Got this vehicle last week.. unbelievably fast and stable.. lots of torque.. absolute fun to drive.. Italians have a fetish in making driver friendly vehicles.. aprilia giving me the same feeling as my fiat Only problem.. stiff front suspension.. it's a pain driving it off road
A scooter ramming a 100 n above speeds is kinda unbelievable to hear.. I feel things a going to change and i wish all the bikes launching in world wide market be made available in India like in Indonesia.
ARUN KANTH true, Malaysia, Indonesia etc south eastern Asiatic countries have a lot choice in the 2 wheeler market, we are seeing an aprilia scooter for first time, they already have a better version SR50 MOTARD and many since ages, and same goes for vespa, Yamaha, kawasaki, honda etc.
Was an awesome review,, I booked the vehicle right after i saw this.. got it after a month,, it simply awesome !! About the tone of exhaust >>it's completely new and kind of addictive actually,, it makes your presence audible
No other scooter can compete with looks and speed with the SR150 till date. And the power from tat 150cc engine is insane and it goes to a top speed of 120kmph..
Thanks for the great review. Since I'm a sportsbike rider, I really like the looks of this scooter. Vintage scooters like Vespa and others who copy Vespas look bore the crap out of me. Even though I'm an older rider, I still prefer firm handling performance over a soft, mushy, boat-like ride. It's just too bad this and scooters like it will never make it to US shores where we're behind the rest of the world (in more ways than one).
The way you describe every product, none does it so good. This is the third video of Aprilia I am watching and I must admit, you covered most things which others missed. Planning to buy one eagerly. I mean who wouldn't? When a scooter can match most 150cc bikes in power and cornering. Thanks for the review sir.
Scooter king as the Aprilia sr150.Good performance,engine power is very good,designing is awesome,Better seating comfortability,select for long drive without back pain,big tyres give riding mud road no shaking,back tyre quickly damaged,leg space is small.My Aprilia 1 year complete 20000km finished.
no discrimination but your video almost crossed the 40k mark and powerdrifts vid is still hovering around the 37k mark!! that is quite a proof that autocar is still on the track!! 😉👍 Ps: i luv both so no regrets, both r just plain fantastic
The vibrations in the handlebar & the exhaust note both were certainly deal breakers for me. I was thinking of swapping my motorcycle for this. But.... I'll take the next one!
I just got the Vespa 150 SXL, Being like almost 40k expensive than the SR150, It does have a very tough built chassis, but the one thing that is rather better on the SR150 are the big tires, I get every single bump felt with extra elaboration on the Vespa, This one kills em, Which is rather nice since the rain in pune have created an army of potholes.
I am planning to trade my 150 cc unicorn which is 12 years old for this scooter...at this stage i want a scooter than a bike, Will it be a good replacement?
I have heard that the speedometer is inaccurate, can u do a drag race between vespa 150,access 125 and Aprilia to check the speed and pickup difference..
Aprilla 150 & your review is very good. But what about after sales service & how many service centers are there in mumbai. Will we get the spare parts easily?
Hello Bro , have been watching all your episodes and you are killing it every time . Have been a great fan of yours , Aprilia episode was too good . Have a question ! I have been using the Honda aviator since 2010 and it's been an wonderful scooter till date no complaints but didn't find any good upgrade for aviator till now , was waiting for the Honda pcx 150 to launch but have no idea when they will launch it . Do you have any clue when the pcx models are gonna launch and is it good to wait for it or shall i upgrade to Aprilia 150 right now . Kindly suggest me . Thanks
Namaste sir. Main Punjab se hu. Sir new scooter lena hai. Honda activa4g or Jupiter or maestro? Konsa better hai? Resale value hamare activa4g ki jayda hai
Today I test drove the SR150 for 20 minutes and put it through its paces and I found it to be really horrible. The suspension feels like I am riding a bicycle from the 90s like the BSA-SLR bicycle. The bike pulled on one side, maybe because it was new dunno. The build quality by the looks of it looks good but the whole body is nothing but plastic, there is absolutely no use of metal whatsoever on the body. The Service adviser said that even the foot pegs are plastic and I was like WTF? Also there is no side stand and it cannot be fitted as an accessory. Also the SA said that this does not have a monocoque chassis so dunno about that. The braking was very good and the pickup and performance was awesome. The bike is very very tall and my wife/mother wont be able to use it at all. I have since dropped the idea of buying this due to the horrible suspension and use of all plastics in the body. I think this bike is for enthusiasts and enthusiasts only and not for daily commute. Even for enthusiasts, make sure you have a back and spine made of steel otherwise I can guarantee back pain on this even if it is driven for short distances on less than decent roads.
