SYM 125cc Road Trip - Day 1

- To let of some steam the SYM Romania team decided to go on a weekend road trip. Somehow I managed to convince everyone in the showroom to jump on 125cc machines and hit the road. I was in charge of the road so of course we had to take two of Romania's highest and most challenging roads, the Transfagarasan and the Transalpina to really put the little 12 bhp machines to the ultimate test. Will they make it on this epic 800km 2 day road trip?

As a romanian, I've never been on Transfăgărășan 😂 but I will try to make it on 2 wheels the first time i get there 😉. Thanks for the ride!
You have to see it and the Transalpina
You have given me a new love of my ST200. I was planning on selling it a few months ago but will now keep it - I thought I was stupid to be riding it a long way, but now I embrace it.
Go for it, it can handle much more than you think possible
Fantastic, love the 125 trips 🤩
Only the second video I watched on this channel and you get a sub from Istanbul! I enjoy your narration. Look me up next time you are riding in Turkey brother 🤟🏼
Thank you :D
Another excellent road trip. My Buddy Kick has fuel injection, so it can handle the higher altitude. The Don is a beast. 👏🇺🇸🇷🇴👏
It's not the first time he's been at high altitude, you can feel a bit of power loss but not much.
Привет! Очень благодарен тебе за обзор про SYM adx ! Пришёл мой чёрный adx , ловлю внимательные взгляды людей и туристы всегда фотографируются рядом с ним !!! Отличный скутер очень удобный и управляемый ! Спасибо , это и твоя заслуга !!!
Superb job! Amazing country! On my bucket list to visit, beautiful!
Thank you 😁
Love the Narration, will be picking up my Kymco X-town 300i ABS soon. I will avoid Bears! Keep up the Good Work :) Cape Cod USA
Thank you and enjoy the X-town it's a good scooter capable of city riding and long distance touring! :D
Great trip! you have convinced me that buying a small scooter isn't a bad idea. I love the ability to weave through the traffic easily.
Love this! I've just brought a 2008 Suzuki UH Burgman 125 and hoping to take it to the sea side this weekend! Definitely feeling more confident watching your video and seeing you go that far, subscribed!
Good luck and have fun. Yea 125's can go as far as you want to.
Cracking vid, love your commentary !!
Thank you! 😁
Excellent ride. Respect for 125cc machines
I will call my future scooter Donkey😁. Great ride, funny comments!
Weinig mensen in West Europa weten dat Roemenie zo n mooi land is. Mooie video weer Alex!
"A scenery you could've flown into, had your brakes failed" 🤣
I have just enrolled a driving school and looking forward to obtain my A1 license and to buy my very first scooter. Today at the Sym dealership in Belgrade I talked to a guy who's working there and he recommended that I watch your channel. So far I am not disappointed 🙂
That's interesting, I think I should visit them at some point :D
Get yourself the A license not A1.. so in the future if you will want to change to a bigger CC scuter/motorcicle.. you do not have to go and take another license exam. Just a recomandation. That way you can ride any scuter/motorcicle you want. and trust me.. eventualy you will want to to ride bigger bikes later. Don't ask how i know...:))
Transfaragasan! Have been there once (by car though). Incomparably stunning there!
🎉 asa da!
Romania is stunninglybeautiful! Would luv to visit one day
It makes for a great road trip country 😁
Excellent video. Now i am sure that a 125cc scooter is able to do some nice long trip.
They sure can :)
At 15:39 all those cars are there because there is a nice hiking path called "Valea lui Stan". It is very nice. It takes you up to the dam.
I did not know that :)
Awesome missed Donnie trips 👏
😁
Nice idea guys.
Thanks 😁
800 kilometers in 2 days is a feat?! Even though it’s 9 months after your ride, we’ve recently had bear attacks as well as people trying to pet buffalos, (you fill in the blanks)?! People are the same here as in Romania. Interesting ride with vendors on the side of the road? Rola (Oregon / USA)
Brilliant...
Thank you. 😁
Nais ❤
Thank you :D
Splendiferous ride ! Corner to corner with flickable scooter is so so nice and easy and fun. It's like the bike flows with the road.
I have a side question for you, as Sym expert.. I currently own a Symphony SR 125 /not ST/ What is the difference besides the cosmetics? It looks a bit sportier to me.
The SR and my 2nd gen ST the frame is completely different, I have the fuel tank in the floor and underseat storage is twice as large.
Interesting episode, full of events & funny commentary about being a bear 🐻 lunch🍴 🍗 🥄 Ha Ha 😆 Ha Ha
:D glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Alex, I see you got steer heating… would you zlso do it with 125cc or is the battery too small!? Nice rides! I have the jet x for a year now… 6500km’s and it s awesome!
Yea, the Oxford heated grips will work just fine on your jet X
Great video. I'm thinking to buy sym cruisym 125 as I really like it's design. It looks amazing. Currently I owned honda Forza but wanted to give a try something different. Do you recommend cruisym? Thanks
The cruisym I recommend it in 300c form but if you can only ride 125cc then yeah, it's an awesome machine. Really comfortable and manuvrable.
There needs to be no parking or double yellow lines that will piss a lot of
sightseers 😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome! I want a Symphony but they only sell the Jet 14 200 here. :(
They are very similar underneath and the engine and transmission is identical to myne.
@@RideWithAlex Half the space under the seat though. I love the space of the Symphony.
