Take care and ride safe! - Авто та транспорт
Nearing 4.000 km on it, since October of last year. Been riding it on a daily basis throughout the winter, including the 2 or 3 snowy days.
I'm very happy with it, it's a great machine for a beginner. Very easy to maneuver in traffic, not powerful enough to get you in trouble when you do stupid things but powerful enough to quickly get you out of tight spots when you need it to. Also, no mechanical problems whatsoever, so far.
But using it as a touring scooter... I don't know. On the rare occasions I got above 90km/h I have to say it depended a lot on the wind speed and direction if I had a pleasant ride or a scary one. I have the medium windscreen, but the problem is not the front wind, but the side one. Because the rider position is so high and upright - which is great for the city - this also makes you subject to serious exposure to side wind at speeds above 70-80 km/h, which can knock you around pretty bad.
So, having had these experiences, I chose not to use it for trips outside the city.
Otherwise, again, awesome scooter, I couldn't have gotten a better deal for this money.
Salut! De consum esti mulțumit?
@@bogdandobre6103 Sincer, mă așteptam să fie mai mic, undeva pe la 3 la sută. Cu mers numai în oraș la ore de vârf am între 3,5 și 4. Probabil dacă luam ceva cu motor sub 200cc ajungeam sub 3, dar nu cred că aș fi fost mulțumit de performanțe.
@@raduanghel5105Mulțumesc!
It is a great scooter, easy to get around the crowded city. The only two downsides are: there is no space for XL helmet under seat and it doesn't have space to rest feet on 45 degree for long journey. Great little toy, easy and cheap to service :)
I bought it,and i see that is the best scooter ever made before.I had a lot of scooters in the past,but like HD300 no other scooter!!!!
Thanks Alex ,today I will get my brand new sym HD 300 ,so I'm very happy to hear your opinion , I'm always watching your videos they are very interesting.
Have a nice day from Athens!!!
You chose a great model, enjoy it :D
Hello Kostas. How is it after one year of ownership? I have just ordered it this week. The next one will be mine😊
@@catalingioacas452 hello my friend ,the only problem was my front disc brake because I had a very strange wavy kind of braking , after I changed this I mean the front disc, everything is ok.
Is a very good and powerfull scooter with big tyres ,good suspensions according to the scooter limitations , a lot of space so you can carrying a lot of things ,I'm sure that you're gonna love it!!!
Great review Alex!
Thank you! :D
Hi Alex, greetings from a happy HD300-driver!
I have four scooters, 300, 350 and 400cc, but the HD is my favorite of all of them. OK, the front brake is a little bit weak. But the weight is not so hight, it have a very comfortable seat and handlebar position and very straight/stable and comfortable suspension. And the mirrors are realy good!
It is a very good all-rounder.
Have you tried other brake pads, something to improve?
@@raresvintea1 Yes, i have (polini Sinter), but it makes no big difference. Because the brake caliper is the same as on the 125cc models.
I have two scooters! HD 300, Maxsym 400!
@@ari_jola8764 Have you tried to change the front brake caliper with the one from the Cruisym model?
Love the videos
Thank you 😁
Chiar ma intrebam cand o sa bagi in seama si HD300le :P Multumim mult de review !
Le trecem pe toate in agenda rand pe rand in functie de ce timp am la dispozitie :)
@@RideWithAlex HD300 sau Zontes 310M ? Amandoua imi plac dar vin de pe motociclete si mi-ar placea ceva care sa poata face si ceva autostrada, drumuri mai lungi etc. Am 1.72 m inaltime cu 29 inch inseam (picioare scurte = vertically challenged :P)
@@kajnatok înălțime la sa e cam la fel, zontes ul e mai puternic dar un hd300 cu parbriz costa cât un zontes dar vine cu topcase inclus..... Pffff e grea decizia, cel mai bine sa vii în showroom sa te așezi pe ambele sa vezi care îți face mai mult cu ochiul.
