Joymax Z+ vs Cruisym α - The differences between them

In this video I will be going through all the main differences between the Joymax and the Cruisym. At first glance they look very similar and although they share the same frame and drive train there are a lot of little differences between them that make them feel completely different.

    I really like your videos as they are always very informativ. I would like to see a test video of the joymax z+300 (or 250). At present I use a Honda Sh150i for commuting. But I am looking for a 300cc scooter. Honda Forza, Yamaha Xmax, Kymco Downtown & Sym Cruisym are top on my list. But then I saw the new Design oder the Joymax: it got me straight away. Looks a bit like a brother of the Xmas. I like the look! So now it is top on my list and I try to suck in every information about it. But because this model is quite new, there are almost none Tests or reviews. Thanx a lot. I apreciate your work!

    The video is 1 year old, I already have a lav mic and much better gear then when I filmed this. As rating the 125cc a long distance bike, sure usually 125cc bikes have a cruising speed of around 90km/h that's where they like to be for long periods o time, so if you're okay with that then you can go anywhere on it.

    I don't think it will, the grece importer likes to keep the joymax and the cruisym separated, as in you want a 250 you get the joymax you want 300 you get the cruisym. Talk to your local dealer and maybe you can place a special order if you really want a joymax 300 but you might have to wait 3-6 months for it to arrive because it's defenetly not in stock anywhere on eastern Europe and the balcans.
