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?

Fantastic, love the 125 trips 🤩

@redsorgum Год назад

Another excellent road trip. My Buddy Kick has fuel injection, so it can handle the higher altitude. The Don is a beast. 👏🇺🇸🇷🇴👏

@RideWithAlex Год назад

It's not the first time he's been at high altitude, you can feel a bit of power loss but not much.

@mic03chael 8 месяцев назад

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.

@oskarbrylewski1615 Год назад

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.

I found my Final Drive Ratio of my Jet X 200.Is quite high,which means is good for accleration. It has 10.396 Final Drive Ratio.I think same for your SYM.Thats why it consumes 3L I think. I will try to change to make it even like accleration and top speed or more for top speed,so I should lower it

@EndritBs Месяц назад

Xmax 250 has 9.5 ratio,thats why I cruise at lower rpms.These SYMs are good for accleration,but I do not need.I need balance.

Interesant faptul ca, desi au aceeasi capacitate, producatorul a pus cai putere diferiti. O regleaza din soft?

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

@RideWithAlex 5 месяцев назад

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.

@alexkolushev514 4 месяца назад

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?

@RideWithAlex 4 месяца назад

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.

@christophersherratt7299 5 месяцев назад

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

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.

@RideWithAlex Год назад

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.

@dirkhuman760 Год назад

Awesome! I want a Symphony but they only sell the Jet 14 200 here. :(

"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 🙂

@RideWithAlex 7 месяцев назад

That's interesting, I think I should visit them at some point :D

@gattonpc 7 месяцев назад

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...:))

@ap-qj8qc Год назад

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 .

@RideWithAlex Год назад

Yes, i do feel some power loss above 1500m but that's normal.
