Scooter Shootout:: Vespa 150 vs. LML Star Deluxe 150 vs SYM GTS 200

VESPA 150From the little I’ve understood of the Vespa 150 aside from the fact that it’s clad in a plastic shell, is that it shares the same Leader engine as its stablemate, the Vespa LX 150. So I guess u’re basically paying for the Leader lump & the rest of the body parts are slapped onto it, mish-mash, with whatever’s left of the remaining price tag with Chinese & Indian parts for cost savings.

After market accessories for SYM GTS 200

Some after market accessories for the SYM GTS 200 i spotted at a shop in Klang recently. The Taiwan sourced after market exhaust muffler is really loud but i was told the power gain is just marginal, so that would make it more of a decorative enhancement.

Just got back from Bangkok, had a great trip & looking forward to go back soon for more sights and the delicious food. But it was really hot there, wonder if it's because of the urban heat that's trapped from the traffic and the buildings, or was it because it was at the height of summer.
