Welcome to Greece! - SYM ADX 125 Cannonball - Day 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2024
- Only had 36 hours at my disposal to cover 1500km to go to Greece/Thessaloniki to meet the winner of the Chigee AIO-5 Play and hand him his prize. So what better vehicle to take for such a cannonball style ride then the ADX 125. A proper test of endurance long distance riding for the ADX 125, will it pass with flying colors?

I turned 70 years old this week and still ride. Got tired of the big bikes and all the weight...so last year bought a PCX 150 and ride the daylights out of it. Been watching you and Quasi for a while. Like I told you before...YOUR personality is what sells the videos! I do love watching...Take care and be safe.
Thank you for the high praise and glad you enjoy the videos 😁
@@RideWithAlex It’s true you do have a great personality. how much do you pay per gallon or liter over there?
Welcome to Greece my friend, I hope next time you can spend more time here, so you can explore the region. Now regarding to the speed signs, if it says 80, we can go at least 120 😂😂. That's the Wright way to drive here in Greece
I will have to do a little tour of Greece 😁
great ride! and the machine is fantastic! have a great time. best regards!
Thank you!
Cool ride Alex...Looking forward to next part already 🙂
Second part will be out on Saturday 😁 (spoiler aler: I test the fuel range and almost run it out of fuel)
In a previous video, you said they have David as an adx160 in Asia. If Sym sold it in the USA as the Adx 160 version, it would go head-to-head with the Honda Adv 160. Great video
Search Google for the SYM Husky 150 (it's the same scooter as the one in this video only with an extra 3 bhp and 3 Nm) only available in Asia.
You ARE famous my friend! Just wanted to let you know I bought a new 2024 Yamaha Xmax. Not many miles yet but nice machine.
Looking forward to you and Quadi next summer. 😎
Congrats on the purchase and next year it will be the adventure of a lifetime.
David looks very excited! Have a nice trip, Alex!
Thank you! 😁
Great video (as always) and awesome ride! That ADX = 😍
Thanks! 😁
I’m about to go to work so I’ll watch later. This looks fun. The scooter looks cool.
Brilliant upload Alex!
Thank you!
I really enjoyed the video, we need to be in Schengen asap. it hurts to see the huge queues which are not only affecting our economies but our vacations as well. The adx runs beautifully, thanks for sharing the ride. 🇹🇩🏅🙏
Hopefully soon we will be 😁
Beautiful country! Awesome place to ride!
Great video. Loved it.
Shine on
Thank you!
Lets go Alex.. awesome trip. Come to Portugal
Sweet! I'd love to go overseas one day and do a cannonball run style trip. I just completed the US NYC to CA cannbonball run with my honda grom and japanese mini truck
That sounds awesome
It’s 1 o’clock”ish” in the afternoon, (your time?), 602 kilometers to go, riding a 125 cc Sym, ETA 11:01 p.m., tenting, yeah it sounds perfectly nuts to me, (I’m in too)?!👍🏻 You’ve got the right attitude, your adventure far exceeds those who have everything at their disposal in RV’s, good for you! Be safe. Best, Rola (Oregon / USA).
I left at 14:30 and arrived at 23:30 ish. And thank you, I always like the minimalist approach, more nature and left comfort.
Send the Donnie in Times Square.I want to see that beast touch that place.
Amazing view.
Hmmmm🤔
Hi, you are amazing, what was the route through Bulgaria, via Veliko Tarnovo or Pevna? Looking forward for ep 2
Ruse - Veliko Tarnovo - Stara Zagora - Haskovo - Border Crossing Makaza (BG) - Nymphaia (GR)
In my experience, people like the channels of other people that they would choose as friends. I recall my youth when I had friends with whom I would just hang out. We would tinker with the bikes and drink tea or something a little stronger and just enjoy the company. That’s what my favourite channels feel like to me.
I've noticed that I've gathered on this channel a lot of liked minded people and I love it! 😁
Salutare dl. Barbu .. super plimbare 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oare poti atasa un linc ceva de unde pot cumpara un tempomat pt al meu Cruisym ?
Stima
Great video, really enjoyed it.
Thank you!
Hi Alex,
At the OMV fuel station you said "Super 100+, oh, hell no", and went for the 95 :). I guess the main two reason are the price and the fact that the scooter will run just as fine with 95 octanes.
Being a 125cc rider myself (a Chinese scooter), I'm wondering - in long term, does it matter if I use 95 or 98 or 100 octanes? I didn't really notice any performance difference, the acceleration and the top speed are pretty much the same with any fuel. But is higher octane value better in any way for keeping the engine "healthy" in the long run?
Thanks :)
The octane rating of fuel refers to the fuels ability to resist detonation. When the piston compresses the mixture inside the cylinder, your fuel must be stable enough not to auto-ignite and to wait to be ignited by the spark plug at the right moment. If you run a high performance engine with very high compression (like say a yamaha R1 with 200+bhp from 1000cc) then you need the 100 octane fuel because 95 might detonate and damage your engine. But in this and every regular scooter it will rung just fine on 95, some will even run just fine on 93 or 90 (if you cand find it anywhere). So putting 100 octane into a vehicle that doesn't require it all you're doing is paying more for your fuel and getting nothing in return.
