Symone performance - speed/consumption

This is my first ever mototcycle, as I stated before in previous posts, so I've no terms of comparison.

Now what I can say is that I'm very satisfied with it, but... I trully sense that some other maxi-scooter are way better in terms of motor (speed/performance/consumption).

I've been talking to other maxi-scooter owners and they say that their machines spend less gas than mine.
I'm doing 1 deposit (12lts) to make ~280kms which gives more than 4,2lts/100km :(
I know that I'm a heavy guy, and that I don't perform a conservative drive (I speed up downhill a lot) but at this time I really thought that it would have a better consumption... :(

On the way home I always do this big hill on the highway and other 125 scooters always pass me by... all other brands seem to have more "power", even 125 with two people on it :(

Yesterday was the first time EVER I've pass a scooter on the hill... It was a guy bigger that me with an Sym GTS 125 Evo just like my Symone :)

My scooter's name :)

I tend to give name to things... even objects.
So I've been thinking of a name to my brand new Sym GTS 125 Evo since the day I bought "her" - yes, it's a she :)

Some pop my mind like VickyBitch, SheRa, Viper and so on, but none was the one.

So I've ask the help of a professional, a good good friend who his a "nickname master" (he spends 5 minutes with a person and gives that person the right nickname, it's a gift... really).

So, after small  talk in the messenger, he suggests the name that I've realize has the one.


Isn't this a girlish looking eye? (click to enlarge)

Sym the one
Sym + one
Symone
Oh yeah! I'm gonna ride Symone! :)
