You’re quite right about the sense of adventure and freedom being heightened by setting out on a small capacity bike. Another fine adventure fit for a Norse Saga. Repeatedly blown away by your fantastic mastery of the English language. Better than many of the natives.👍
Hi Alex, Once again, you’ve created a fantastic touring video that blends adventure with captivating landscapes and excellent content! Watching your Day 1 trip put me in a holiday mood 😂 and reminded me how fortunate we are to live in a peaceful part of the EU. I’m eagerly looking forward to your next videos and the rest of your journey. From my perspective, Tiraspol still feels like a Soviet island, almost like stepping into a time machine! Best regards for you and for all your subscribers !
Tiraspol is very interesting, a time capsule from the Soviet era but also with a lot of modern 21st century western influences. They both live together in harmony in one single city. It absolutely captivated me and I want to revisit the city again and stay a few days to really get to understand it.
daca as fi stiu iti gaseam cazare buna si iti aratam si drumurile mai ok :) btw - Vulcanesti-comrat-chisinau-bender - drumul e ok, pentru intoarcere recomand chisinau-albita sau chisinau -sculeni(iasi)
Alex, I am so envious of you man. I am in South Africa we don’t get any of the new SYM scooters. SYM scooters are imported and distributed by Kawasaki and they dump all of the old models here. I suppose its more profitable for them to buy old scooters and sell them as current models here. The latest model of larger capacity scooter here is the CityCom 300, CBS variant. Luckily I got the last of the ABS S edition before they stopped importing them here. But none of the adx scooters will make it here. It’s so frustrating!!
This Symphony has bad aerodynamics compared to my Jet X 200z Same engine,but at 90 kmh I am at 7000 rpms.And feels comfortable.Now With aerodynamic Windshield I put,I am getting 90 kmh at 6500 rpm.Only thing I wish this bike was a little bit longer at 1450mm. Aero matters,this Symphony has bad aero windshield,front like.Otherwise SYM is my fav brand at moment
Interesant. Eu aș fi evitat Ucraina. De la Tulcea puteați merge la Smârdan, să treceți pe noul pod, apoi Galați și treceați în Basarabia pe la Giurgiulești. Eventual, dormeați în Galați. Oricum, bine că ați "răzbit".
Hello dear Alex, i'm following your chanel from Morocco since a few days ago and i'm actually interested by buying a brand new Sym Symphony st200. I heard from a friend here in Morocco that this scooter have some electrical issues due to the bad quality of wirings. Did you actually find some similar issues ? Thanks a lot !
@@RideWithAlex thank you so much for your answer, appreciate it. Actually I'm waiting for my bike's delivery on thursday and your videos helped me so much to choose.
Salut, cred ca ar trebui sa vb in limba romană . Ar putea sa fie un câștig in vizualizări . Sunt mulți români ce nu înțeleg limba engleză și având in vedere ca nu prezinți de regula Hayabusa , S1000 rr și restul similare, 😂😂😂 cu 299 pe autostrada și canion chasing😂, mulți prefera sa se uite la altceva. Sper sa nu fie cu supărare ! Cu respect!

@@RideWithAlex I have a question please. What is the difference between air cooled st 200i and liquid cooled st 125i. It is best for long and city travel.? Thank you ✌️
@@amdesigner-ia both ar just as good for long distance travel, both engines have adequate cooling. The difference is the liquid cooled one will be more fuel efficient.
Could you please take Honda Forza 350 2024 for the test? If you will be able to compare it with Honda PCX160, it will be really brilliant. I can explain why my advise is little bit strange: Nobody compare such bikes between, but several bloggers said that they are really similar and there is no reason to buy Forza. So, in view of the fact that you are really “non-commercial” blogger, your comparison will close this topic. You can compare it in the city and for touristic application also.
They are not similar at all a 125-160cc scooter will never hold a candle to a 300+cc scooter. Check on my channel my review of the Zontes 125M where I also compare it to it's 300cc brother.
A trecut legea cu filmarile din trafic! Cred ca poti trimite filmarea la politie! De la DAlga se poat ajunge foarte repede pe camp catre slobozia pe niste drumuri agricole mirifice (MULTE ASFALTATE). Se poate iesi catre Borduselu Albesti socoale. Ulterior se poate traversa un pod de vase peste ialomita (si pe acolo puteti parcurge culoarul Ialomitei) si ajugeti la Misleanu!
Marius e agresiv in trafic?!Despre c e vorbesti amice?@El are mai mult content cu bicicleta si acolo nu ai cum sa nu te enervezi cu acei ,,ghiolbani'' care nu respecta nimic in trafic!!!
Crossing the border through Isaccea after dark is pretty dangerous... it would've been better if you planned the trip so that you would have traveled through Ukraine in day time! I guess you wouldn't wanna bump into smth like this: ruclips.net/video/SIKFjtddAN4/видео.html
The smaller the machine, the bigger the adventure! Thank you for showing how capable small scooters are:)

Chiar mi-a placut si mie ce ati filmat cu marius, mi-a parut bine sa vad si de la tine video cu tripul acesta
Mulțumesc 😁
Foarte fain clipul si tu esti un bun povestitor . Abia astept episodul 2. 😊

SYM NHT 200 would have been a better bike for this trip.
For the first time in your life you are actually right about something
@@RideWithAlex Remember when you were late and I wasn't. So this counts as the second time.

How dare you suggest that Donny is anything else but perfect for any trip. 😂
nht 300 even better!
Another great adventure for Donny and his sidekick 💀
Great video Alex 🙏🇹🇭
Faina tura 👌
What a lovely trip 👍
Yessss..roadtrip! And what a roadtrip it is. Travelling in the dark through Ukraine 😂
I enjoyed the night time riding!
It was interesting, defenetly kept me on my toes 😂

That's actually sad. Exploring Africa on the ADX125 or the ADX400 would be something to dream of :((
So Far My Symphony Have No Extras Gadgets At All....!!!! 😅

Οκ now you have crossed Ukraine, you can take Donnie to Yemen 😂😂 Your next journey 😂😂
🤔🤔🤔
crazy fool going into a war zone but crazy is in your middle name :) nice to see your still enjoying life
I can tick off the list "war zone" 😂😂
Have you ever taught about putting a Big Block Kit to enhance performance on Donnie?
No, I need reliability for long trips not an extra 10km/h with the possibility of being stranded 1000km away from home.
What time does it get dark? Here in my country it starting to get dark from 6:30pm
9 pm
That speedo on SYM is very optimistic.. 😂
Shows 10% over like all modern motorcycles.
In Srbija we call those fried fish "Girice" or "Papaline"

hi sir, can you review sym tuscany 150
We don't have it here
It's just released at Malaysia and Thailand(GPX Tuscany)

The roads look pretty dark at night in Ukraine. Do you think they deliberately left out the streetlights to prevent the Russians from target bombing?
I have no ideea, we weren't in any city or village so it's no surprise there were no street lights