@@RideWithAlex Understood, thanks a lot for the explanation :)
Great video! Keep em coming :)
Saturday the second part goes live 😁
Great video, great scooter! Which mount did you choose for your smartphone? 📱
I used the Quadlock handlebar mount with the vibration damper.
Glad you took the ADX dude, great for endurance that bike :). also, is that windshield an optional extra or an aftermarket item as my stock one is smaller?
It a bit larger then the stock screen, it's a factory upgrade. The dealer you bought your scooter from should know where to order one.
Top one thank you.
Hello Alex, once again a great video. After watching some of your road trip videos with the ADX 125, I feel encouraged to have bought the ADX 125.
It only took me 2 days to get the first service done. ADX 125 is a great scooter. Where did you order the Touring Wind shield? Best regards 😉👍
We have it at the dealership. Ask your local dealer or search aliexpress. Also if you wait givi is coming out with a windscreen and a luggage rack for the ADX.
Salut Alex, tocmai am făcut și eu orele de B 125 și în sfârșit îmi conduc și eu ADX-ul...am auzit ca ai spus și tu ceva în video de tremurat...eu ma gândeam poate ca nu e perfect echilibrata roata față, ma gândeam sa ii sun pe cei de la showroom...deci e o problema a lor ?...ca roata mica nu cred ca e problema...pentru ca am mers pe vespa pana acum pe roata de 12 și nu am simțit nici un tremurat niciodată, deci la adx simți și tu un tremurat în ghidon sau o mica vibrație?
Toate scuterele au asa ceva, din cauza rigiditatii cadrului și ca nu ai o țeavă de la partea superioara a jugului către roata spate (nu se formează acel triunghi) la adx cred ca mai e dat și de profilul anvelopei, dar se simte doar dacă iei mâinile de pe ghidon la viteze de 40-60. Pe autostrada puteam fără probleme sa iau mâinile de pe ghidon.
@@RideWithAlex aaa..ok..înseamnă că la mine e altceva...eu simt vibrații în ghidon în mers ca și cum ar fi roata față descentrata puțin ...cu mâinile pe ghidon...mulțumesc de răspuns...și felicitări pentru super excursie 🤗
I was planning to ride through "the shit show" on a 650cc sport tourer in the last weekend of the summer holiday, on my way to Thassos. But after seeing your footage... man, I feel discouraged. How do you think your crossing would've worked out if you were on a full size motorcycle ?
Probably 5 minutes slower, just push your way to the front. Even in a car it's like a 1 hour wait it's not all that bad
beautiful ride, greetings from Malaysia. the SYM Husky 150 is currently a hot sale, but people here worried about after sales because SYM is not as good as Yamaha and Honda which these two dominate the market.
and i just found out SYM also making Husky 200i with injection.
Hello Alex!
Great video as always.😊
The ADX seems to be a cool little machine. Is this still the factory windscreen? How was that on such distance? Did you use your ear plugs?
Be bad!😊 Cheers!😊
The windscreen is and OEM upgraded windscreen, I didn't use any ear plugs at the speed the adx goes I was ok with just a helmet. The scoot was comfortable long distance, had no pains after many hours in the saddle.
Usually adv riders salute us. Especially honda. Btw Alex, what was the real stable top speed(gps based) ? Thanks.
About 95-100km/h gps speed.
Great bike! What phone holder are you using?
Quadlock handlebar mount with vibration damper
very, very nice video .... ❤
Thank you! 😁
Hey Alex, greetings from Greece! I always enjoy your videos especially the ones includes adx! I would like to ask you where did you get the windshield for adx? Have safe roads my friend!
We have it at the dealership. Ask your local dealer or search aliexpress. Also if you wait givi is coming out with a windscreen and a luggage rack for the ADX.
@@RideWithAlexthanks a lot! Safe roads my friend!
I'm about to buy my first scooter, I'm torn between the SYM Jet X 125 and the SYM ADX 125. Which would you say was better?
The ADX by far
Hi awesome ride 💪 why you are not ridding on zontes e350 to Greece ? Greetings form Athens
It was on loan to someone else plus I wanted to cannonball the ADX and see what it's made off 😎
What speed would you say is a comfortable cruise speed...so as to not torture the bike?
55 to 60mph.
About 95-100km/h that's where it's happy
I love how you say zero bull…definitely one of my favourite bloggers. Thank you Alex👍
@@Xoxox-q5e silly boy
@@Xoxox-q5ethat's not a very nice way to talk about your dad like that😂
Ciao, Symphony st 200 ore adx 125 for Naples?
Just for inside the city, symphony if you also plan long trips the ADX
hy alex, on 13-16 sept. we make a trip from constanta to istanbul , we will be around 10 motorcycles if you want to come.we will be 2 scooters , me with 350e and one bmw 400 gt
Unfortunately I don't have any more days off, I'm saving them for next year plus I have a wedding to attend in September and a Baptism so money is kind of tight at the moment :))
Bulgarian here. It is unwritten rule to wave at other bikers but the scooters are sometimes not considered as motorcycle by the motorcycle purists, that is why they don't wave at you.. Probably thinking you are some kind of delivery rider or something on that nature with the short sleeves.
