Russ, don't even think about feeling obligated. It'll sell, I'm sure of that. For the amount of riding you'll likely due, you may be better off with the SYM. It's a great bike, I rode one, very peppy, and with the same Korean/Japanese reliability we're used to with the Kymcos. But it's here if you want it.