@@dirkhuman760 that yes unfortunately but the new jet14 Evo should fix that.
can you give me more info on jet x - how do you compare to symphony 200 ?
is it possible to ask a few questions about Symphony 200 - 1) are there any problems with long trips along the serpentine? what are the signs that you need to stop and let the brakes rest? does it slow down the transmission in any way? 2) What is its real weight? did you have to drag it somewhere over rough terrain? for what points can it be tilted, for example, to be carried over rails? Is it convenient? 3) Has ABS ever worked? at what speeds? How much did it help?
If you pay attention to the scooter you can smell the brakes overheating and you can feel the lever getting soft, that means you are about to run out of brakes.
It has engine brake like any scooter.
Wight is 130kg wet.
ABS works like on any motorcycle in case of an emergency.
Driving at these high altitudes,have you ever noticed any reduce of the power of your donny ?
I had some trips with my st 125 aircooled symphony in altidudes like 1300-1700 metres and i realised that the power was reduced ,because of less air or less oxygen ?i am not sure .
Yes, i do feel some power loss above 1500m but that's normal.
ah, se pare ca a mers cineva cu noul xmax inaintea mea 🥲
what is the stroke length of the front and rear shock absorbers?
I have no ideea
Salut, se poate monta un sistem de franare combinat pe un scooter care nu are ? Cum functioneaza ? Apasand orice maneta se franeaza ambele roti banuiesc. asa ?
E complicat, ai nevoie de un repartitor CBS, trebuie sa cauti piese de la scutere care au deja CBS, recomand sa vb cu un mecanic.
How hard is it to find parts for Sym and Daytona? I want to buy a Revo 50 or Sym 50 and I do not know how easy can you find parts at the dealership or aftermarket after the warranty goes of.
Depends in what country you live, here in Romania we keep a stock of just about any part you could want.
@@RideWithAlex In Romania stau. Se poate vedea, eventual face un test drive la Revo 50 in curtea reprezentantei? Am folosit pana acum un electric si as fi curios sa vad si cum trage un 50 pe benzina. De cateva luni planuiesc achizitia si inca mai trag de timp, osciland intre Revo 50 si a mai amana pentru a lua carnetul de A2.
@@edwardadelin689 trebuie sa vb cu colegii de la vânzări pentru asta, numerele lor sunt pe site. Momentan firma este inchisa săptămâna asta ca suntem in concediu dar de pe 28.08 suntem din nou toti la muncă.
@@RideWithAlex Mersi! Concediu fain! Keep up cu videoclipurile. Faci o treaba super. Le savurez cu drag.
Interesant faptul ca, desi au aceeasi capacitate, producatorul a pus cai putere diferiti. O regleaza din soft?
cele 3 motoare de 125 din clip sunt complet diferite toate 3, nu impart nici o piesa.
I did both of them in 2023 on my 125cc scooter. I was wandering if you will do this again in 2024, can i come too? :)
This was a work trip. I'm currently not planning any organized rides.
Your the man, so sym ADX 125 or lexmoto xdv 125, which you think is better ?
Haven't seen the lexmoto so I can't say anything about it.
Put that on your todos list then, it's £2500, new 😊
@@wiggleswiggles3061 I don't think we have it here in Romania
Wondering if that biker at 31:25 managed to stop before hitting the bear...
Probably
Alex do you ever try getting more speed from the sym 125cc water-cooled engine I think you said the clutch was a 200cc one I think it would get you a lot more subscribers especially as a lot of car drivers can only go 125cc even if you have had a car licence for 30 years even if you have done your CBT speed is speed know matter what you are driving or riding danger is danger comes with old age
I leave it stock for the reliability :)
30,000 km with the rear tire? How is that possible?! 👀
I have a Medley 150 and my tire is completely bald after 10,000 km. 95% of my driving is similar to yours on the open road and at an average speed of 90 km/h
That's how much the Michelin lasted 🤷🏻♂️
@@RideWithAlex The tire of the first factory-installed tire was I think Dunlop, but after that I put only Bridgestone battlax and both last the same. 8-10kkm. 😐 Now I bought Michelin so I will try them too. 💪😎
Este deja în vigoare legea b125?
Întreabă o școală moto pentru ca răspunsul esta "da este în vigoare" dar nu ai norme de aplicare, nu poți face cursul, nu ai voie sa mergi, deci nu, nu e în vigoare.
ce drum e la 54:15?
De la sibiu la Jina, e link cu toata ruta in descriere.
Salut Alex, de ce nu faci și videoclipuri în limba română?? 🤔🤔🤔
Pentru ca acest canal se adreseaza unui public internațional, 97% din vizualizări vin din afara țării.
@politiaromana urmăriți ce face păcăliciul ăsta la minutul 30
🤣🤣🤣 - Vezi ca nu ești pe Facebook, aici nu merge cu @ în comentarii. Sa nu mai zic ca politia română nu are cont de TH-cam 🤣🤣🤣
to much talking
:)))
Dacă nu poți vedea găurile din asfalt din cauza mașinii din fața , stai în plm la distanță. Și cu un videoclip ca asta cu condus agresiv nu faci reclamă nici la scutere nici la locurile vizitate
🤣🤣🤣
Mă muie , depășești un chopper cu un 125 pentru ca ăla tine la viața lui și este în concediu
🤣🤣🤣
No need to speak ALL the time.
:)))
I enjoy the Donnie adventures.. 🛵😁
Sidenote: Did Rattie go too?
Rattie didn't go on this one :))
