shock: :roll: http://www.symuk.co.uk/symba_100cc.php
