I recently met two riders in Gouritz with these bikes and they were extremely happy with them. Had them fully kitted for an additional R15k. Apparently these are Suzz engines so thats good as well. Hope your wife has fun learning to "look where you want to go and you will go there" and to never look down. Have fun !!!

Lol..Wow...🤭 Sym Adventures is becoming a global institution!!...I see some some very interesting alphabets on the names of people commenting..lol 😅.. you’ve opened Pandora’s box. I had a suspicion that there’s a huge demand for a proper English review on these bikes, and you delivered. That was a great review, I truly hope you get more views and subs (and I think it’s already happening🤔)... you and your wife riding is lovely and cute...lol...and funny too, keep it up.😌👌 Regarding your audio, I’ve noticed some of my favorite bike KZbinrs (Cyclecruza for example, I think he made a couple of videos over the years about his helmet setup🤔) use a “dead-cat” microphone cover for their setups... they don’t get wind noise at all, with or without a windshield. Some of them ride sport bikes or dirt bike without any wind protection and their audio is just perfect. Maybe you can look into that 🤷♂️. I think you might have accidentally found yourself a gold mine ☝️😌🤷♂️ Keep them coming!!! 👌

Good review! Wife and I also recently purchased the 200 and very happy. We also added the crash bars, extended touring screen and top box bracket. In addition to that we also added the soft luggage brackets for the sides. Need cheap hand guards? Order the guards that fit on the Sym Crox 125 - when standing in front of the bike the left hand bolts on, no issues. The right hand one you just need to make an extension plate to make it fit.

And Suzuki South quoted me almost R7500 for both sides excluding decals, another R3000! Ok bike, seat not comfortable after half an hour.

Hallo to all the biker friends out there! I need advise please. 😊. I must choose between the Suzuki 150Gixxer or the SYM 200 NHT. I know it is different bikes with different target markets. In South Africa they cost ± the same and to me they both look fantastic! Which is the best for my money? I will only use it as a run-about, mostly for fun. Will probably only do about 50 km per week, 99% in town. Sometimes less.

Hello Dirk ive been riding the SYM 200 NHT not much experiance with regards to the Suzuki 150Gixxer but i do think its a nice looking motorcycle but its looks more street and sporty oriantated .
