Quote by: fredIm not sure, but isn't this bike the one I saw on the news that a old foreigner guy was so pissed off that he tried to brake the bike on the public? first he tried to throw in inside a construction hole, then hammered it and then sold for 10 baht. because the bike gave only headaches to him.
it was on thai news channel.
The Honda or the SYM Fred? I read already many good reviews about the SYM and have seen a fair number of different models out and about where I live in northern BKK, a large SYM/Keeway showroom is close to my home. I`ll have to check whether they have lowered the prices in BKK like Jeffrey has noted in Chiang Mai because the new price in his area does look like good value.
Max,
Where near you is the big dealer?

It's just across the north BKK border in Muang Nonthaburi in Tiwanon Road just short of the junction with Ngamwongwan Road. He has a full range of Sym and Keeway and also has the Benelli 600. The shop is like the Tardis as it stretches a long way back behind the main road.
OK. Just south of the junction? Towards Rama 5 bridge?

it was definitely the SYM I believe. the bike he smashed after not being able to get rid of it throwing into a construction whole. LOL.
Quote by: JeffreyNoted near where I live in Chiang Mai, that SYM has lowered the asking prices
400 is not 168,000 Bt and the 300 is now just over 130,000 Bt.
Though I don't like Mega scooters, the SYM is now very close to a price where I would get one just to play with it and see
Can someone confirm this, please. Where do i buy one in Pattaya area?

The best thing you can do is contact the distributor in Bangkok for information regarding dealers in Pattaya.
You can contact Sym Thailand at 02-613-9727 (and probably things go faster if you let somebody call who speaks Thai).
Mityon in Pattaya is listed as a SYM dealer? It is even on their website?

Sorry if my envlish is not perfect
I am french 
I own a SYM 300 for 3 years now and I am so happy with it that I gonna buy one in Thailand
I have rent a Forza 3 times in Pattaya each time for 3 weeks long so I think I have a good idea of this bike
I can tell you that SYM is a lot more comfortable easy to drive even in town and outside ....incredible.
Parts will be more difficult to find ? Not sure
I buy my breaking pads or my belt everytime in PATTAYA
They have stocks available
Prices might be more than for a forza but for me this is really worth it
I hope this first post will help you guys
As this is a 2 years old thread? My vote goes to the Sym the current version has a better motor than the Honda. So grunt is a bit more.
Of course if one is more worried about resale than riding the Honda will probably be worth more after 3 years.
Cagou. If you buy your SYM in Thailand, i have a J Costa variator in stock if you need one. Sorry for the obvious commercial plug but one has to try:-)
Parts should be OK but you may have to wait a day for them to come from BKK. I have a mate with one and he hasn't said anything negative.
At the moment I don't know the price of the Honda Forza 300, I believe it's 159,000 THB. but I saw the Sym GTS 300i for 135,000 THB at the main showroom of Sym Thailand in Bangkok.
