Had the NH - T for just over 1 month now and absolutely love it. Done just over 800 miles and loved every one haha. Top speed I have had 69mph from it on a flat road and I'm 19 stone haha. All in all fantastic bike. I have passed my test now though so onwards to bigger machines :)

[@parkertek1002]

I bought an NHT thanks to this review. Fantastic 125 to ride around on! Throughly enjoying riding. Thank you for the review

[@parkertek1002]

@Martin Ramsbottom no it’s because it’s just a short gear ratio that’s all. Just have to gear up earlier

[@parkertek1002]

@Martin Ramsbottom it’s not a problem. I’ve found also that on a typical flat straight I get all of 61mph(98km/h) in 4 gear but if I change to 5th the speed dips but it’s great in 5th for large hills, you can get quite high speed 67mph(107km/h). But yes the low is not particularly fantastic but good enough to get away on local road etc. Safe Riding my friend!

[@paulmul7972]

Top job guys 👌

[@stephenhumphreys3114]

Bought NHT in August Very comfortable to ride , holds the road well looks good . Apart from enjoying my first ride out the day i got it , someone cut me up and hit the car side on. The bike held up well with the impact, solid. :)

[@parkertek1002]

Good to know it’s a solid bike 🏍

[@MrBoybergs]

I'd be very cynical about a 125cc adventure bike if I hadn't borrowed a mates 125 Varadero about 12 years ago. I was a courier' using a VFR 800 at the time and I was pleasantly suprised at how useable the Varadero was in and around town. Motorways were a bit of a chore but doable. I ended up offering to buy his bike for work as the fuel cost savings would have been amazing. He didn't want to sell he liked it so much. Moral of the story; don't knock 125's.....they're just fine and can be fun too.

[@motorsforthemasses]

Absolutely! We rode 125 most of our lives, perfectly happily

[@zetoalgarve]

They are the future...you don't need anything more...safe fuel...save taxes...save money...

As Sym is imported by MotoGB in the UK, as of 2 years ago, they made all the bikes they import have 2 years warranty and the 5 year warranty ended, unless you pay for an extension.

[@charlesuk5358]

NHT looks a really nice bike for £2.5, problem is prices have suffered a upward creap on these "non" main brand bikes, Given that most main brands will offer 0% finance and have decent reliable dealer support, it is getting hard to justify the price difference, especially when you factor in depreciation . I still like the off brand bikes but they need to remember where they are coming from and that they often don't have a dedicated dealer network and still operate as supply agents

[@presterjohn71]

A lot of the price bump is the stuff that they have had to upgrade to make them legal since Euro4 came out.

[@charlesuk5358]

@@presterjohn71 fully agree, but the companies need to make sure they support the dealers , and find better dealers in the first place, i switched my son from sinnis to suzuki purely down to lack of dealer network, the dealer was poor even from the point of PDI, and being 30 miles away made getting servicing a pain, and it still thing that all but one bike repair place here will not even look at non main brand bikes. They still have a long way to go if they want to survive long term, but i guess as they dont actually make them its not an issue just as long as they make enough to live off

[@presterjohn71]

@@charlesuk5358, I think with Chinese bikes you always go for the brand that is in your city. I wanted an AJS but in my area it's Sinnis, Mash and SYM, so that's who I realistically should choose from.

Hello mates, i would like to know if i can make a trip about 125 miles with the Nh-t but with 2 riders on it. I'm between buying that one, an buying a bigger 650cc but used and older..Please answer! Thank you!! ☺️

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hi, 125 miles should not be a problem at all unless it is at top speed constantly, which no 125 likes. 2 people should not be a prob but your top speed will be hindered, 50mph max I would say.

[@xDiakias]

@@motorsforthemasses thank you very much !

[@denmirg]

Hello guys. How does this compare with Benelli BN125? I'm a tall guy - 6'3''. I had some experience with Benelli and while not perfect I could fit on it. How does this compare in size / seating position? Unfortunately I don't have one in stock in my country at the moment, but expected soon. I'm wondering if I should choose this one over benelli.. Benellis are in stock. But SYM will come with abs and a bit cheaper.

[@motorsforthemasses]

The Sym will be about 5mph ish slower and a little taller but the Benelli has a very low seat height anyway. NHT will be a better fit for you over the NHX I feel. What about the liquid cooled Sinnis Terrain instead? Same speed as the Sym, still quite a low seat height though. If you can get it, the Zontes G1 Scrambler would be a great choice. Faster, better built, taller; but it is about 20% more money.

[@denmirg]

@@motorsforthemasses wow, thanks so much for the details! I'll definitely look into all of these!

[@jacobeobrasresidenciaiskzo1407]

Hi, yes, MotoGB have decided not to continue importing these...

[@mikelacross]

Looks like Herald aren't have stopped doing the Mirage too, although they still have some of last years in stock, apparently? Maybe they are all shifting towards liquid cooled?

So what was the nh-t model top speed?

[@antoniokero2567]

126 km/h

[@minnsminns]

E5 means you can put fuel with up to 5% ethanol in it...

[@motorsforthemasses]

Aha....of course. Thank you!

[@Theorangeman.]

No shit sherlock

[@dimitristheodotos3011]

It is worth it to buy it ? And what is the top speed ?

[@izakvanderwesthuizen793]

I have the NHT and it has 1500km on the clock now. The worth of the bike depend on your purpose, for me it was purchase price, maintenance, reliability. In South Africa I paid R26 000 for it and my fuel consumption is 36km/l mostly highway use. Depending on inclination of the road I average between 95-105km/h. If I tuck down behind the handle bars I do a top speed of 120km/h at 10400rpm. Currently I am thinking of swapping my 15 sprocket, in front, for a 16 to get the rev's down since I do highway travel most of the time and it is full throttle all the way. As soon as you get used the is "power" then it is a stunning little motorbike. I weigh 76kg.

[@tomaszpakua2457]

NHT better choice definitely 💪

[@t_triantafyllou]

Guys what is your height? Because reviewers that it is short but to you it seems good

[@motorsforthemasses]

Hi, we are 5ft 10 & 1/2 and 5ft 11

[@scootyman2974]

If you dropped the front sprocket one tooth and used the bike up to 60mph you would probably find it livens it up enough to be happy with it

[@motobikemadness]

Would this bike be ok in UK motorways

[@motorsforthemasses]

Possibly a bit slow. I would look towards a liquid cooled bike. Zontes ZTU or G1 etc would be better.

[@ccinq]

- 1st ride, poor battery connection, I had to call roadside assistance to the garage the 1st day I ever picked it up. Could happen, you can say. - After a month and say 800kms, distorted front disc brake that made the motorcycle hop at every stop, even the mild ones. - just recently gear gasket change, some oil was dripping down the thing. What's the deal. I know I didn't buy a Hayabusa, but you guys at Sym, we are talking about a 4 month old bike. Potential users, avoid it.
