I have owned two SYMs, the last one was the 400i. It was a pretty good scooter for the price but it didn't come anywhere near the BMW for ride, class or satisfaction!
I took my seat to a Motor Trimmer and he shaved 30mm (1-1/4 in) from the top and he narrowed and contoured the sides, the result being that rather than tippy-toe I can now comfortably get my balls of my feet on the ground with just my heels slightly raised. He even reinstalled the heating pad...
You thought I was joking about avoiding kangaroos! check out the video link below. This is a semi-regular occurrence where I live in a country town 100k north of Sydney, the Roos sleep on my front and back lawn as my back yard joins on to the national park.
Kangaroos get into boxing match on...
I fitted an Akra just for the absurdity of it and unfortunately I have fallen in love with the sound. I have even removed the db killer and I love the looks when people realise it's a scooter... I love the ridiculousness of it all.... it will stay.
Over here in Oz, (Australia), we can buy them as well, only we call them "Roo Whistles"...... Maybe the importer got them mixed up because I have never seen a deer and I bet you blokes have never run into a kangaroo....
