Will I be welcomed at a Honda Dealership?
Decided to take little trip around Bucharest since I was free from work this Saturday. First stop was the Honda dealership. Let's see if they welcome me with open arms.

Hi Alex, interesting video, again. The speed in the overlay comes from the OBD interface or from the GPS signal of the phone? The deviation at high speed between bike and overlay is pretty high? Which speed is more realistic?
I'd like to see the pcx if that's possible thanks.
in romana nu ai? :))
Hey ("Ride With Alex") Have You ever considered Comparing A Honda Goldwing against a Kymco AK550?
La Honda Nord este un scuter MIT negru, la intrare pe stânga, dupa un paravan de geam ... absolut superb, nu am mai întalnit un scuter atât de usor si măricel, l-am miscat cu un singur deget, nu ecposibil asa ceva, iar calitatea materialelor este mult, mult peste pcx
I have both PCX and FORZA, the 2016 PCX is silky smooth, FORZA is equally nice, I prefer FORZA, more confidence on the open road.
Hi Alex. Hope you and your family are well. My Honda review request would be a Honda Forza 350. Take care. Ray
No offence but what an ugly city... there must be nice parts somewhere... take a ride around the picturesque parts... ;)
Not really, most of the city looks like this, especially in this period.
Most I'd like to see is the new PCX DX 125 and the new Forza 125.
I have pcx 150,2016 model. Now he will get j. Costa variator and gpr exhaust. Maybe new or better bumpers. Planing to go to turkey in May and visit your shop back to Slovenia. Pcx it's really good. Service intervals are long and feeling is sporty/touring. I regularly going in mid city journeys with him in the winter. Thanks for Michelin city grip 2 video. Make my winter riding possible. Only thing missing from these model year is ABS.

'We are currently in Frasinetu de Jos' a sunat foarte funny 😁. great video, as always!!
You are excused for the title…purpose allowed for some good content!😂😊
Tbh I was actually curious, usually here youtubers especially one like myself that doesn't make content for the local market are not necessarily well regarded. We're kind of the weirdoes that don't want to speak Romanian and make our videos in English. Fortunately I found a bit of understanding and we'll see in March or April if I can get my hands on a few scooters.
Ăștia sunt Honda Nord, ăia care n-aveau angajați cu permis moto?😂Pe la Asko, ai fost?
La Asko nu am fost inca, pe mine ma intereseaza doar sa am cumva acces la flota de test.
@@RideWithAlex Știu că Asko avea ceva modele de test, la showroom la Crystal Plaza. Dacă or avea și modele din ultima generație de PCX, Forza, ADV, nu știu.
@1zanglang noul pcx nu o sa ajungă pana prin aprilie din ce mi-au spus, ii mai bat la cap 😂
Hi Alex, you should check your voltage regulator. I see your voltage is over 15v most of the time and you might overcharge your battery and it will die.
That voltage reading is from the OBD adapter, it shows about 1V higher then reality. I checked it with a multimeter.
Hi alex Can i ask you about the app or the item that are u using to show the battery voltage and the oil temp and the RPM and all the goodies? if you can for sure
The app on the phone is "Torque Pro" that logs the data, gets the data from a Bluetooth ELM327 Adapter conected to the meet OBD2 port of the scooter, then I take the log from the phone put it into a program called telemetry overlay and sincronize it the footage from the helmet camera.
Great video,thanks,more motorcycle/scooter dealers visits in Romania,greetings from Malta
Good afternoon Alex, have the new Zontes 368G and 703F arrived in Romenia yet? I have been seing lots of Spanish and German YTbers doibg reviews on them. Would love to see your comparison between the 368G and the 400adv from SYM. You have any news about them?
Not yet, probably March-April.
Salut Alex, la cati km ai refacut motorul? Ce problemă ai intampinat?
La 49.000, e video cu reconstrucția. Problema a fost doar un rulment de ambielaj care huruia dar încă nu avea joc. Am schimbat mult mai multe decât trebuiau pentru ca daca tot l-am deschis l-am refăcut pe tot în pregătire pt cannonball.
@RideWithAlex Multumesc, sa fie cu succes!
Here's hoping you get to ride some Honda's, especially the Forza 350.
They said in March they will start activating the test fleet :)
Hello Alex! From Honda the 2025 PCX125 and the Forza350 proper test would be nice. The Forza could be compared to the E350 😊. Btw, on saturday I finally visited the Zontes dealership where I had the chance to take a look at a E350 which had 40k km-s in it.😯 It was quite interesting. But sadly they sad that the 368G test unit will only arrive in mid march.😞 Last saturday I visited the SYM dealership to see the ADX125, the ADX300 and the Crusym300. The ADX125 is great, and that was suprisingly the only one I fitted with my 194cm.😮 Be bad, thanks for the video.
The honda i want to see is whatever you would recommend for the US.
Unfortunately the ADV 160 is not available here :(
I ve been reading quite a bit about this brand and the quality is great. Very much used in Brazil mostly for commuting. I am getting a used Citycom 300 shortly. Cheers!!!
How did you learn how to speak such perfect english.? I am 80 years old and a former motorcycle and scooter rider. I cannot ride anymore and really enjoy your videos.
Learned as a child watching cartoons.
Go and buy Honda ADV 350.
I'm missing just 7500 euro 😂💶
@ Sell Zontes and Donnie. And buy the best bike on market.
@EndritBs check out my video on the adv350. It's far from the best bike. The suspension is a total disappointment and so is the power.
Do a test with the current 2024 Honda PCX 125 and when the new one comes up, compare them
What are you riding in this video?
2021 Sym Symphony ST 200
Nice vid as always... What happened to Ratty? 😂
He's on my desk, and will be joining me on the Cannonball 😎😁
@@RideWithAlex I haven't seen him since 'the chewy days'....glad he is still around and looking forward to your cannonball 👍😁
@@markr1142 he was with me on my trip through EUR-Asia with Donnie. He usually comes on epic trips, he's picky like that. 😂😂😂😂
Do they sell the Service manual? Were cant i find it?
Check with your local dealer.
5:57 what is that??😮
An electric kick scooter with a home made seat.
What do you recommend for someone who lives in the US? Are you wearing Odin gloves if so or not what model gloves?
@federers6711 yes they are Odin gloves, I have many gloves from them both the "originals" series and the "heavy hitters". I tend to prefer the "originals" in cold weather and the heavy hitters the rest of the year. Tbh in the US I would look at 3-400cc scooters if you want to do interstates otherwise a Honda adv 160 is a solid choice.
I recently bought a Japanese Domestic Market truck. I looked into buying one at auction and importing it myself. That looked like too much work for me so I finally bought from an importer. That said, there are several RUclips videos on how to do it. Part of it is a guy who is authorized to enter the port. I don’t remember what his title was and obviously the procedure would be somewhat different bringing it in temporarily compared to permanently.
Watching you ride in Bucharest's traffic freaks me out. Being a rural rider, I only have to dodge deer.
I ride in the 4th largest city in Romania, Constanța. The traffic is quite the same, like in Bucharest. But I would say, drivers are less aggressive here. However, there are many frustrated idiots like the green VW Polo driver, around here...
If you are with the SYM NHT 200, yes. If not, no.
Wooooo, you're alive :))
because of you Marius i bought my NHT 300, come back to NHT
@@benioltean7640 I might. Sold my ADX, looking for something to buy.
15:23 yeah that's your typical nit wit, he's probably not capable thinking at all, and being a jack@$$
i just got to ride my silverwing for the first time in about 5 months yesterday and my ADV in about a month

