Hi Alex, encouraged by your channel for a certain part, but also seeing that almost all "rent a bike"-s in Greece are Syms, bought myself a 2012 Symphony 125S. Three weeks ago made the 1450km trip from Tolna (Hungary) to Corfu (Greece) through Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania avoiding highways. I split the distance in 4 parts, stopping at Sarajevo, Cetinje, Durres, and finally Igoumenitsa (Corfu ferry). The little scooter worked well, my only complaint was the little fuel tank allowing not more than 4,5 liter refuelling at petrol stations. I had to learn too (almost the hard way), that it is better to refuel at 3 stripes of the fuel gauge than let it quickly run out below that. Greetings to all Sym fans! I will be soon 75 years old
Sounds like an awesome experience! I'm currently riding a Chinese Mustang XRS 125cc, and its fuel autonomy is less than 100 km. A few days ago I bought a 5-liter fuel can, just to be sure I won't stop in the middle of nowhere. I'm not really riding that long distances yet, but even planning a 150km trip is tricky with this fuel tank...
Next time you come to Greece make sure you visit Pireas . I would gladly have you stay at my house for the weekend and make some small tours around with our Adx's. After all you were the reason i bought this bike the first time 😅 .Also you will certainly feel like home . Wife's Romanian too and we watch your videos together. Have fun dude and keep it up!❤
Hi Alex, Ευχαριστώ for this wonderful trip to Greece ! Nice landscapes showing the beauties of Balkans , good advices for ridding on long trips and a real demonstration on how to be fuel efficient in traveling on a scooter. I always enjoyed your trips and I'm appreciating yours genuine & live comments while riding ! For me it was a pleasure to watch these 2 days of your training for Cannonball tour ! Best regards to you and to all your viewers !
Thank you, although short it was a wonderfull trip and I did realize I still have a lot of areas close to home to visit, the Balkans are absolutely gorgeous!
Hey Alex i'm the guy with the euro4 Symphony. It was our honor to meet you too. I wish you to have the chance to visit us again in the future if not Thessaloniki then generally to Greece in order to explore other places. Wish you nice and safe future trips!
It was an honor to meet you and chat, as for Greece I will defenetly return and explore more of the country on a proper multi day road trip, now that I know I can sleep on the beach and travel cheaply 😁
Been waiting for this video, checking a few times everyday to see if you’ve uploaded it. And when you do, you start it off with a naked in tent shot! 😂 love it!😂
So much fun to watch this. I got this scooter recently to tour in Greece. Hope you come back and visit Lefkada and I’ll join up next time.

Great ride! I broke my record last week... My wife and I, (and a 47L full suitcase) with 5.1 liters traveled 231 kilometers, which turns out to be 2.2L/100km. The scooter is a Piaggio Medley 150, and now has 44,000 km Regards from Croatia 🥳🍺
Hello there Alex! Excellent video, beautiful scenary.😊 (one drink down😅) If I might say at 52:54 the automatic screen dimming is amazing. Starting to like this ADX 125.😊 Be bad as always. Cheers.
Super faina aventura! ... Ca sa nu mai spun ca ai si voce, ai cantat foarte bine! 😀 Asfalt uscat in continuare, si cat mai multe astfel de calatorii ! Salutare!
OMG yes?! The late start, the sand in the shoes & everywhere else? Being partially stuck, the get there “itis”, forcing oneself to take a minute to enjoy a view, (brings back all kinds of memories). ”Range anxiety” also brings back all kinds of memories which is why nowadays I ALWAYS make the extra stop & pay the extra price to get rid of those feelings?!😆Still it’s fun hearing you “roll the dice” & push on, (better you than me)?🫣 Great ride! Carry on. Best, Rola (Oregon / USA).👍🏻
Wow👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾what a ride. 👌🏾 This video makes me wanna buy me that scooter. It"s also a dream of mine to ride with my kids and do a similar trip round Europa. But here in the Netherland we must have an A1 license before we can ride a light 125cc motorcycle or scooter. So therefore I will start next week to get my A1 license. And than buy me that scooter. Great video and again, what a ride that was 👌🏾. Yep. I'm convinced 👍🏾. ❤&✌🏾 to all of you. Happy riding.
Love your attitude Alex. Scooters are perfect for touring if you have the right attitude. You certainly prove that. I have a motorcycle and scooter and tour on both. I get nervous watching you doing long distances with bare arms. Well done and keep it up.
The gear thing is a personal choice, I don't recommend it to anyone, we each make our own decisions about life. I always recommend people wear full gear but if they don't it's their choice and I don't blame them for it 😁 everyone ride their own ride.

