  • 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?

      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...:))

    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.

    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 .

  • @alexkolushev514

    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
      @RideWithAlex  5 днів тому

      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.

      ABS works like on any motorcycle in case of an emergency.
