Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Shall I buy Aprilia SR125 or TVS Ntorq125?
  • If you're looking for a fast, fun to ride and feature-rich scooter, the TVS Ntorq 125 is the right choice for you. It still remains the benchmark for performance in its class and the sporty styling adds to its appeal. On the other and, the Storm 125 then does really seem like an Aprilia better suited for our harsh roads. The suspension soaks up bumps better than the SR and the block-pattern tyres rarely lose traction. We would have definitely loved to have more features on board but that would have only driven up the price further. The engine continues to be a small letdown. The lack of excitement from the motor doesn’t sit well with Aprilia’s racing ethos and maybe the technicians at Noale need to spend some more hours on it. The biggest hurdle for the Storm 125, though, remains its price. Hence, justifying spending the extra moolah is quite difficult. If you are in the market for something exciting in this segment, then the Yamaha RayZR 125 or the TVS NTorq 125 make better sense. You may compare both scooters accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
Q. I'm 60 years old. I'm looking for a scooter with comfortable riding position with large wheels. Since I'm having back pain suggest me a good scooter for me?
  • As per your requirements, the Aprilia SR 125 could prove to be a good option. Seating comfort is always one of the top priorities while opting for a scooter. The seat comfort on the SR 125 is a bit on the firmer side, so those used to plush scooter seats will find it takes a bit of getting used to. But that said, it isn’t uncomfortable by any means. Lengthwise, the seat looks small, but surprisingly there’s a decent amount of room for even someone on the heavier side. The overall seating posture is pretty good and while the handlebars don’t quite feel tall, they never interfere with the rider’s knees when taking U-turns. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership detals.
Q. My daily usage 50km in city, so shill I go for Aprilia SR 125, Access 125 or shill wait till TVS Creon. Please suggest me I need my every ride should good in all comfort, handling, braking and millage.
  • Aprilia sr 125 , storm 125 ,sr 150 (2019 all bs 4 versions) in all these models are equipped with faulty drum brakes, these have CBS system which is completely ridiculous, in terms of engine performance this scooter is very good but when brakes are faulty and not at all prompt then no need to consider those vehicle which have max power but failed to Stop machine promptly, if you are paying extra from all its rivalry segments then its waste for money.....i tried to communicate so many times in written to company but they call us in service center with no solution...there are several reasons why company cannot survive in market and have to bind-up their setup due to their silly mistakes, we have several examples in indian market.. there is no comparison of Activa, access with this scooter and its balancing but due to faulty brakes it gives bitter taste...
