  • I know this is a long video but this is probably the last road trip of the year. For the next couple of months I don't think I will be able to road trip anymore because of the winter cold. I had a 2 day trip planned with my friends up into the mountains and I decided rather then take Alp I should take my Sym Symphony ST200 to see how can a little city scooter handle the wide open road and tackle mountain roads and switchbacks. Spoiler alert it was way more fun then I ever anticipated. This video is for the people who enjoy a good road trip with some wonderful scenery so grab a cup of tea and some popcorn and enjoy they ride. And if you make it to the end of the video drop a comment and tell me how did you like the scenery and Donnie's performance on these late autumn mountain roads.

    Hello there Alex! Until today your Cruisym road tour video was my favourite, but I'm just watching your previous videos one after another, and this road trip has been even better! :) Slower speeds, beautiful environment, good basic food, great music...all in one place. This video is my answer if someone asks me why I chose a scooter. :) Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ride safe! :)

    Back tracking, taking your videos as they come👍🏻Enjoyed this ride especially just before you stopped for the day, (was great to hear your friends greet you)! Love the music breaks, (inspiring while you glide along the road). Absolutely agree with your ride / life philosophy of just get out & go, (ride), “don’t over think it”, use what you have. Best, Rola (Oregon / USA).

      It's best to not worry about things when you leave, we live in a modern society with smartphones and cell service, if anything happens you call a tow truck so there's no reason not to take the "risk"

    You are really pleasing me with these road trips. I feel like riding with you. Will get the first service Thursday of my kymco at 1000km made in 3 weeks 😮 and next trip for me will be 270km to Valencia and 1 night camping and back home 🏡 next day. Thank you. You made me buying the machine😂😂, I wanted to buy the same scooter than you but it is not available in Spain.

      El 125 es igual de bueno y fiable. Tengo la Symphony 125 st y es una maravilla. He puesto un variador de la casa Sym y tengo más fuerza a bajas revoluciones.😂 Velocidad de 117 a 125. Pero voy a 95 durante distancias más largas...Una pasada de scooter. Baúl y pantalla te iran de maravilla. Bolsa en el asiento atrás y pasarlo pipas. Saludos desde Mallorca. Fui a ver a mi hija a Jaén. 500 kms. sin ningún problema. Tengo 67 años, pero parece que tengo 50 con mi Sym. Mini camera y móvil y adiós...Si tienes 150 € monta Michelin Pro City 2...Una maravilla de comportamiento...!

    I had a smart car with which I drove over 160000 km. Everywhere, even long holiday journeys via the German motorway. Many have said that they would never do that. I loved the car, it was a lot of fun. Often it is more fun to be on the road with small vehicles at the limit than with an overpowered one that is just bored. From my point of view, you also learn more about driving.

      You have to go to a showroom and sit on it. I fit good on it but I'm only 175cm tall, you have to test it for yourself and see how comfortable you are on it.

    Alex,your SYM which rpms start to move? And what stock rollers and gear ratios it have? My Jet X 200 start moving at 4400 rpms,and want to start less rpm and stay 100 kmh at less rpm like SYM ADX

    • @RideWithAlex
      @RideWithAlex  26 днів тому

      Between 4-5000 rpm the clutch engages and it begins to move. If you want to reduce rpm at high speed then you will have to search for an aftermarket variator, this one from Dr. Pulley should fit:

      It's more of a 125 with a bit of a stronger punch off the line, but currently it has done everything I've asked of it and I think it will keep on delivering the more I ask of it 😁
