This year SYM introduces the SYMBA, a 101cc 4-speed semi-automatic scooter based on Honda's best selling CUB. When we say best selling, we mean it: the CUB has sold over 60 million units! Honda pulled the CUB from the US in the 80s, but SYM (who has made/sold the bike in Taiwan for decades) is bringing it back and expects it to sell exceptionally well. The bike is said to get over 100 MPG and achieve 49 MPH on 2.5" x 17" tires. All this and two-toned seats for $2,598. Find out more at the SYMBA page or check out the Team SYMBA fan page.
ps: wasn't the cub in The Lion King names Simba? Coincidence? I think not...
UPDATE: I mistakenly listed it as a 50cc when it is actually a 101.4cc. Thanks Suzanne!

The motorcycle that changed the world. I really hope this bike takes off again here in the US. My question is this, while the MPG is certainly high, it is no where near the 225mpg that the bike originally got. Why wouldn't it be at least that good today?

The MPG figure from back in the day is for a 50cc, while this is a larger engine. Hence less milage...
I want a 50cc one that gets 225mpg. I'd still be riding it even if gas cost $45/gallon.