Glad you test rode and made your own call. But the pulling to one side - that is definitely not normal. Sounds like an issue on that bike. Ride - don't quite agree based on the bikes we test rode. Any ways we have to pick what works for each one of us! Take care!
well, i will still buy it, cause its my first owned two wheeler , before this i used ride an old tvs scooty which had failed breaks and suspension and hardened seats,so comparably i will love any scooter i own next, also i do am an enthusiast of power, style, speed and dont care about mileage, storage, suspension ,etc. so, yeah good for me.
Amazing than other ones in this range. it is really hot than vespa. There will be competition between two 150 cc Italians , that is , piaggio's Vespa and Aprilia 150 SR
Very good looking & powerful engine scooter👌, it has big tyres which is very good for scooter riders. but only one thing I want to say the manufacturer , it has to be more foot space or space for carrying some luggage for indians & little bit more long seat for pillian, & both side rear suspension, because we r indians & we Indians always want some extra.☺️
which types of bikes u need (affordable) Scooters - Only two wheeler vehicle listed which is driven on street & road. Mini Sport - Mini bikes two wheeler which can be driven on Road. Naked Sport - Naked Bikes/Street bikes which can be drived on street & track. Race Sport - Racing bikes/Moto gp bikes Which is used to drive on track for race purpose. Cruiser - Two wheeler cruiser(Bullet) bikes which can be drived on street & best for tour/long rides. Adventure Sport - Adventure bikes Which is used to ride on Dangerous Road like mountain/plateau/mud & unwanted area. samratbiketech.com/
Does longer riding hours result in sore bumps? How much exactly (in liters) is the boot space? If you have to choose between Vespa VXL 150 and the Aprilia SR 150, which one would you go for? Can you share some comparative statistics of the two? Thank you.
@kartikeya singhee - what do you think of SR 150 success in Indian market ? do you think people will choose sr 150 over other scooters ( keeping in mind they have less dealers and network compared to other )
Hey Mohit! I think it will be successful. But for that it doesn't have to sell in the same scale as other scooters. Piaggio sells only around 3k Vespas a month. HONDA sells in lakhs! I expect the SR to do much better than the Vespa. Easy.
hello Autocar india! My aprillia scooter (sr 150 with abs) engine idle or not working when it is downhills. Use kick starter and electric stater are not working after this. What happened ? hope u r replying me soon
Tvs RTR 150 is also good for short riders, i am 5'5" and 51kg, really skinny fellow and i ride it. Btw, i have seen 5.2" girls riding bikes like Karizma. All u need is confidence
an awesome scooter....i don't want to think much on the practicality......i love the engine 150cc!!....that's awesome.....its cheaper than the vespa!!!...nd better.......it is far better than the maestro edge, activa, activa 125, access 125, dio, ray z, let'z, fascino, alpha, pleasure, activa i, gusto and all the other scooters in the segment......its the best!!!.......nd the main thing is we r getting a 154.4cc engine!!!.....awesome
Hey! Yes you could easily do longer stints on this scooter. The fuel efficiency - will have to wait till we get teh bike for a full test. No company claimed figures available yet.
+Kartikeya Singhee expect the same Figures as the vispa 150. Around 38 to 45. And if you belt it. consider other scooters. Because This one will give you around 34kmpl
Thnx Bro Maine Vespa Ki Site Pe Test Drive Book Karke Iski Bhi Detail Leli Aaj Hi Raksha Bhandhan Pe approx 12 Baje Company Se Call Aaaya Undhone Bhi Yahi Bataya Jo Tumne Bataya Once Again Thanks Brother
I am confuse now a days i m from himachal pradesh and there is some dealership of aprilia so i want to purchase it but some called they have their spare parts problem service cost is more and i previous 2 days i visit aprilia they dont give me the test drive of sr 160 bs 6 they tell that we had no permission to give test ride and on the other side their is tvs entorq race edition plzzz suggest me
Hi.. need your help.. Sunday I saw a man been thrown away by a car.. I helped him to the hospital but what I wish to do is spread awareness about following traffic rules. for which I need volunteers and promotes like u.. volunteers could be your subscribers if we can request them to make Placards saying "Please Cross at signal" and"please use walk over bridge" and can stand at marine drive spread over the distance.. you could do a video of all volunteers and promote the fact that traffic rules should be followed.. please let me know if u wish help.. thank u!
Got this vehicle last week.. unbelievably fast and stable.. lots of torque.. absolute fun to drive..
Italians have a fetish in making driver friendly vehicles.. aprilia giving me the same feeling as my fiat
Only problem.. stiff front suspension.. it's a pain driving it off road