Can you make a review on the Sym Jet 4 RX? Love ur videos too!✅
I've already made a review on the Jet 4 RX
ua-cam.com/video/IHXWOk9o5zw/v-deo.html
So many different Sym rides to consider? Great to see the differences. Rola (Oregon / USA). Only one Sym dealer in my area, I’ll have to go take a look.👍🏻
I think în the US you have the "Jet 14 200cc" that has the exact same engine and drive train as my personal Symphony ST 200 that I have used on all my trips on the channel.
@@RideWithAlex Will keep that in mind. R
one more great review!
Thank you😁
I'd like a moulded carrier option on the rear, to carry more wet weather gear, or larger foods ect.
It would be interesting.
Piaggio bv 400 is the bie you are describing . Very plush ride for touring scooter
Wow, I didn't know that there was a middle ground scooter. Great review!
Do you know of any 125 cc scooters with abs and traction control?
From Sym the 2023 JetX should be getting TC and also the upcoming ADX1 should also have TC, from other manufacturers I think the Honda PCX has TC but you have to check your local market.
Brilliant rewiews Alex . I watched them all summer . I have Honda SH300i and it is almost perfect city scooter exept confort . Sometimes I feel like it is going to fall apart when crossing the bumps . What is your opinion which scooter is most confortable , including Zontes and SYM . I am looking for a new scooter , for the next season . SYM or ZONTES 300cc ? I was thinking about the SYM HD300 even ADX 125 . Thank you 🙂
In terms of suspension I think the HD300 is about the best, but all scooters shake you a bit on rough roads because they don't have a lot of suspension travel.
@@RideWithAlex Thanks 🙂
Hi Alex, great work from you presenting us motors and scooters.
Please your honest opinion!? I am considering and doubting between Forza 350, Cruism and Maxsym 400. I know prices and if u are a beginner, what would you choose? Yes, mostly for the driving in the city, but also some longer distances. Thank you in advance and all the best from Serbia. Cheers
Cruisym 300!
Alex, You tested both machines, hd 300 and jet x. I am unexperienced driver and looking for a scooter. Both are on the top of a list. Some tell me 300cc is great for the city some tell me it os heavy and 125cc is the fit. You drove both of them and what is you recommendation?
Just for the city the 125 is better much lighter better fuel economy easy to handle.
Looks like a really good all rounder. How long is the warranty. Very informative video 👌🛵🛵🛵🛵
It depends on each country, here the warenty is 2 years or 24.000km
Looks like there's a dealership in Bangkok. I'll give them a call tomorrow. 🛵🙏
In germany, we geht five years warranty for all Sym scooters over 125cc.👍👍👍
Hi Alex, I'm looking again at your videos and comparing HD300, ST200 and Joyride 16 300 alas none of which are available through SYM's UK website. As a SYM dealer can you tell me if a dealer has the ability to order bikes to their country that are not usually available in that country?
Cheers Dave
You would have to ask your local sym dealer if they want to special order you one.
I think you're looking for the new Joyride 300, with the 16" weels AND the flat floor!
I know, it will be a hard decision this winter if i swap the ST for a Joyride :/
@@RideWithAlex is it available yet in Romania?
@@TheEragoon yes. The one featured in the video is available for purchase.
@@RideWithAlex I was asking about the JOYRIDE 300 16, it seems to be the best of both worlds. I don't know about the pricing yet.
@@TheEragoon that one not yet probably autumn
Hi Alex, what is your opinion about Kymco Agility 300 compared to Sym HD 300?
I haven't seen the agility 300 so I can't say anything about it 🤷🏻♂️
Pe cand un test mai lung cu Sym HD 300, de preferat pe un traseu de munte?
Dacă îmi pune cineva la dispoziție un hd300 pt asa ceva fac fără probleme.
Interesting scooter for multiple tasks
Indeed it is 🙂
Looks nice wondering if its OK for people under 170cm ?
