Cheap scooter or expensive scooter? That is the question! The new Sym ADX125 at £3799 is it good value or should you buy something cheaper? These bikes are for sale at @in2moto480 in Warrington, Cheshire. Big thanks to them for letting me take this out.

The Taiwanese quality will explain a lot with Sym branded items.
I really like this bike. Saw a vid by Ride With Alex (channel name) from 7 months ago in which he took one of these over a mountain road/track, which was pretty impressive. Worth checking out.
I'd have one for daily, lovely looking little scooter.
Have a great day. 👍
I think there a great looking little scooter. The good points are the monoshock suspension, instead of the usual rubbish 2 spring shock set up's. And the fact I don't think you mentioned is the 15litre tank offering over 300 miles which would be brilliant if you were on a long 125 adventure 🙂. I do think there a bit expensive,and am sure they would sell alot more at £2995! Ps like your comment at 12.44 when you said they are very symilar!!!😅😅
What we Brits have to remember is that a lot of the world, even in the develop parts, has gravel roads.
It's not an expensive scooter. Start spec'ing up an NMAX and the price climbs. Then there is the Forza and ADV. And that is without mentioning the Vepa's and the oft forgotten BMW range.
Easy to ride. I love a Rev and rip ❤
Very interesting review. In Greece SYM is in first place of sales at the scooter segment.
Greetings.
So many reviewers say the same thing "probably enough room to fit a helmet in there" but never demonstrate. The space for a full face helmet looks marginal on this scooter yet it is the single most important thing apart from engine, weight and ability to deliver its specs for many owners. So PLEASE, always actually try to fit a helmet under the seat. Personally it would make or break a decision to buy or not to buy!
you better get ADV 350 or SR GT 200, more reliable & more power but not overpowered for daily use, perfectly in the middle
Sym used to build Hondas under licence so they should be reliable . That scooter is not a serious off roader ,it’s more of a styling exercise , to cash in on the ADV fad . I can’t see the point in stop start especially ,on a low capacity scooter ,where fuel usage is negligible anyway, plus it’s just more to potentially cause extra wear & issues . Scooters have their place ,for commuting , I bought a Malaguti 125 twist & go Maxi styled scooter ,which used a version of the Yamaha Majesty 125 engine ,liquid cooled 12 • 2 hp in 2000. The thing handled like a Ducati sports ,& It would show 75 mph on clock on a good day ( genuine 70 mph ) . I could get a XL full face helmet & a Jet open face under the seat . It was a good commuter & beer truck , & so comfortable it could be ridden for miles ,even two up . The only problem is removing all the plastic ,to get at anything , & the small wheels can disappear down potholes & almost rip the Engine come swing arm arrangement out the frame . I still prefer proper motorcycles with manual gears & their larger wheels given the choice . 👍
Check engine light is on?
Where in Warrington is that shop is it on Manchester Road near the cemetery??
Or is it the old bill pope's
