Q. Aprilia SRX 125 vs Aprilia SRX 160 which one is best for daily commuting monthly usage 200km?
  • Both are good in their forte. Aprilia SXR 125 is a feature-rich scooter and comes with a digital instrument cluster, LED illumination, alloy wheels, USB port, combined braking system, etc. If you were wowed by the Aprilia SXR 160’s Italian flair but dejected by its hefty price tag, then the SXR 125 could be an ideal pick. Arguably, the SXR grabs.
