Hey Alex, I had lost your channel some months ago. I'm happy I discovered it again. I am Zambian watching you from Zambia, Africa. Keep on producing this content, we love your work.
Hi Alex, (from Oregon / USA)! Your Kymco AK 550 review is the most thorough I’ve seen! Great job! Thank you for going through all the features, buttons & dynamics of the 550, (you answered a ton of questions). Will take a look @ your other Kymco videos soon, wishing you the very best!
@@RideWithAlex Started watching your other videos on motor scooters we don’t have in the US, (or @ least I haven’t seen them)? You have a gift for providing great information regardless of what you’re reviewing. Thumbs up all ‘round!
Frumos maxi scuter,nimic de zis! Problema este ca putini dintre noi cred ca au buget disponibil pentru el. In alta ordine de idei, tu esti cel datorita caruia mi-am luat scuter( un kymco xtown 300 abs aproape nou). M-au convins video-urile tale cu fel de fel de modele si cilidree prin tot felul de locuri. Te urmaresc de cel putin un an si m-ai inspirat sa fac alegerea asta. Pot sa iti multumesc pt asta. Azi am facut un drum mai lung cu noua mea jucarie, cam 340 km. Locuiesc in Vrancea si in itinerarul de azi am avut si sectorul Lepsa. Pot spune ca,desi temperatura a scazut in ultimii km pana acasa la 12 grade, si am cam inghetat, sunt mega fericit de experienta. Iti doresc toate cele bune, la mai multi abonati si drumuri uscate!
Ma bucur sa aud, acum începe experimentarea cu echipamentul pe diferite temperaturi. După fiecare drum când ți-e un pic frig sau cald vei învață ce iti trebuie sa adaugi sau sa dai jos pentru a ridica nivelul de comfort. Fiecare e diferit deci asta e pentru tine sa descoperi.
Χαίρομαι να βλέπω την κριτική σου γιατί ξέρεις να εκφράζεις την άποψη σου οπως και να την αναλύεις στο τεχνικό κομμάτι. Το Ak είναι ενα εξαιρετικό δικυλινδρο Σκούτερ σε όλους τους τομείς για αυτόν τον λόγο εχει σταθερό αγοραστικό κοινό σε ολο τον κόσμο εδω και χρόνια απο τα προηγούμενα μοντέλα..
Hello Alex! Thorough review, I liked it very much. Could you do such a review of all of the scooters every brand please?😊 That would be awesome! Be bad and do roadtrips, all the best!
I also din not feel it pull untill 70-80km/h more than a well tuned 300-400 cc. Did not expect it to be so easy to drive at 5 km/h ! Very stable in cornering! Good brakes ! Lovely windshield untill 100-110 km/h! Also did not expect it to be so easy at filtering traffic!
Good evening Alex. Always your reviews are nice and you are a cool guy. I have a question please. What about the quality of the plastics and the total quality of the scooter? I have a Forza 350 and I was thinking for something with more horsepower. In terms of quality what do you think about this change? A friend from Greece.
Salutare,super review, mi se pare mie sau ma insel, la minutul 13,15 ,aproximativ, cand l ai pornit si turat un pic scotea fum? Tare mi as dori daca ai putea sa testezi de la Kymco, Downtown GT 350i TCS
La pornire toate scot un pic ca e amestecul de pornire puțin mai bogat și scoate puțin fum negru. Downtown nu stiu daca au la test dar dacă au va urma pe viitor
Marvelous scooter. Seen this clip, have a bad feeling selling my old Grand Dink 250. Why I've got the feeling that you did trip to Sofia for the moto expo there /here/. You did it suspiciously at the same time 😀 .. We will waiting for material from that trip.
Hello.. the previous ak models suffered from all kinds of electronic problems and therefore the reliability is not the highest.. compared to the tmax which has a very high reliability.. do you think the new ak premium model is better than the new tmax 560?
Can you please explain why they say in the specifications that weight for the rider, passenger and other stuff is only 165kg? Is that true? If yes then why? Yamaha Tmax has 196kg , my ADV 350 is 186kg and so on. Even my HD Fat Bob is 175kg. Don't understand why Kymco has such low values across the range 😞
Te împingi pe șa, în față, până ajungi cu „bijuteriile” la capacul bușonului de benzină. Acolo, șaua e cea mai îngustă. În continuare, aplici aptitudinile de balerin și ajungi cu poantele, sau poate mai mult, pe sol. Și te antrenezi în a-ți muta tuhăsul mai pe-o parte, când te pregătești să oprești, astfel încât să stai cu un picior pe scuter și cu celălalt, stabil, cu toată talpa, pe sol... Nu mă întreba, cum am învățat asta...
"sport mode no traction control will do a burnout." Cool. But will it wheelie? (I understand that you don't want to abuse Kymco products on video..... But that immediately came to mind.)
I'm not a wheelie guy and nearly dropped my GS when I did a baby wheelie but I think in the right hands it would do a wheelie. You can't pop the clutch but you can make it to jump up.

