I think in the coming month and with the cost of fuel, they'll sell a lot of these. Sym and Kymco make excellent scooters, and always a good bit cheaper than the Japanese ones. Thanks Mark, good review as always.

I bought one as my first bike last October. In Greece, where I live, they offered it with front and rear abs, but not anymore (since 2022). It is a very beautiful and good quality scooter. Thank you for the review Mark.

Hi, I would like to ask a question, if you don't mind: Is the Sym Joyride 300 16 (with 16 inches front wheel) available in Greece? I saw it on dealers websites, but apart from Kokkina Fegaria YT channel, nobody has made a review yet. From my perspective, this scooter is the true jack of all trades as Mark likes to say. In Romania, where I live, the Sym Romania hasn't it, and when asked they answered sometime in the future. Weird thing there is one used, available on OLX market and the seller claims it is bought from the dealer that says it doesn't have it. So, it crossed my mind I could buy it from Greece. It would be an interesting thing to have a road trip, from Greece, to Romania, on scooter.

I don't understand why they didn't put the fuel tank to the frame tunnel at driver's feet like other manufacturers. The tank under the seat takes valuable space for the trunk and increases the center of gravity. That's really sad. Otherwise I would seriously think about buying that scooter.

@Yohoobohoo Hi, that’s a good question and it was a close run thing. Basically it was the styling of the Aprilia that just won out. To be honest I wasn’t really expecting to get one as they seemed quite hard to come by at the moment due to supply issues and rather than waiting months I decided that the Sym would be my fall back choice. Sym bikes are great quality and look good too. Luckily the only Aprilia dealer in central Scotland had taken delivery of two SR GT’s, they’d sold one but the other was sitting in the showroom. When I found this out I took an afternoon off work, jumped on the train and put my deposit down then and there. So that’s basically the answer, the styling of the Aprilia just won out over the Sym Jet X which looked similar to the PCX. All the best 👍

@Yohoobohoo 😄 the bike came with half a tank of fuel and I’m nowhere near the end of that yet. I’ll have to wait until I fill up and then monitor it. My daily commute is very short and I’ve just not had the time yet thanks to work and Covid to give the bike a proper run out.

The current Honda PCX 125 has larger tires - 110 front and 130 rear, and you have a higher front fairing has an optional which Sym doesn't as factory standard. It still remains to be seen which one is more reliable, I had a PCX for several years with zero problems, however the PCX is assembled in Thailand and some scooters may arrive with assembling problems.

I had the SYM JET-X 125cc for 1 year and here are my thoughts: PROS: 1. The best overall design of this small category 2. The most powerful engine of this category 3. Very well built 4. Super low consumption, less that 3lt/100km 5. Very easy to handle in traffic. Wil squeeze everywhere 6. It will get you safely and easily up to 80km/hr, but after that it will start struggling, which is normal for a small scooter. Specially if you got a passenger on board 7. The storage space is acceptable but you will need additional space for sure 8. The suspensions are average 9. Instruments and buttons are simple and easy to use CONS: 1. A mediocre braking system. Won't save you from anything. Try to brake early. 2. You cannot see anything in the mirrors. Very small and poorly positioned 3. The key is not exactly keyless. You have to press it every time to turn on the motorcycle. You simply don;t have to plug it in. Thats all OVERALL: Probably the best 125cc out there. I clearly recommend it !

Excellent review as usual Mark. I’m a big fan of scooters and they make a lot of economical sense with today’s high fuel prices. Cheap road tax and low insurance to boot as well. I use a Lexmoto scooter for my commute to work and running any errands especially if the weather is not nice saving getting my motorcycle out and then cleaning it. Are you going to test either the Royal Alloy or Lambretta scooters? I’m kinda interested in the retro design. None of my local dealers run 125cc demonstrator scooters or motorcycles so you have to buy blind.

I would like one of these but I have a sym fiddle 2 (yes still going smoothly) but would like Sym Global to bring over the liquid cooled version to the UK. Lighter and more fuel efficient. I have a friend who has one of these Jet X's and he complains of the step over in the middle of the bike. If Sym would have added a small "storage" compartment in the middle of the bike (only contains the battery) then it could be even more practical. Maybe for a future upgrade. Like the idea of better fuel efficiency though and the price point is very tempting.

I wonder, what's under the fairing in between the rider feet. As long as the fuel tank is under seat, and not in frunt, under that plastic fairing, ruining the storage space under seat, the surface in front of the seat should have been flat. From this perspective, the Jet14 125cc is superior to this.

I also do, especially in the city. It is a habit that it’s worth having. It can save you when you are in danger mode and you have no time to react. Everybody should be doing it, and after some rides you get used to it

@@sotosanagno8331 The ex instructor in me prompted the question. With your index finger extended over the brake lever are you able to fully close the throttle before squeezing the lever. There are 3 braking systems on a bike, in most situations the first brake applied should be the closing of the throttle which will start the weight transfer to the front, followed by the front brake slightly before the rear. I had a pupil renewing his CBT on an older Vespa 2 stroke who had developed the habit of riding with his index finger over the clutch lever in case of engine seizure. I asked him, on my signal to show me what he would do, when I gave the signal he immediately whipped the remaining 3 fingers of his left hand over the clutch before pulling it. I then asked him what was the advantage from what he was doing as opposed to having 4 fingers around the grip for full control. As for the right hand situation I just see the potential for less ease in using the 1st brake (throttle) before using the 2nd and 3rd brakes.

@@1954Antony I cannot talk about a clutch situation because I only have owned scooters. But to be more precise I ride with my index and middle fingers on the front brake and with the other fingers and palm, I can easily handle the throttle. So I close the throttle and then pull the front brake with these two fingers. I can’t say this will work for everybody, by it works for me. Best regards S.A.

lovely looking scooter for sure. i had the sym jet 14 125cc AC E4 2019 but sadly it was stolen by thieven scum bags 5 weeks ago from my home and found the next day by the police destroyed by fire. because of the small space i have in the ginnel for storing my bike i was wondering if theres much difference between them in length and width size when it comes to the sym jet x and the sym jet 14 E5 125. i believe the first service is oil change then the second service is a complete service where so many parts are replaced with new parts which makes no sense as the scooter and parts are brand new and it's pretty pricey too hmm. i heard that if you don't have your bike/scooter serviced then it is no longer under warranty..
