- 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.

Take care and ride safe!
Thank you for sharing this. I have a Symphony ST200 now and I am happy with it. I did not imagine that it could be such a "touring" scooter! Thank you also for making us know the roads of Romania , so nice mountain roads and fields and landscape. Love your channel!
Thank you! 😁
Amazing landscapes. Landscape as like Hellas. Very nice country my friend. My GTS 300 F4 spend 9L at 270-280 Km. Very good i think.
2 years late for the ride and out of video sequence, no matter, it was still great to see! Will catch up on all your videos in time. Really like the safety tips for all of us, (especially when entering pavement after being on dirt / muddy roads). Your minimalist approach for the average rider, (no matter where they are on the planet), is inspiring! Being a life long tenter, enjoying life with what you have “is” the adventure, good for you!!! Rola / Oregon, USA
Glad you are enjoying the videos :D
Thank you for showing us these beautiful places in your country. The mountain region and roads are interesting. We have places similar to these in Brazil. The roads preferred by motorcyclists are: Rastro da Serpente and Rio do Rastro, both with fantastic landscapes. If you're curious, search for the names on CZcams.
Good to see what the smaller capacity motorcycles are capable off, regards from rsa
Thank you
I can totally agree with you about a 125cc bike can go any distance. I took a 125 BMW C1 from Dundee (Scotland) to Rome and back!
I have big plans to drive this to prove this time and time again :))
Very good journey & try of the scooter abilities
I really enjoy all of you videos man!! 👍 🤙
Thank you
Alexander the great with one horse arrived from Greece to India, imagine you Alex with 12 where you can go....
I would say your mileage seems to be about 70km per cow. They don't want to mooooove out of the way.
😂😂😂
Talk talk talk
Yes yes yes
Very good video! I have place a bet that i can travel on the previous model sym st 200i (2019) for 400km? I appreciate your opinion. Will it be difficult? Thank you and keep on with this good job bro.
Go for it, you won't have any problems 👍
@@RideWithAlex Thank you Alex. I'll do it!
Hi the ADX 125 felt weaker on such trips ..i mean open road ,climbing ?
The adx felt better on the open road.
Hi, I like your videos. Can you add a maps so we'll be able to use it for traveling in Romenia? Two years ago I rode 7c to transfagarasan. It was amazing!

I will try to make a google folder with all the kml files for these trips, so people can re-create my trips :)
Have you ever ridden a Jet 14 200 on a long trip? If yes, how did it handle the trip
Mechanically it's identical to the ST so the engine and transmission will handle the trip the same. I don't know about the comfort I haven't ridden a jet14 long distance. But it should be comfortable with the added leg room.
@@RideWithAlex thanks you so much Sir🙏🏽🙏🏽
How much is your mileage as of today on your ST200? And what technical issues did you have, if any? I bought an ST125 (2021) a week ago and I already did 140km on it. Everything works perfectly.
I currently have 25.000km on the clock and tbh, nothing noteworthy has gone wrong. It just keeps on trucking, just regular service and maintenance.
@@RideWithAlex Thank you. And for the ST125, I checked that first time I have to change oil after 300km and after that it's every 1000km or 2500km?
@@hasan2333 here we do the first service at 500km and then every 2500km. But check with your dealer and his warranty terms.
To ask you something more. Are you satisfy whith the LED lights? On the open roads at night? Can you make video about that? Low and high beam, in the city and at the open road?
The front light is just awesome, on high beam I can ride at 80-90km/h on the open road and see far enough in front that I can come to a complete stop in case of danger. Unfortunately I can't really show this on camera because the GoPro is terrible in low light and my phone is not great also and I don't have the money for a big expensive camera that I could use to show this. You will have to take my word on this the led light is awesome, and the fact that it has at least 15.000 hours of burn time before it might fail means I am probably go over 100.000 km before the front light burns out :D
You will sure make 100.000 km for two years or leas :).
@@stevolepetic7580 depends how much money I have next summer for all the road trips I have in mind 😂
Nu mai bea atâtea energizante ca nu fac bine 😊..o cafea e mult mai ok
Nu-mi place cafeaua, nu beau cafea de loc :))
@@RideWithAlexștiu am zis poate te fac sa te răzgândești:))...apropos am și eu o intrebare:...eu dețin o vespa de 50 cmc cu care fac în timpul liber glovo și tocmai ce am ratat fondurile rabla pentru o vespa de 125....acum tu ce crezi între honda pcx , yamaha n max și sym adx 125...greșesc dacă iau sym și nu japoneza....având în vedere ca în timpul liber as face glovo dar ma mai plimb și cu soția...as vrea sa le împac pe amândouă dar nu știu dacă este la fel de fiabila în trafic...nu îmi dau seama cât de lata e...?
@@megaultrashoot8741 eu merg pe Sym de 5 ani și am 100.000km împărțit între doua Sym-uri. Părerea mea e ca nu greșești cu un ADX
I want to buy this bike just whith the 125 lc engine. Do you recomand it? I think that it is going to be ok also at the mountains road, what do you think? On your video aceleration was mutch slower than yours, but maybe it was the new bike, not driven enough to make full power, or becouse of the wind?
The 125 I tested had 1100km, so it was broken in. If you can only get the 125lc it will work just fine on the same roads, just a little bit less power up the hills.
Thanks for answer. Your chanel is very good. Becouse of you I decided to buy Sym Symphony ST. Here in Montenegro it is more than 1.000 € cheaper than Piaggio Medley (both 125cc LC) so I think it is the best valye for money. It is also cheaper than Kymco People S 150i.
Сколько километров по трассе можно проехать на полном баке и какой он в объеме? Спасибо.
7 litters about 200km
That poor cat and dog looked so overworked.
😂
pentru in bucuresti vara, crezi ca ar avea probleme cu racirea? in regim de delivery mai exact
L-am alergat vara asta la 40+ grade pe glovo, l-am alergat intenționat foarte tare pentru ca voiam sa vad dacă se încinge și nu a comentat nimic, a mers perfect. Problema e cu stocurile pt 200, se aduce doar la comanda ferma după achitarea unui avans de 30% dar dacă vii pe la showroom pana în ora 14:00 ma găsești acolo și poți sa dai o tura cu al meu dacă ești interesat sa îți iei un 200.
@@RideWithAlex ma intereseaza, pt in primavara in special un jet14 200, dar asta dupa ce dau de A2, nu ca as avea probleme dar mai bine sa fie legal decat sa am surprize, deci totusi se aduce chiar si modelul de 200 daca il ceri si se plateste avansul, e bine de stiut, si ca si timp, in cat timp ajunge in showroom?
@@Iulian1999 depinde dacă îl au cei din Grecia în stoc, dacă îl au în stoc în 2-3 săptămâni ajunge, dacă nu trebuie sa vedem când le sosește. Avans se poate plăti și acum și se stabilește o data pentru primăvară când vrei livrarea și ne asiguram îl ai exact când îți trebuie :)
@@RideWithAlex mersi de informatii, ma voi gandi mai bine cum sa ma organizez cu timpul si banii in cazul asta
Can you say what phone mount you used
I always use a quad lock phone mount
@@RideWithAlex will it for to the mirror stem
@@Iflyanythin I use the mirror mount with the vibration damper.
@@RideWithAlex thanks 🙏
