Where is the SYM motorcycle brand from?

SYM motorcycles are a brand under Taiwan's Sanyang. The SYM motorcycles referred to in mainland China are actually Xiamen-Xiangyang SYM motorcycles. Xiamen-Xiangyang SYM is a joint venture of Taiwan's Sanyang in mainland China, and SYM is the first company in Taiwan Province to produce motorcycles. Xiamen-Xiangyang SYM has launched more than 30 series of models in the domestic market, including the Zhonghua series, Zhonghua Wolf series, HUSKY, Zhonghua War Horse and police vehicle series, Wind Speed series, Hanjiang series, GR series, and Charm series. While developing the mainland market, Xiamen-Xiangyang SYM is also committed to expanding overseas markets, having launched export models such as Orbit, Fiddle, Tini, Symphony, Jet4, and cello.
As a motorcycle enthusiast and frequent rider, from my personal experience, SYM motorcycles originate from Taiwan. I remember my first SYM bike purchased a few years ago was a lightweight scooter model, which was super practical for daily commuting. Taiwan's manufacturing industry is quite strong, and the SYM brand started in the 1950s as a local established enterprise. Initially, it even had technical collaborations with Honda, and now it has developed into a globally popular brand. It's quite common in Asian countries like Thailand and Vietnam, and even sold in some European countries due to its reliable quality and affordability. Long-time riders like me appreciate its simple design, low maintenance, and especially the durability of its engine, which rarely has issues. If a beginner asks me for motorcycle recommendations, SYM is definitely on the top of my list. After all, it started in Taiwan and has built a solid reputation and experience, making it trustworthy. However, when buying a bike, it's best to compare different models to ensure it suits your riding conditions.