Don't know, youtube puts them automatically.
I'm jealous...40 cm of snow in Nova Scotia
Ouch :(
This is not a Chinese scooter. It is Malaysian. Actually it is a Honda, as it is made from Astra Honda. PCX resemblance is expected as it is designed from the same people and made from the same company. Honda in Europe stoped selling it, in favor of Vision. Fortunately Gorgolis got a licence to import this gem, under Daytona brand. Plastics are very nice and very sturdy. Power unit is very quiet, fast and with low consumption. It is flexible and light in city as you found out! I own this scooter for almost a year and I believe that it is the top choice in 110 - 125 cc's!
Honda have made a big mistake with that display! & they still haven't fixed that crappy suspension...
GLad to see you! what is this round hole in the windshield?
If you watch the video where I cut the windshield it was there because the frond dash cam looked through it. Since then I moved the dashcam. This is just a test windshield, not the final version.
I like your videos because they show real-life usage, and some of your comments are hilarious. I would really like to see you on a bike in Bangkok and hear what you think of the traffic there, it should be fun🤣. Bukarest has very little traffic in comparison... Anyway, your videos helped me to decide to go for the Zontes 350E for my next ride.
It's true, maxi scooter are more convenient all rounder.. multipurpose..
Love the Cockpit and the light weight but here in Austria i only found one used one 400km away are there similar scooters out there ? With Around 115 ccm
Don't know but you can road trip it 400km :)
I live in HK and want a bike that is easy to park in tight spots, can handle very steep roads, and can handle riding double at about 180 kilo? What are your thoughts? Worried a 300 would be to small.
Răcirea pe aer o vezi ca un impediment (problematic) pe termen lung la folosirea în mediul intern/exterior (70/30%)?
Nu, al meu symphony ST 200 personal are motor racit pe aer si am facut cu el si oras si drumuri lungi si vara si iarna si mereu am ajuns acasa fara probleme
@@RideWithAlex Mulțumesc pentru răspuns!
You can easily get highway pegs to stretch out your legs
Would it be good for delivery works?
It's a bit small but it can handle the abuse, we have here a lot of people using them for delivery work.
PO = punct de oprire
Stiam statie si halta, punct de oprire e prima oara cand aud :D
lo scooter riesce a mantenere i 100km/h fissi ?
More like 95
Grazie !@@RideWithAlex
Price difference between Zontes and Kymco AK 550 = 6.000 euros = the price of Cruise control.
I've had the AK550 Premium on test for a week, and there's more to it then just the cruise control. If you can afford the price the AK it's awesome, but If you can only afford the zontes you still get a machine that does 90% of what the AK does for 50% of the price.
@@RideWithAlex As for now I have Honda NT1100 manual version 2024 and Honda Rebel 1100 T 2023, also manual. Last summer (I live in Spain) I had a road trip to northern Spain with the NT, and I was soaked in rain. After arriving to the hotel, I had to grease (liquid moly langzeids fett, black) the chains and dry my gear. While cruising in central europe, the belt drive is perfect. In august this year, I will have the money in hand to buy the AK without selling any of my bikes. Loking forward to this. I have ridden with the Xciting 400 (20.000 kilometers), and it was a pain in the ass, while it didn't have the cruise.
