Thank you for this Video! 👍 I will buy the „200“ and sell my medley 150. I enjoy riding this little scooters even more than big bikes. Just because it is practical and relaxed driving.

Really good review. I've watched it a couple of times. I just bought an SR GT 125 Sport yesterday, and can't wait to get out on the roads. Mine gets delivered Friday. In the flesh it was such a nice looking little bike, really good stuff. I'm so hyped for mine. I'm going from my old tuned 2 stroke scooter to this, do I know I'm losing a load of power, but seems worth it to me to have a really nice looking and handling modern scooter.

Had 2 PCX's 2017 and 2019. This bike is' street's ahead apart from helmet space. Handles better, more frontal area gives better protection, leg room, superb instrument cluster. 15 hp, Ok no abs, but I am a fan of combined brakes on scooters. With Honda recent price hike, the Aprilia is just £105 more. Just did a 173 mile ride with pals on bigger bikes, on A & B it was spot on

hi there, recently bought one here in Indonesia for my daily commuting scooter. the ride quality is far superior compared to its japanese rivals, espacially those rear suspensions! also, the only version on sale in Indonesia is the 175cc which has 17.7 hp and 16.5 nm. the engine is responsive. fuel cons is also good, i got an average of 40 km/l for city usage and 43-45 km/l for intercity usage. lastly, it looks awesome! love the sporty looks that has the current Aprilia design language from its bigger brothers.

Nice video. This is one of the better reviews (although I think that's limiting the essay you've provided) I've watched (across industries). I enjoyed all the tangential material you included. That really rounded out the presentation. Thank you. First off, scooters are motorcycles. That out of the way, this is an intriguing vehicle. I especially find it interesting that this bike was released under the Aprilia brand over Piaggio. I primarily ride classic standards, but regret having sold my Piaggio BV500. Granted, every now and then I regret having sold every bike I've owned. Such is life! I tend to buy, repair, restore, enjoy, and sell. It's a nice self-funding hobby.

Tested on the other day. Why didn't they just put a 400cc motor in it tho, then it's perfect

@tomasturek6884 3 ай бұрын

The reason why they do 200 is, because it's made by Italians. Be able to ride it on highway in Italy law you must have 150+ cubature. I am from Czechia and our law says that you must be able to cross 80 kilometres per hour, then you can ride on highway. No matter the cubature. So it's law reason.

@zepm7184 2 жыл бұрын

In SE Asia the 200 is $1500 more than a Honda ADV150. It has 3hp more but the ADV has more features and aftermarket support. I like the look of it but can't justify the price.

The suspension was one of the main reasons I swapped my pcx for this. The pcx suspension has supposed to be improved with each model update. In truth it's very harsh and crashy. The Aprilia has decent quality front and rear longer travel and actually made by Showa. Its much much better

The 125 engine. Is a piaggio medley motor. Its great. I've put 2500miles on mine already. Zero issues. Great for the weekly shop too. Only £8 to fill up too. 👍 I've got the red raceway. Also the standard version comes with a smoked screen. Aswell as the sport. Its alot better than my 2021 pcx and 2021 nmax. I've sold the honda due to the keyless system being problematic. And paint peeling off. Aswell as the chrome peeling. Honda have definitely lost their touch. My sr gt will literally leave the nmax in its dust. Its capable of 70mph. Although that's due to change due to fitting a malossi variator, 11 gram rollers and malossi delta clutch. 👍

My XMAX 300, still looks alot cooler, especially the rear. Also, 125 to "carve " the corners? Yeah right. I've had Nmax 125 and it was only adequate. XMAX300 is another story, I call it my shopping trolley. And unlike this joke that can't even fit 1 full size helmet, XMax does have a proper storage under the seat, so much so I never bothered adding the top box. And another thing, I like Aprilia as a brand but nothing matches Yamaha's reliability.

@nivelan 2 жыл бұрын

@@googleprofile6660 It's subjective though, hah. I love the BV400 for its bigger wheels (stability) and the extra power (26kW vs 20 kW), but the X-max 300 has the longer range, bigger underseat storage and a somewhat adjustable flyscreen. For me, this SR GT is pretty neat but the lack of underseat storage and smaller wheels mean I'd prefer the Medley. Same engine, same performance, less style but more substance. I just wish Aprilia would bring back the SRV 850, or a 650 at least. The only full license automatics are Honda's now, and they lack a bit of character.

This guy's inflexion is really tiresome to listen to, as if he learned English watching Friends. That you cant fit a full-face helmet under the seat is a deal breaker. Another PCX it is, which is a shame. Also, the PCX has the same 14" front & 13" rear wheel size.
