Aprilia SR 125

The Aprilia SR125 is a performance scooter that is offered by Aprilia, it combines a modern design with Aprilia’s signature decals. But does the scooter have what it takes to stay relevant in the competitive 125cc segment, let’s find out:

The Scooter overall is designed with performance in mind and the sharp edges and an overall aerodynamic design. It looks very sporty and is an eye turner thanks to the decals and aggressive styling. While the seat gets split cushioning for sporty looks, it opens up as one unit. Completing the looks at the rear is a long-ish exhaust and a raised tail section.

The Aprilia SR 125 is powered by a 125cc air cooled motor, producing 10.11PS at 7500rpm and 10.33Nm at 5500rpm. This makes it slightly more powerful than even the TVS NTorq 125 Race XP variant. This coupled with the automatic gearbox should ensure peppy acceleration in the city. The 3-valve engine also offers a good balance of cost-effectiveness and performance compared to 2-valve engines. 

The SR 125 is a good handler making it ideal for commutes in the city. The larger 14-inch wheels it comes with helps the scooter absorb bumps and potholes with ease, enhancing the overall ride quality. The suspension setup is balanced and keeps the scooter planted when riding at high speeds.

In terms of comfort, the scooter is able to offer a good riding experience in the city but longer trips down the highway are not easy. This is because the seat is a bit more towards the firmer side and after a point riders can experience discomfort on their legs.

The Aprilia SR 125 doesn’t pack many features, the scooter gets a digital instrument cluster that displays essential information like speed, fuel level along with other readouts like average/top speed, mileage, tripmeters and an odometer. Aprilia has added a USB charging slot but sadly, there’s no smartphone connectivity. Also, the underseat storage isn’t particularly large, but comes with a boot light.

The Aprilia SR 125 is a good scooter if you’re looking for a no-nonsense scooter that is solely focused on performance. Its sleek looks and Italian badging makes it stand out from the rest of the 125cc scooters. But if you want a good balance of performance and features, then you could also consider the  TVS Ntorq 125.
