I've seen a lot of these 50cc scooters (Honda? Yamaha?) running around. I assume most of these are Japanese imports (2nd hand?). Does anyone know where to buy them? And how much would they cost, roughly?

I think its a Chinese scooter.

There are a few small shops starting up selling some of the Chinese bikes/scooters around the Bangna area,I'll take a look tomorrow.

I have a Sym Drone 155cc only 4 yrs old. The engine is from Sym usually a good engine and reliable. However there built in Thailand and the qality is shocking. the panels around the front sides are paper thin and easily crack, try to remove them and they crack more. The keyless ignition failed so i could not start the bike or lift the seat and because its electronic you either have to buy the full ignition or convert it to a key both expensive as you have to replace both barrel locks. The worse quality fail was the inspection covers on the brake reservoirs seals failed leaking all the brake fluid over th front panels lifting all the paint off, the plastic inspection covers melted and detatched completly. So if anyone is thinking of buying a Sym Drone my advice is don't.