I am using this vehicle for the past 2 yrs... It is one the best vehicle for city ride , ABS is superb... pickup will be amazing...❤ value for money 💰

A scooter ramming a 100 n above speeds is kinda unbelievable to hear.. I feel things a going to change and i wish all the bikes launching in world wide market be made available in India like in Indonesia.
Yeah man!
My Vespa S 125 easily crosses 100 n peaks in at 110, though i didn't race it further. :)
ARUN KANTH true, Malaysia, Indonesia etc

The vibrations in the handlebar & the exhaust note both were certainly deal breakers for me. I was thinking of swapping my motorcycle for this. But.... I'll take the next one!
was waiting for this machine badly
I just got the Vespa 150 SXL, Being like almost 40k expensive than the SR150, It does have a very tough built chassis, but the one thing that is rather better on the SR150 are the big tires, I get every single bump felt with extra elaboration on the Vespa, This one kills em, Which is rather nice since the rain in pune have created an army of potholes.
I am planning to trade my 150 cc unicorn which is 12 years old for this scooter...at this stage i want a scooter than a bike, Will it be a good replacement?
Where can i get it in Kolkata.....and what would be the on road price?
Is it weightless?
Does it suit for ladies?
I have heard that the speedometer is inaccurate, can u do a drag race between vespa 150,access 125 and Aprilia to check the speed and pickup difference..
Aprilla 150 & your review is very good.
But what about after sales service & how many service centers are there in mumbai.
Will we get the spare parts easily?
in mumbai u will get full service from where u will buy
Finally a replacement for 'DioManiacs' like me..
Absolutely! Me too. I'm thinking my wife "needs" a scooter now. Hehhe
Wonderfull Scooty " loved it
do u think this scooter is good 4 hills station ride??
Anup World yes
How about the braking of the scooter??i am about to buy this one and need a suggestion
Hey Kartik please do give your review on Apache RTR 200 4v
can u pls make a video on BMW C 650 sport scooter
Thanks for the review.I am wondering whether this scooter suits for 6.1 ft taller person?
My question too 😀😀
Hey I'm planning to buy it... is it worth of money...?
How is the sound while riding is it loud ??
It is audible. More prominent at lower speeds. Nicer when you get going.
Hello Bro , have been watching all your episodes and you are killing it every time . Have been a great fan of yours , Aprilia episode was too good . Have a question ! I have been using the Honda aviator since 2010 and it's been an wonderful scooter till date no complaints but didn't find any good upgrade for aviator till now , was waiting for the Honda pcx 150 to launch but have no idea when they will launch it . Do you have any clue when the pcx models are gonna launch and is it good to wait for it or shall i upgrade to Aprilia 150 right now . Kindly suggest me . Thanks
Hey Rahul! Well don't have a confirmation on PCX. I think you can take a call keeping in mind that the PCX will be much more expensive.
Please suggest me the best bike with power and mileage
how is the service cost and experience ?
Why there is no review for Suzuki access 125?
Aprilia should also consider selling performance kits for this scooter as an option.
Is aprilia sr150 looking a bit small and thin than other in market..?
when it ll launch in Nepal??...whats the expected nepali currency?
can you tell me launching date in India please.
Allahabad me h? yh scooty
It need twin or central mono rear shock absorber to build up confidence and handle 14 inches wheel easily.
are there any chances of Honda bring cbr300r to India?
Namaste sir. Main Punjab se hu. Sir new scooter lena hai. Honda activa4g or Jupiter or maestro? Konsa better hai? Resale value hamare activa4g ki jayda hai
Thanks to show the price of the aprilla scoot and very good review

Kartikeya Singhee Ya man, the bikes just not for me. Guess Im getting older now 😪
well one of the reason why it is faster than vespa even when both have the same engine is the plastic body.
well, i will still buy it, cause its my first owned two wheeler , before this i used ride an old tvs scooty which had failed breaks and suspension and hardened seats,so comparably i will love any scooter i own next, also i do am an enthusiast of power, style, speed and dont care about mileage, storage, suspension ,etc. so, yeah good for me.
Mamta Sinha then its perfect for you
Does it have a charging point
I have back pain issues with my activa, do u think this bike suspension will be good for Indian roads?
Amazing than other ones in this range. it is really hot than vespa. There will be competition between two 150 cc Italians , that is , piaggio's Vespa and Aprilia 150 SR

Such poor service network of Vespa it will not be able to make a good start at all
Wish could get one.

Hey! Yes you could easily do longer stints on this scooter. The fuel efficiency - will have to wait till we get teh bike for a full test. No company claimed figures available yet.

+Kartikeya Singhee expect the same
Figures as the vispa 150.
Around 38 to 45.
And if you belt it. consider other scooters. Because This one will give you around 34kmpl
