Kawasaki Motors South Africa’s task of reconciling, paying for and physically taking control of all stock of SYM motorcycles, scooters, spares and accessories from the previous importers has been completed and the high-quality Taiwanese products are now available to the public through 38 KMSA dealers nationally.  The scooter model range extends from useful 125 and 150cc commuters to the powerful executive class GTS300i Evo that can cruise comfortably between suburb and city at the national 120 km/h speed limit. Two high-quality 125cc motorcycles complete the line-up.

The SYM brand was previously managed in South Africa, first by Honda motorcycle importers Midmacor in the 1990s, and later by the official Suzuki motorcycle importers, Motana South Africa (Pty) Ltd.  Midmacor and Motana each in turn withdrew from the motorcycle trade and relinquished the SYM brand when Japanese parent companies Honda and later Suzuki took over distribution of their own motorcycles and scooters in South Africa.      

SYM is not one of the numerous small manufacturers that have flooded South Africa with often inferior two-wheeled product over the past decade. SYM was awarded the Best Brand title for scooters in Germany in 2011, and was also the best-selling scooter in Greece that year. Parent company Sanyang Industry Company Limited was founded in 1954 and within a decade became the first motorcycle manufacturer in Taiwan when it entered into a joint venture with Honda to build the Japanese machines in that country. SYM eventually commenced manufacturing Honda and later Hyundai cars in Taiwan and is still today the only manufacturer to produce both cars and motorcycles there. Sanyang (SYM) today turns over $1 billion a year building a million two wheelers and 35 000 cars annually. The company has won numerous product excellence as well as environmental consideration awards and their locally built Hyundai vehicles won Taiwanese Car of the Year awards in four categories in 2013. Sanyang has also built buses for the Asian market and civilian mini trucks as well as military tactical trucks for the Taiwanese national defence force. 

SYM products offer superb quality at reasonable prices, with the model range kicking off at R12 495 (inclusive) for the XS125-K motorcycle and topping out at a very reasonable R 39 995 for the 29 horsepower GTS300i Evo maxi-scooter.  All SYM products distributed by KMSA come with two-year / unlimited distance warranties. 

KMSA Distributors are the the sole importer of Kawasaki, Triumph, & AEON ATV’s, as well as Aprilia and Moto Guzzi motorcycles in South Africa. Associated Motor Holdings, a subsidiary of the Imperial Group, is KMSA’s majority shareholder with the balance of ownership being held by KMSA management.

Tricolour, gold and that Number 1, the fairings of the campionissimo evoke the exhilarating world of racing and the atmosphere of the tracks where the legend of the unbeatable MV Agusta Grand Prix bikes was born.

“These bikes made Giacomo Agostini a motorcycling legend and have now re-emerged from the past thanks to the most spectacular MV Agusta ever, the F3 800 AGO, packed with unsurpassed technology that provides jaw-dropping performance and unparalleled riding pleasure.”  Said Craig Langton Dealer Principle MV Agusta SA a division of the Cayenne Group. “We will be receiving 2 of these famous units arriving next month.”

Electronic engine and traction control play a pivotal role, ensuring the F3 800 AGO delivers tip-top performance at all times. Practical handlebar controls let the rider choose from among three different pre-set power delivery modes. And those hungry for more personalised performance will be delighted to hear that the F3 800 AGO allows configuration of the control parameters, including the traction control settings.

Thanks to the MVICS (Motor &Vehicle Integrated Control System), the rider has absolute control over the set-up process and can thus truly benefit from the exceptional versatility that brings out the technical qualities of the bike whatever the riding conditions, on the road and racetrack alike. Like a real racing bike, the F3 800 AGO even lets the rider choose - together with a host of other parameters the ratio between throttle twist and throttle body opening. 

Performance and safety go hand-in-hand even on the racetrack, which is why the F3 800 AGO features the sophisticated ABS Bosch 9MP with Race Mode and the RLM system, which prevents the rear wheel from lifting off the asphalt under hard braking. Awesome deceleration is ensured by a top-notch braking system, which features two 320 mm front discs, radially mounted Brembo monobloc 4-piston calliper’s and a 220 mm rear disc. The light, compact ABS system prevents any unwanted and potentially dangerous wheel lock while simultaneously ensuring the shortest possible braking distances under critical riding conditions (e.g. hard braking in the wet). 

Perfection is included in every detail, the alloy foot pegs, machined from solid aluminium, and other aluminium items make the F3 800 AGO a stunning example of function-focussed exclusivity. Every single component is carefully designed to make this MV Agusta even harder-hitting, faster and more sensational on road and track than ever.

The use of carbon fibre on the front and rear fenders gives the F3 800 AGO real racing panache, making the bike even lighter and enhancing the already excellent power-to-weight ratio. Another key contribution comes from the gorgeous forged rims, which save a full 2 kilograms compared to the standard version. A sports-style plate holder emphasises the flowing lines of the tail, underlining its thoroughbred racing pedigree.

“The F3 800 AGO is unique in every detail.” “A silver plaque attached to the steering yoke shows a progressive number certifying that the F3 800 AGO is one of MV Agusta's most exclusive creations. Only a limited edition of 300 such bikes will be manufactured and on each one the fuel tank will carry the personal autograph of 15-times world champion Giacomo Agostini.” said Cayenne’s Craig Langton.

A tangible thrill, then, for MV Agusta devotees and fans of the world's greatest-ever motorcyclist, to be experienced, quite literally, every time they sit astride the bike. Lastly, each of these incomparable bikes will be delivered together with a special certificate signed by Giacomo Agostini himself, providing additional proof of the uniqueness and originality of this latest MV Agusta legend.
