What do you think of the new Aprilia SR GT125, would you get one? Let us know in the comments section below!
love it!
A nice and detailed review, a very nice scooter in my opinion, it's just a real shame that it doesn't have traction control of the rear wheel and key lass, these are 2 things that are already in Yamaha and Honda.
Great video, been waiting for a review of this bike, it looks amazing.
Makes the choice between the PCX and N-Max even harder. I hope Honda release an ADV-125 that could be a good competitor for this.
I've got the same dilemma was ready to purchase the sr gt something different but then the non abs has put me off and now I'm hoping honda release a ADV-125 hopefully with the forza 125 engine at just under 15bhp but lighter narrower and shorter would be perfect.
@@MrMkhaliq this could have been written by me. I'd buy this today if it had ABS. It's exactly what I'm after. Fingers crossed honda bring out and adv 125. But that has even less storage space..
I have a medley 125 20 plate after having a pcx and Forza 125 i can confirm the engine on the Piaggio is the best ive had. Add this styling and its a winning combo. Cannot wait to trade my one in and get the Aprilla. Been waiting for this scooter for over a year.
That's good to hear, what colourway would you go for? I'm a big fan of the sport version colourways
Having bought one of these new in March and so far covered 1500 miles, I can safely say that your review is totally accurate. Most previous reviews I've watched give me the impression that they have had half an hour on it and formed a half cocked opinion.
I agree with everything you say, and would add I've come to scooters after many years on bikes but as the years take their toll I need something fairly light, so after two pcx's, but this is the scooter I always wanted . I'd describe it as a midi scooter as it has an overall more grown up appearance and does handle like a motorcycle. Far superior (Showa) suspension, Nissan calipers , strangely I prefer linked brakes on a scooter, as the pcx has front wheel abs and I preferred my 2017 pcx that had linked. Even the little things like a rev counter and ambient temperature in the nice dash make a difference for me. So now its done a few miles it's nicely loosened up. Have to agree though neither of mt full face helmets fit under the seat
@HungryPandaBear then only Aprilia ..for poor roads specially
Hi , is economic ? Like pcx ? Thanks
@@christga100 I was also wondering. If I had my full license, I'd jump right in for the 200
Great review!
Thanks for the comment Ian!
hi there, much love from Indonesia 🇮🇩. in my country, Aprilia only sell the 175cc version. it's been a month since i bought one and it's safe to say that this bike is the most comfortable in its class.
Picking mine up next Friday, looking forward to having a play on this
How have you been finding it?
@Ben had it just under a year now and everything is as you would expect it to be, the stop start feature isn't really something I use due to personal preference but it's an all round good bike.
@@lewisbeedham5657Can you turn that feature off then yeah ? I' am about to get mine too. How is to ride it in 2 people ?
@erfracicone5980 yeah you can turn it off via the switch on the left handle, as for pillion it looks like it's quite suitable for it but haven't been able to test it.
@@lewisbeedham5657 Thank you !
I love that bike dream 🔥
Be interesting to see a peugeot pulsion 125 on the channel.
Would this be a good first time bike for a 20 year old who’s 6ft3 thanks
I am thinking about buying my first 2 wheels. How important is ABS? I really like this one
I had a bit of trouble choosing between this scooter and the medley from Piaggio.
Went for the medley because it was almost 1000 euro cheaper than the SR GT.
Is this moped good for rainy weather
i am thinking to get this one or a vespa sprint 125
If you talk to Josh at Detail Corps Media I bet he can make an under seat insert to take a HJC helmet 👍
i will pick up my tomorrow cant wait
How is it
What security systems does it have by default
Hi, it has a factory immobiliser which when the bike is locked and the key out, a red light flashes on the dash.
Are you doing the 200 review soon?
No just the 125cc., The 200 only has about 2 HP more and ABS from memory.
If i cant get a honda ct125 imported this is my solid backup plan
Very nice. I suppose if storage is important go Piaggio, you can get lost under one of their seats.
Or Xmax
I've been waiting for someone to do a Ho da forza vs. apprillia comparison review on here, but it seems to be that it will never happen. :(
I've had a Honda Forza 125 for around 4 years now and looking for something else. How do you think they compare?
I would assume that the Forza is superior, but it depends what you like. The Forza has larger tires and much more space under the seat.
@@skillfuldabest Decided to keep it and upgrade it more. It has a 170cc kit now.
is that easy to ride if you are 5 8'? Thanks, great vid!
Yes it will be! Thanks for the comment.
Can you opt for ABS as an extra??
Seeing as you haven't received a response: yes, the SR GT 125 is available with ABS, but only on the front wheel
So what's the best cheap scooter value for money I cant decide keep changing my mind
All depends on what your budget is, and what you are needing it for. Why not check out our top 10 125cc scooters for 2023 video, this might help you.
How many miles can a full tank do
Around 230miles
Will it cruise at 70mph? Cheers
No, it will hit 79
Sorry meant to say it will hit 70 given time, but it will not cruise at more than 60
It'll cruise at 60 mph. Cruise at around 67mph with a polini variator kit.
No, in the year I've had it I've hit 70 once, when the stars lined up. Cruising at 55 all day long, bit of a push to 60 but it'll do it, 65 is achievable and 70 is a unicorn. I've had a few 125s in my life and none of them will cruise at 70, either I'm too fat or people are taking the manufacturers' words as gospel.
