I have a symba, got it "new" at local dealer this spring, it's a 2010. Like it a lot but no dealer support and although I thought the extra 30cc and 4 th gear would be cool I end up riding my 83 passport for the daily driver. Good small extras are oval hand grip (I got da arthritis) center stand and gas auto shut off. Also has two position adjustable shock that is great. Really sticks close to the original Honda with a few upgrades. 600 miles no problems.