Hi Alex, thanks very much for all of your very enjoyable long videos. I live in the UK and am fortunate to have an excellent Sym and Kymco dealer about 1 mile from my home. I am seriously considering buying either a new Sym ADX 125 or a Kymco X Town 125. They are very similar bikes, and I would value you opinion on which of these is best to buy. The off road benefits of the Sym-versus the extra 3 bhp with the Kymco. I look forward to your opinion, based on your extensive experience with both makes. I subscribe to and enjoy and look forward to all of your adventures. Thanks!
The rear suspension of the ADX is something you have to try for yourself to understand how comfortable it is and how well it handles the bumps. Go test ride and ADX and then test ride the kymco :)
Hey Alex, nice clip as usual! I am planning a long ride with my adx and that windshield David wears proudly would be great for me as well. Can you be so kind as to provide the source?
The windscreen is a factory option 59cm tall windshield, you should ask your dealer for it if they can help you out or email sites like easyparts.com or search aliexpress.
Nothing like range anxiety to keep you sharp on a long long drive. I used to have to drive from Cambridge to Newcastle, work and then back on one tank full! A number of times I took the range into negative territory! Hard to fall asleep with a range value of zero with ten miles to go. 😂
puteai sa folosesti una din sticlele alea din plastic sa le bagi sub piciorus, pentru a intoarce scooterul, ca piciorusul sa nu se duca adanc in nisip =)
I was thinking in overall. Honestly i didn't thowght that it was possible to do a long trip on a 125 cc but after i saw your videos i started questioning myself.
If you ever come to Serbia, announce it in advance, I'd like to meet & greet you in Belgrade, and maybe to give you a tour through the city. Just make sure to come on a 125cc scooter, so I can catch up with you :)
Salutare e prima dată când te urmăresc și, drept să-ți spun, m-a cam surprins călătoria ta. Cu scuterul. Până în Grecia. Și asta m-a făcut să mă întreb, fiindcă se pare ca ești un om “cu greutate”, cam ca și mine😀: cum se descurcă scuterul cu un om ca mine de 110 kg?
Mereu uit ca nu mai am 20 de ani și asa dimineața înainte sa fac efort trebuie sa fac putina încălzire ca altfel stau 10 minute sa ma chinui sa îmi trag sufletul 😂😂😂😂
if you are still there, i can make you a offer, come to serres is a good city with a lot of green and tries, and i will give you food a lot of stories and we can make a little off road to ur mountain Lailias!
I'm speechless about the eco return run. This guys that say 125s and 300s belong to the city are snobs.. My own brother is the same, he refuses to ride under 1200cc bike.
Riden right this thing can cover ground decently fast and very economical. Riding small displacement long distance is not for everyone, but those who like it, will always take a 125 on a road trip now and then no matter what big bikes they end up getting 😁
În about 2 weeks I will have a video on everything I use to record my videos. Short answer for the helmet I have a Gopro hero 7 black with a rode smart lav plus mic

It was very enjoyable 😁
Foarte mișto clipurile, m am uitat cu plăcere câteva ore. Să mai postezi:) cred că o să îmi iau și eu un scuter, mă gândeam la Honda Forza 125.

Thank you 😁
Great trip, man. What's that app for consumption? 1:13:43
It's spritmonitor.de
OK, I must know why the shower at the borders? Is it to get the dust off?

Have a nice trip, I follow you with pleasure, I bought the same motorcycle.
What is the tire pressure of the motorcycle you use? (From Turkey)
I used 2.0 bar front and 2.4 bar rear

Thank you, glad you enjoy them 😁
Hallo ex. Does this sym has a cruise control how do tou drive with hands aout from steering??? +
I have a throttle lock from aliexpress on all my scooters.

Objectively for traveling the adx is superior to any 125 scooter I have tested.
how many rpms has at 100..you think is bad for the engine to keep this speed for long?
About 7500rpm and the engine can handle it no problem.
Very good average consumption of 2.34 liters! 🤩 What speed do you normally drive on country roads/motorways?
About 90-100 km/h

Alex, which windscreen are u using? is good for travels?
It's the SYM optional taller windscreen at 59cm. I liked it on this trip, wind only on my helmet.