I wish people who reviewed told you there weight also.. as I’m not going to weigh the same as you & your saying a max speed of 70… I imagine if I got on with a half tank I’d get 75 weight 1000% Varys speeds

I agree with you everything is awesome on this the styling etc. But 125cc,, come on it's a bloody joke. Why don't they just literally put a 400cc engine into this, it would easily fit. Why don't bike manufacturers do that in these smaller good sized frames, instead they come out with a massive bulky cumbersome scooter with the 400cc engine that nobody really wants
125cc has grown massively that's why they have done it look at the Pcx that says it all
1. New Segment
2. Better fuel economy
3. Not everyone wants fast
4. Little cheaper
5. Why not?
IMHO, you're wrong about the brake selection for this bike. ABS is useless, aka dangerous, on loose pavement and off-road riding. I'm a big fan of combined braking. This is an ADV, not strictly a city bike. Stock tire selection is your first clue! Direct competition to the Honda ADV 160.
You can buy this as either linked brakes or ABS. Nice to have both options available.
@@JakeM218
You don't really get a choice. It's based on vehicle color and options. Pay more and you get the linked ABS, which comes with the keyless option, which only comes in certain colors. I know. I own one.
And I did a panic stop on it the first night and almost ran into my wife! Useless ADV tires. Motorcycle skills kicked in and saved my ass from total embarrassment. The linked ABS ACTIVATED... and I watched and felt the horror of the front tire totally skidding along on dirt and small asphalt.
Basically, it's like any Honda. Linked brakes if you buy the DCT model. Well, what other model have you seen in the dealership?! So... It's not really a choice.
I rode the sr gt 200 all summer. I will compare it with my previous scooter - the Honda ADV 160: in my opinion, the Aprilia has 4 significant drawbacks:
1) the rear suspension is not designed for 2 people, I had to add a 9mm spacer to increase the spring preload
2) there is no keyless entry (and this is in 2023!)
3) the engine mount to the frame is too loose, when crossing the markings, the rear wheel wobbles, and there is no feeling of solidity, as it was on the Honda
4) no traction control
Therefore, I think that the Honda ADV 160 is a much more successful scooter
Did you have to add the spacer even having the suspensions at 5 ?
@@erfracicone5980 Yes, with passenger it will bottom even at 5 level of preload
@@ruslanmuzhikov3962 Would you say it d be better to change the springs from the beginning ?
I m getting it next week so I might have time to order them.
@@erfracicone5980 I heard that fresh bikes may have fixed suspension. So try it first, may be it will be already fixed
@@ruslanmuzhikov3962 Ok thank you ! If not I have already looked for some new springs that fit tbe bike.
Yss around 400 euros
Why no ABS??!😡
To distance from 200 SR-GT
Look at this way. With no abs means one less thing to go wrong. You don't need abs. Alot of riders rely on abs when they shouldn't.
Its got cbs, works flawlessly on my old honda 150trigger
You can buy it with either linked brakes or ABS. You have that option.
@@JakeM218 really. Maybe we don't see that option in the UK
No ABS and my full face ain't gonna fit under the seat? And I would buy this why?
Not reliable.
Owned for a year, not skipped a beat.
@@Clapham888have you had to replace or get work done on anything?
Im due to purchase soon😊
From experience? The Piaggio / Aprilia group invested the modern day scooter engine.
By comparison, Honda make reliable cars but their small capacity engines commonly drink oil and don’t last - yet everyone assumes “Japanese reliability”. Helmet head on UA-cam has had to have his Honda engine rebuilt after a few thousand miles. Also Noraly has had problems with her Honda through Africa.
I'm sure its a quality and practical scooter from Aprilia, but i have to disagree on the looks.
I really don't like the look of crossover scooters, and this one is no exception....it looks too high at the front, and as though half its face is missing. Thats why in my opinion crossovers will never look good.
I think Aprilia missed an opportunity to actually design a scooter that's suits its sports bike image as a brand, and create a 125/155 sports scooter that would have been a flagship model to their iconic SR50R. Even that other famous Italian sports scooter, the Gilera Runner does not exist any more, and Aprilia could have filled this vacuum too.
ENTER YAMAHA!!! They have such a scooter.
I own a true sports scooter that has not yet been introduced in Europe.....the Yamaha Aerox 155. To anyone that has not seen this amazing scooter, i urge you to check it out.
Yamaha has designed a gorgeous sports bike looking scooter.
Being a Yamaha, they went all out to design & deliver a sports scooter that handles like a motorbike....and includes ABS, keyless start, LED headlights/ taillights, digital dash, 14'' wheels with beefy wide tires, and a 4 valve, liquid cooled, fuel injected 155cc engine that includes VVA Variable Valve Actuation. (this is the same engine as the Nmax 155.)
It has the best power to weight figures in this segment the world over.
They have only been introduced in all the major Asean markets, but they have been a huge success since being launched in 2016 at the Sepang MotoGP event by the one and only Valentino Rossi. They even have there own race series in Asia.
Like Yamaha, Aprilia is also competing in MotoGP these days, and i just think its such a shame they did not bring out a true competitor to the Aerox, and make a sports scooter, instead of an ugly crossover, but I'm sure Aprilia will sell heaps of them just the same and be satisfied.
No, not for me, not even close....i love my desirable Yamaha Aerox 155, and always will.
I've been waiting for someone to do a Ho da forza vs. apprillia comparison review on here, but it seems to be that it will never happen. :(
