    Like the colour and storage under seat. Rev and go ... just like my AT shag .

      Yes. You do love a Rev and rip.

    PLEASE: rather than saying "you'd probably get a full face helmet in there" why not actually try fitting one! The under seat storage is one of the most important features for the average buyer. I just don't understand why you would review a scooter and not simply demonstrate this. I realise helmets are different sizes but at least we would get a rough idea. Thank you.

      It has been said before. All of my future and newer scooter reviews include this info. 👍

      @@GillyBikes I appreciate that. But if you want to do a proper review of any motorcycle, at the bare minimum we need to know the seat height and whether it is easy to flat foot, power, USB ports and where they are located, real fuel consumption and most important - top speed on an A road. A lot of this info is hard to come by on many "official" dealer sites. I'm certain your channel would have more hits if you did more thorough reviews. The average buyer needs to know as much as possible as there are so many new scooters around and they all have individual quirks.

    What is the fuel consumption on this bike i can only do 70-100km the range on a full tank i weigh 90kg and put on a food delivery back on a rack attached so j guess thats normal even after serviced?

    • @GillyBikes
      @GillyBikes  ปีที่แล้ว

      This does between 80-100 miles per gallon. It holds just over 1 gallon so should get over 130km on a full tank.

      @@GillyBikesokay thanks i am guessing this is the sym orbit 3 the latest model i found out eventually by testing my sym orbit 2 125 can travel 153km before eventually nearly running out of the fuel but it the fuel gauge says its already empty when i reach 100km thats why j got confused

      @Álvaro Sánchez I've done some "research."I think the rollers have to be 18x14 10.1g and the DRIVE BELT 818X19.7X28. Once again, that's for SYM Mask 125cc E4 .

    I have one exactly same as in video.
    Will a full face fit under seat YES its got to be positioned just right .
    Top speed about 55mph .
    Fuel consumption very good .
    Low down torque is very good so getting through traffic is very easy .
    Will start fist press in any weather even in temperatures in the minuses in winter.
    Never uses a drop of oil ever .
    My big issue is the suspension it is horrific and with a bad back it's the only thing that's making Me want to change it .
    I use it on a 12 mile each way commute on 30mph and 60 mph roads it does just fine

    Hi mate, have you charged gear oil yet? I've done mine with the pilots recommended in the manual 85w-140 , but it seems noisy then before and a bit sluggish. The scooter I bought is almost new ( bought it from FB Market) but I don't know exactly what the bloke has used before. What do you think about using 80w-90, as most of the 4T 125cc scooters out there?

    • @GillyBikes
      @GillyBikes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If I change anything I always stick to the bikes manual. But I’ve never changed the oil myself. I’ve always let the dealers do it as part of the yearly service.

    Any good for a 6 footer? Looking for a cheap runabout and to commute to work. Just passed my cbt on a 50cc.

    • @GillyBikes
      @GillyBikes  ปีที่แล้ว

      This would be fine. The seats are quite tall. But 50cc can be a bit limiting when it comes to speed. If you’re happy with 30mph then this is a good option. If it was me though I would get a 125. On the new price I’m sure there is only a small difference in price.

      @@GillyBikes what I meant was that I passed my CBT on a 50cc scooter and I'm looking at buying the 125cc in this video as my first bike. Local motorcycle dealership has it in at a really good price. I noticed riding the 50cc while doing the road part on my CBT it was really underpowered and would slow to like 15mph on some of the steep hills in my area. 125 will be perfect for me.
