Do you feel vibrations on the engine at 130 km/h? Can the motorcycle be driven comfortably on the highway?

It is very comfortable to drive at that speed (didn't notice any disturbing vibrations). I drive a lot on the highway and the scooter is perfectly suited for that. Good protection, handling and enough power.

What a beautiful road, where is it? Switzerland?

It's in France, but the location is not very far from Switzerland

What do you think about the scooter? I believe its good, but I would like to know it's negatives.

I am very happy with my purchase. Here is a quick comparison with my former EURO 4 Kymco Xciting S 400 equiped with a Polini variator: TL 508 pros: - Much better comfort and stability when driving - Very smooth transmission which allows to drive relaxed in short city ride (it was very on/off on my xciting, probably due to the Polini variator) - Slight performance increase at high speed - I LOVE the sound of the bicylinder TL 508 cons: - Not the fastest to take off from a green light (the S400 was quicker from 0 to 50-60 km/h) - For my usage, I found more convenient to have a handbrake on the handlebsar rather than the side stand braking implemented on the TL - Chain transmission which required some maintenance For my usage which includes regularly 130km of highway in one day, the TL perfectly fits my needs. For someone who is only doing city driving and wants the best acceleration within city speed limits, a EURO4 S400 with a variator may be a better choice (can't comment on the EURO5 version which is less powerful).

​@@georgem2456 There is some variability indeed. Driving normally, my consumption was around 4.7 / 100 km. During more intense sessions, it was more around 5.3L / 100 km.

@@vincent2167 These are good numbers to be honest. If you put a Polini 12ball kit, you would get the best you can have from the TL. In Greece many people have tested the Malossi kit, the Polini 8ball kit and the Polini 12ball kit and the last one is the best

Same situation here buddy i came to SYM TL 508 from Kymco Xciting 400s and the difference is how smooth the SYM is and it handles better and the suspension is far better. Kymco is faster and more dynamic at start better acceleration but this pulls better after 50 60 kmh. What is the maximum speed you achieved and fuel consumption after the break in period and did ypu had amy issues with the bike so far? Cheerz

You perfectly summarized it ! I never tried to test the max speed, I managed to reach around 150 km/h without any issue. I actually had my engine replaced under warranty at around 4000 km because the engine oil consumption was high (greater than 0.5 liter per 1000km). No issue since then. Still a bit of oil consumption, but that could be because I do a lot of highway (regularly up to 120 km in one day). I installed 13gr rollers and my consumption is around 4.8 L/100 km. These light rollers improve significantly the performance, here is a comparison I made: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kYihqq-pcpbfaLg.html

@@vincent2167 Wow that's a pretty serious stuff...Replacing engine at only 4000km is a big deal. Are you famiIiar that this problem happened on anyone else or it was just yours as an isolated unit?I hope it won't happen on mine...🙄But i guess you only get as much you pay. TL 508 is almost half the price of Yamaha Tmax and almost 6000 euro less than Honda Xadv in my country. You can never go wrong with the Japanese but they are too expensive...

@@strezification The oil consumption issue was there from the start (I already noticed it during the break-in period). If you don’t have this problem on your model, you shouldn’t worry at all. It is not a widespread issue, I have only heard about one other case on my side.
