***THE SYM WOLF A CLASSIC REBORN***ONLY $2999.00 TOP SPEED 65 MILES PER HOURTHIS WAS NEVER A HONDA ALWAYS MADE BY SYM (Honda, just put their name on it in the U.S.) NOW IT IS HERE BY THE REAL MANUFACTURE, ( AND UPGRADED TO A 150CC) WITH A 2 YEAR PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY (not Honda's 1 year)Once upon a time, small-bore singles occupied a significant slot in the motorcycle market. Simple, approachable and easy to ride, they were an affordable way to decide if you really wanted to be a motorcyclist after all.Back in the Sixties, every motorcycle manufacturer -- even Harley-Davidson -- had at least one small single in its model lineup. Honda was no exception, hardly surprising from the company often credited with bringing motorcycling to the U.S. masses, its catchy "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" ads showing happy, non-motorcycle-type people riding single-cylinder C100 or C110 step-throughs.It was a different era, slowly ushered out in the U.S. as small bikes were increasingly pushed aside to make way for ever-larger multi-cylinder machines, many of them from Honda. By 1973, the year Honda introduced the CB125S overhead cam single to our market, the influence of small bikes on the U.S. market had dramatically diminished.But that didn't mean small singles weren't appreciated elsewhere, and they continue to influence many markets today, particularly in large cities where parking space is non-existent or in developing countries where incomes don't support automobile ownership. Although you wouldn't know it judging by the U.S. market, Honda's presence in the category continues, with its own products and license-built clones of its singles selling by the millions around the world.Almost from the start, Honda pursued licensing agreements with other companies to build its bikes. In 1962, Taiwan's Sanyang Industry Co. Ltd. partnered with Honda to build Honda motorcycles, eventually manufacturing Honda cars before the joint venture was abandoned in 2002. In the intervening 40 years, SYM, Sanyang's motorcycle division, built literally millions of little Honda singles. It still does today, but now they're sold under the SYM banner.THE CONTRACT WITH HONDA ENDED, WHEN "SYM" DECIDED TO BRING THE PRODUCT IN, UNDER THEIR MANUFACTURE NAME "SYM" SYM IS A LEADER IN THE MANUFACTURING OF POWER SPORTS, BUILDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY AVAILABLE, TODAY.The SYM Wolf Classic 150 SYM has continued cranking them out, first in 125cc guise and now as a 150 (actually 149.4cc, but who's counting?) it markets here as the Wolf Classic.If you're only mildly familiar with the original CB125S you'll be forgiven for looking at the Wolf and thinking, "Hey, cool old Honda," because that's what most people think. While we were photographing our test bike, a 50-something passerby was mildly incredulous when we told him our SYM wasn't a restored classic but a brand new bike.That was a common reaction to the Wolf Classic while we had it, and we'd wager it's precisely what SYM is banking on in the U.S. market, where making small bikes hip seems to be a good -- and necessary -- marketing strategy ******************************************************************************* AVAILABLE: IN STOCK RED AND WHITE $2999.00***************************************************************************** FINANCING AVAILABLE : apply in store or online www.solanocycle.com *********************************************************************SOLANO CYCLE 565 BLANDING BLVD ORANGE PARK show contact info 815 BEACH BLVD JAX BEACH show contact info 1024 S MAIN GAINESVILLE,FL show contact info 32 SAN MARCO ST AUG show contact info We are committed to giving you the absolute best quality scooters, with the industries longest and most comprehensive parts and labor warranty, at the lowest prices of anyone North and Central Florida.
