Sym Orbit 125cc review and test ride. Looking for a 125cc scooter?

[@taffy2wheels577]

Like the colour and storage under seat. Rev and go ... just like my AT shag .

[@GillyBikes]

Yes. You do love a Rev and rip.

[@city_research921]

Sounds like a hangover.. 😂. Thanks for review. 🫵💪

[@GillyBikes]

😳😂🤣

[@alternativeperception6949]

I have one exactly same as in video. Will a full face fit under seat YES its got to be positioned just right . Top speed about 55mph . Fuel consumption very good . Low down torque is very good so getting through traffic is very easy . Will start fist press in any weather even in temperatures in the minuses in winter. Never uses a drop of oil ever . My big issue is the suspension it is horrific and with a bad back it's the only thing that's making Me want to change it . I use it on a 12 mile each way commute on 30mph and 60 mph roads it does just fine

[@GillyBikes]

Great to hear. I don’t get the bikes long enough to discover all that so it’s always good to get info from An owner. Thank you 👍

[@fingerhorn4]

PLEASE: rather than saying "you'd probably get a full face helmet in there" why not actually try fitting one! The under seat storage is one of the most important features for the average buyer. I just don't understand why you would review a scooter and not simply demonstrate this. I realise helmets are different sizes but at least we would get a rough idea. Thank you.

[@GillyBikes]

It has been said before. All of my future and newer scooter reviews include this info. 👍

[@fingerhorn4]

@@GillyBikes I appreciate that. But if you want to do a proper review of any motorcycle, at the bare minimum we need to know the seat height and whether it is easy to flat foot, power, USB ports and where they are located, real fuel consumption and most important - top speed on an A road. A lot of this info is hard to come by on many "official" dealer sites. I'm certain your channel would have more hits if you did more thorough reviews. The average buyer needs to know as much as possible as there are so many new scooters around and they all have individual quirks.

Excellent amondo 🎉 🎉😮

Many thanks 😊

[@clangerbasher]

That 30k will be Deliveroo peeps. I was astounded when I found out how many miles they did.

[@GillyBikes]

I thought that but it was a bloke that uses it to go to and from work. His only transport so doing over 10k per year.

[@clangerbasher]

@@GillyBikes 40 mile round trip.

[@dy8194]

What is the fuel consumption on this bike i can only do 70-100km the range on a full tank i weigh 90kg and put on a food delivery back on a rack attached so j guess thats normal even after serviced?

[@GillyBikes]

This does between 80-100 miles per gallon. It holds just over 1 gallon so should get over 130km on a full tank.

[@dy8194]

@@GillyBikesokay thanks i am guessing this is the sym orbit 3 the latest model i found out eventually by testing my sym orbit 2 125 can travel 153km before eventually nearly running out of the fuel but it the fuel gauge says its already empty when i reach 100km thats why j got confused

[@meneerdebeer8320]

Where did you buy the scooter? Can’t find it anywhere

[@leeroyleeroy6099]

Hi mate , me again. I'm struggling to find out the size ( diameter & width ) and weight of the weigh rollers for this particular model. Thank you.

[@AlvaroSanchezChile]

Hello, do you have the info on size and weight? Greetings from Chile

[@leeroyleeroy6099]

@Álvaro Sánchez I've done some "research."I think the rollers have to be 18x14 10.1g and the DRIVE BELT 818X19.7X28. Once again, that's for SYM Mask 125cc E4 .

[@enevill]

What is top speed?

[@GillyBikes]

I never attempted any top speeds so not sure but most 125’s will do 60mph.

[@Coldkilla420]

I’ve got the same bike changed the oil and some other things and does 68

No this one is a 125cc. I’ve been on a 50cc today though. This one is much better 👍

[@Mr__80398]

@@GillyBikes I have 50cc speed, how can I increase the speed by 50?

[@GillyBikes]

I usually do that by buying a bigger bike.

[@lillekenatnek195]

@@Mr__80398 there are CDI's available that can ramp up the speed. Also with remote

[@leeroyleeroy6099]

Hi mate, have you charged gear oil yet? I've done mine with the pilots recommended in the manual 85w-140 , but it seems noisy then before and a bit sluggish. The scooter I bought is almost new ( bought it from FB Market) but I don't know exactly what the bloke has used before. What do you think about using 80w-90, as most of the 4T 125cc scooters out there?

[@GillyBikes]

If I change anything I always stick to the bikes manual. But I’ve never changed the oil myself. I’ve always let the dealers do it as part of the yearly service.

[@Coldkilla420]

@@GillyBikes I’ve got the same bike and I change it more often than a year 😂

[@leeroyleeroy6099]

@Rio Liburd hi mate , have you changed your rollers yet? I have difficulty finding information about the size and weight. The same goes for a belt or whole variator. Plus going on Sym's" official" site, I had shock seeing how much they are asking for parts. A bets is £73

[@Coldkilla420]

@@leeroyleeroy6099 I’ve not changed them yet as I bought new from a dealership when would you recommend changing them?
