After logging 8200 miles on a 2009 SYM 300i scooter, I went to the darkside and bought the GS500F. As a daily commuter on the interstate, the 81 mph WOT on the scooter was just not safe. The 500 is perfect. Good mileage, reserve power, and a very comfortable riding position. The lower profile is also better in the crosswinds. I am 58, have been riding since 08/01/2009, and have completed the basic and advanced MSF courses. I am very pleased with this ride.