Hello Alex!
Thorough review, I liked it very much.
Could you do such a review of all of the scooters every brand please?😊
That would be awesome!
Be bad and do roadtrips, all the best!
It depends on the dealers to give me scooters 😁
Excellent, thorough review. Will you be posting a video of your trip?
Yes, there is a lot of footage probably in 2 weeks the full trip will be up on the channel
Great video!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Congrats on the kymco relationship. I'd love to see you review the Kymco Xciting but I'm biased 😉
Beautiful review. Had my full undivided attention the entire video…. Way to deal with the dogs in the end!
Thank you 😁

I liked the plastics, they felt good and there was no ratling what so ever.
Aleex, asta e cel mai detaliat videoclip al tau. E clar ca iti place jucaria asta. Sper sa faci un asemenea DOCUMENTAR si cu un Sym Joyride 300
Joyride 300 este deja pe canal, greu de facut ceva in plus cu el considerand ca nu face parte din flota de test.
@@RideWithAlex Da, la asta ma refeream. O saptamana de test. Esti bun pe treaba ta. Big like!
Did you get the zontes in the end,?
and how do you compare it whit this kimco? i know its a big price diffrence but anyway?
It's hard to compare, the zontes does it's job very well, but the AK has something special about it. You pay a premium price for a premium product.

It's going to take a bit of time to go through the footage, I have over 4 hours filmed but hopefully in 1-2 weeks it will be out.
Nice Review, great Scooter!
Thank you 😁

I had it for a week and it was mostly fine, apart for 1 day the heated grips had a glitch but fixed themselves the next day 🤷
.you are doing great
Thank you!
I guess you can get used one for a lot cheaper as they are available and with the engine so well made it shouldn't be an issue 👍
I wonder if this bike is worth it over the Forza 750, where I live they are almost the same price but the Kymco seems to have a lot more features.
Depends what you like and best would be to test ride them both.
Cool looking scooter and a great review Alex...Does Kymco do any good 125's mate ?? 🙂
Yea, they have a lot of 125's
@@RideWithAlex Get the 360-125 for a review Alex 🙂
@@The_Arby I'll ask for it :)
@@RideWithAlex 🙂
Is it very hot under the seat, in the storage?
Didn't have an issue with that.
Great machine .. What about Downtown?
Maybe in the future if it's available
Hi, how is this bike compare to TMAX?
If you watched the whole video I said about the T-max
zontes have same fuel consumption?
Just about the same.
Can you please explain why they say in the specifications that weight for the rider, passenger and other stuff is only 165kg? Is that true? If yes then why? Yamaha Tmax has 196kg , my ADV 350 is 186kg and so on. Even my HD Fat Bob is 175kg. Don't understand why Kymco has such low values across the range 😞
I have no ideea about that :/
@@RideWithAlex But in papers it has really just 165kg, right?
@@puffybodie5282 I didn't check the papers on the test unit
I think Yamaha have no excuse for the T-max price with the AK550 around
Thank you for the review Alex 👍🏻
I'm withholding judgment until I spent some time on a T-max.
3,5L/100km at 80kmh easy constant trottle solo ride on the back magistral roads??
Should be about that, I didn't ride like that :))
@@RideWithAlex 👍👍
Salut, Alex!
Crezi ca o persoana de 1.67m ar ajunge la pamant cu picioarele pe asa scooter?))
Trebuie sa îl încerci, pe românește nu e înalt depinde cât de bine poți sa te cracanezi ca e lat 😂
