SUCCES in noua aventura.... Intrebare, pe langa subiect, daca e permis..... Spui la minutul 5-6 ca top speed-ul tau e in jurul lui 105 pe ceas. La fel merg si eu, tot cu ST200, aproape de max,sa nu il obosesc. Al meu reuseste vit max pe la 98-100. Si 100 cam rar. Viteza de croaziera ar fi 90-92, acolo se simte bine. Vorbesc de loc drept bineinteles. Intrebarea: ai modificat ceva la Donnie? Ceva sfaturi? Sunt curios de rolele noi, cand le montezi... Viteza Asta de varf va fi pana la urma motivul trecerii la 300-400 cc. Aspept cu netabdare vlogurile americane. GO DONNIE....

@@TheArdeleanDaniel Absolut nimic modificat, asa a mers mereu. Variatorul Dr Pulley inca sunt in dubii daca sa il cumpar sau nu, ar trebui sa fie mai bun la drum lung dar in acelasi timp piesele OEM SYM si-au dovedid anduranta si fiabilitatea si cand esti pe alt continent planificand sa faci peste 10.000km in 3 saptamani mai importanta e fiabilitatea decat 5-10km/h in plus la viteza.

I saw his videos and I'm taking that into consideration, the SYM OEM parts have proven their reliability and that they can withstand high levels of abuse. Might just stick to the OEM even if I cold get a bit of a higher top speed and some fuel economy with Dr Pulley.

This sounds great, cannot wait for the adventure to start!

I knew it ! This is great news and I cannot wait for the live video from the event. All the best 👍

You dont need to do anything as far as the scooter with a DMV. What you must do is request a non reaident import exemption from the EPA if the scooter does not meet American emissions standards. You can use your home country's plate just as someone from canada driving in the us. You simply need to do the EPA form which you can google and it comes up. You will need to be insured as well. You can see if your local insurance will cover you however it may be easier to get a progressive liability policy once you are here. They insure chinese no name scooters for liability, so theyll surely insure yours. Also on the sponsorship- look up Alliance Powersports they are the USA importer of SYM. Maybe they would like to partner with you. An SYM doing the cannonball would look good for them selling that brand! Good luck!

i know Quasi and i'm sure he will tell you the same thing. take any parts with you that you don't think you can get here in the US and take the stock variator with you also. Anything that you know might or has quit on you before. and if things change around here i will try and do it also. but things are going to have to change around here first. but i will ride out to meet you when you when you show up here in the US

I know a lot of folks do the cannonball with small scooters, but be aware when you are on the highways in the U.S., cars, and large 18-wheeled semi trucks are going to be flying past you at 85 mph consistently. Crosswinds will hit you from North to South at sometimes 40 to 50 mph sometimes for days at a time. I just wanted you to have an idea what you are getting into. I love your channel, don't get squished. lol If it were me, and in 2025 it could be, I would get something that can at least maintain 70 mph.

The scooter cannonball normally doesn’t route on major US highways. In 2021 there was a small stretch on highway outside of Reno, NV because there wasn’t another good way to get there. The thing to worry about are dirt and sand/gravel roads. I broke 4 ribs in 2021 and 3 ribs in 2023 on that crap. I’ll be back for 2025.

Alex: just so we’re clear……Love your affinity for Donnie, but 50-55 mph on some highways in the US is going to be “marginal” at best?! Very concerned when it comes to US auto drivers having to maneuver around you & fellow riders? Hoping the best for you & all. Rola (Oregon / USA)

You have to remember the scooter cannonball is a big event. The route is also planned properly. They aren't going to be on freeways. And they won't be riding alone, the local law enforcement is aware, and it's even relayed in the news in many places. Just like any other riding you have to ride defensively. Personally, if some impatient people are going to be mad if my scooter goes 55 in a 55 screw them. It's pretty tiring to hear that your bike can go the speed LIMIT but it's so accepted to exceed it and break the law that YOU'RE the problem doing 55..... I'm just going to ride. Just have to be careful around people like that.