Try it out, if not try the new Joyride 16
SYM NHT200 is a better bike than all of three put together. Bigger wheels, bigger ground clearence and also is better in trafic.
😂😂😂 One word.... Clutch 😜
@@RideWithAlex Sh1t...
😂
NHT 200?! It can't be better... It only has 2 wheels, instead those three have 6 wheels...
@@lotusds 😂😂😂😂
What about the two metter tall drivers ?
That's a difficult one, I don't know what to recommend at your height.
Hahaha true. Multumesc :)
is it good for delivery too?
I think a 125cc is better but if you want something with a bigger engine then yeah, this will be fine for delivery.
Salut Alex! De consum ce poti spune?
In jur de 3.5-4.5 in functie de stilul de mers.
@@RideWithAlexMulțumesc!
l-ai pus la fix cand voiam sa beau cafeaua =)))
=))) vizionare placuta
I put my downpayment on the hd300 and will trade my ST and pay the difference. I should have it by the end of June. Yes it is better than the beverly because I have driven the beverly. The hd is at a great price point amd it sells a lot here. The beverly is over priced. I always loved SYM anyhow. Take care.
The Beverly has only the Piaggio name going for it. Objectively there's nothing to justify the higher price compared to the HD300.
@@RideWithAlex Exactly! Just like the overpriced INFINITI car brand in the us is realy TOYOTA and is extremely overpriced. THE HD 300 is 10 times better. I love the engine and the body shame. But as I said Alex I have always loved SYM. Finallly the superb review you did on the HD sealed the deal with me.
is this the same as the SYM Citycom 300i?
It's a bit bigger and the replacement for the citycom
@@RideWithAlex what do you mean replacement? is that because its not in the USA?
@@inseasonandoutofseason in Europe the citycom is no longer sold, the HD300 is the scooter that replaced the citycom. The citycom was never made to respect the euro5 norms so it was axed in Europe
@@RideWithAlex I see, thanks for your reply. I have been wanting to puchase a citycom here in the states, but wondered where would i get it repaired, since there are so few here. Anyways, take care
@@inseasonandoutofseason it's simple to repair plus they are stone cold reliable. I don't know what's the parts availability in the US but main thing to look out for ease of obtaining is air filter, brake pads and disks, cvt belt and roller weights. But if you buy it new they should have spare parts. Otherwise the citycom is a great scooter, great in town and also it can cruise at 110-120km/h all day long.
Trage mai tare Nht 300?
Nu as zice.
The engines between those motorcyclist are exactly the same.
Yes the HD and Cruisym share the same engine.
Mai vorbește și în limba romana ca nu toți ne am născut "engleji" și nu vin ei sa ți cumpere scuterul din Romania
Acesta este canalul meu personal nu al unei firme. De aceea canalul se adresează unui public internațional, eu nu am comision din vânzări, doar prezint niște informații sa ajut cumpărătorii sa fie mai informați atât, nu sunt agent de vânzări nu încerc sa conving pe nimeni sa cumpere ceva.
@@RideWithAlex convinge ma în limba romana. Pe străini ii doare în pagina a doua de noi. Apropo, cât consuma real cu 2 pasageri și bagaj în traficul din București și la viteza maxima, ciclistica, frânarea, fiabilitatea, cât costa mentenanță și piesele de schimb, consumabilele. Te rog "dastea mai practice și mai aproape de adevăr" Cât de comod este pentru pasage și conducător, dacă noaptea farul luminează bine drumul etc?
@@alexandrualexandru6874 tocmai ce am spus ca nu încerc sa conving pe nimeni de nimic dacă ai citi ce îți răspund aceasta conversație ar decurge mult mai frumos.
@@RideWithAlex and your international audience is very grateful! There is no better English language ‘authority’ on Sym products on the internet. Thanks Alex!
@@renes9966 thank you and I'm glad you enjoy it and don't worry the channel will stay in English 😁
