However, as I started riding more and more different styles of bike, I felt a growing desire to experience a scooter for myself, to see how different it would seem, and what sort of riding experience they provide. So when the good folks at MotoGB offered to lend us the new SYM ADX 125, I jumped at the chance to get acquainted with my first-ever scoot.
