[QUOTE="'87GWTraveler, post: 195259, member: 5205"] Thanks for all the welcoming support from all. This is my first 'Wing. It is also the biggest bike I've ever owned. My Triumph rides a lot like my old Norton 850 except that it always starts and runs. The Sym is kind of like a heavy moped with 4 gears and a sense of humor. Symba will indeed do 55-60 and bring home the groceries(beer). Sym actually built the Cub for Honda for many years, this is just their own version of it. Now the 'Wing.... Remarkably low center of gravity and fairly stable at low speeds. It's hard to say how it handles because the rear tire has the freeway wear pattern of flat across the face, and the front is kind of wavy with decent tread. Both tires will soon be replaced. I also have new Gates timing belts and oil and air filters to play with. The bike runs great, but seems to run a little rich?? I will be posting pictures soon. Promise. Best to all, Chris :salute: [/QUOTE]