I know, I just make fun of it, I'm not too but hurt if I don't get a wave back :))
Im thinking of getting a maxsym 400, the 2024 gt model. As it's gonna be my first scooter, would you propose something different because im thinking of going on adventures like you are.
I chose the zontes 350E this spring to add to my fleet, for me it's more comfortable than the maxsym 400 but that is also a good option next month I will do a build on the maxsym 400 to prepare it for long trips for a friend.
@RideWithAlex Thank you very much. Then i will be waiting for that and then decide on what to do because there are some more options available here, like the qjmotor fortress 350 and the cruisym 300.
Hello alex, which case are you actually using?
The older Givi B43. Now you can get the updated version B45+
Which is better? Sym ADX125 or Honda SH125i ?
One is a touring scooter the other a city scooter, which one is better for what?
@@RideWithAlex I was just thinking which one would be better to buy. I like both, honda for reputation, and step through, and the Sym for it's long distance and offroad ability. Maybe I need both! Yes I think touring ability might be better, thanks.
Super faină experiența :) Cu 50cc mai postezi? Mie mi-au placut mult clipurile cu primul scooter. Stiu ca l-ai vândut, dar poate mai faci un "roadtrip" cu un Revo50 sau ceva Sym de 50cc. Faptul ca au motor mic si "nu poti ajunge nicăieri cu ele" si ca nu tin pasul cu traficul, cred ca e principalul motiv pentru care in oras oamenii nu trec de la masina la moped. Poate ar fi fain sa demontezi miturile sau cel putin sa explici cam care e capabilitatea unui scooter de 50cc. La 125cc ai demonstrat clar, la fel si la 200cc :))) idk... Poate sunt eu ciudat si imi plac chichinetele de 50 :)))
Eu am mers recent cu un Gilera Runner SP LC 2006 cu set chinezesc de 70 un traseu din Bucuresti pe Dn71 pana la Transbucegi cu intoarcere pe DN1. 295km intr-o zi de la 8 dimneata pana la 18:30 cu opriri si masa. 50km/h in localitati in afara cam 70 desi mergea blana pana la 85. Deci se poate:).A tras bine.
@@danalexanghel era super fain daca documentai toata plimbarea :))) super fain
Momentan nu mai am nici un 50 al meu cu care sa fac nebunii, dar dacă apare ocazia pe viitor sigur nu zic nu :))
Красавчик!

Sym jet evo 2024 review plz;
It's filmed, and available to members. On the 21st of August the video will be public for everyone 😁
Did you buy an adx 125? Asking since you named it David :).
No. Its just a dealership scooter. Don't forget Alex is a sym dealer
Not yet but I have first dibs on it next summer when it might be up for sale, until then I can ride it when I want.
I work for the dealership in the spare parts department, I don't own the dealership. 😉
@@RideWithAlex i know you work for Sym. But when I heard you name it David, I thought you adopted another family member next to Donny.
Anyway, keep up the great work.
Fun Fact: Attila just bought the adx, and he says he’s happy with it
Giurgiu? Romania?
Yes
@@RideWithAlex hello from Baia Mare ! ✌️
Salut! Dacă aș avea unde să-i fac reviziile l-aș lua în considerare. Locuiesc în Craiova. Superba muncă faci pt noi și îți mulțumesc.✌🏻
Ai și de unde sa îl cumperi de la tine din oraș, vezi pe site la Sym România la secțiunea contact exista lista de dealeri din tara, exista dealer oficial Sym în Craiova. Are tot suportul nostru de la București pe tot ce înseamnă piese, accesorii, documentație tehnica, etc.
@@RideWithAlex multumesc mult pt informatii 🤗
👍💪
Nobody waves at 125, especially scooters :))
Slovakia 3700eur in year 2023 this time 3800eur i have turquoise this time 4500km
Last service 100eur with tyre change. Chinese FULDA to Michelin CITY GRIP 2 ony tyre 100eur
Hey Alex dont call Veliko Tutnovo just Veliko which means "Great" in bulgarian. Call it Turnovo because it strange otherwise. Veliko Turnovo = Great Turnovo
New thing learned. In Romania it's comon to say "let's go to Veliko" and everyone knows what you're talking about, I had no ideea what "veliko" meant :))

Mersi de feedback 😁
why is the border crossing so delayed between two eu countries which are also part of the schengen also why are there checkings if the purpose is for free movement?
Romania and Bulgaria are not part of Schengen with their terrestrial borders yet because Austria is vetting. We both should veto any upcoming vote that involves Austrian interests. 🇹🇩🇧🇬🙏
@@SoferAmator I thought both Romania and Bulgaria officially entered the schengen this year
@@dab7805 Bulgaria and Romania are officially in Shengen but only with naval and aerial borders. The roads border passing are still subject of mandatory border checking!
May have been later in the afternoon, now that I think about it? (Math was not my strong suit).🫤😆
