Recently Asked User Questions

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. On the other hand, Aprilia SXR 160 if you want something that is big, comfy and feature-loaded, you could save a huge chunk of money and get the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 instead. The only reason why you would want to get this scooter then is to have an Aprilia in your garage--and even then it isn’t the most cost-conscious way to go about it. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. How does Aprilia SXR 160 and Burgman compete?
  • Selecting the right scooter would depend on several factors such as your budget preference, features required, cabin space, engine options, brand preference, etc. If you’re in the market for a sporty, premium, and ‘hatke’ scooter, the SXR 160 could be the one to pick. However, it is one of the most expensive scooters on sale, and given its performance and features and we don’t think it justifies the premium pricing. If you’re in the market for a maxi-style scooter, our suggestion will be to opt for the Suzuki Burgman Street as it offers more space, comfort, and fuel efficiency while being significantly more affordable. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

    extra power with extra style 

    Theres my family member who had quite recently purchased Aprilia SXR 160 and it really seems to be a lot beneficial to him. He briefed me about this bike and his experience with it. Listening to which even i had made up my mind to buy this one on the occasion of Diwali this year. It is an attractive bike model, with a fair range of price. The safety equipment comes with all the required elements. Superb structure, the exterior is aesthetic and the interior is quite spacy and comfortable.

    Premium scooter 

    Recently i bought Aprilia SXR 160 . It is a unique scooter offering a blend of maxi-scooter comfort, sporty design, and a powerful 160cc engine. It features a large windscreen for wind protection, a comfortable seat with ample legroom which provides me a comfortable ridning positon, sporty wheels, and comes in a variety of color options. Overall it is an excellent choice for riders seeking a feature-rich and powerful . However it does not provide adequate power.

    A Stylish Commuter 

    Having owned the Aprilia SXR 160 for the past few months, I had a mixed bag of experiences. Right off the bat, this scooter commands attention with its sleek Italian styling and impressive build quality. Powered by a vigorous 160cc ,3 valve engine it churns out about 10 HP which makes it one of the most powerful scooters in its segment. The pickup is remarkable and it cruises smoothly at high speeds without much vibration.However, while it excels in performance, it is equally heavy on the pocket. Clocking in at around 40 km/l, the fuel efficiency is not going to win any awards.

    Delightful package ride 

    The Aprilia SXR 160 is a delightful mix of style and performance, sporting Italian design and massive engineering. The 160cc engine gives a nice pickup while consuming less fuel. The roomy seat and additional storage cater for practicality, the ideal choice for urban riders. On the other hand, a firm suspension can be uncomfortable on rough roads, and excessive price might deter some customers. Overall, the SXR 160 gives you a good riding experience with its appealing design and exciting performance. It therefore is a good option if you want both a good looking and good performing scooter.

    Brillant performance 

    Aprilia SXR 160 is a maxi style scooter that is popular for its design and is a proper sporty and aggressive style scooter that really look like a bike but the rear mirror view is not good. The seat has enough space and it has a very linear torque and power and the performance is brillant but give some vibration and the seat is not comfortable. It is quite smooth and the tyre grips actually well but the suspension is hard for that feel bumps and for comfort this scooter is not good.

    I've been riding an Aprilia 

    I've been riding an aprilia sxr 160 for two years now, And clocked 20k kilometers.This is my honest take on the so-called maaxi scooter from the italian manufacturer.The vehicle is an instant head-turner for its unique style.I personally don't like the whole package but loves the look from the front, Especially the glowing head.Positivs first: it has amazing ride comfort, Beautifulstance, Economical if you drive under 40.Cons: they don't sell a lot of this model, So it's incredibly difficult to find parts.The after sales service is pathetic; i changed the service stations (in kerala) three times because technicians are careless, Clueless, Unresponsive, And unethical.One service center broke my bike's visor replacement of which is non existant.The key loose issue is prevalent across all aprilia vehicles.It could cause your vehicle stop abruptly during ride, Super dangerous.Batteries died like after 8 months, After i didn't able to ride the bike for like 4 days straight.The seat storage buckle is easily gets damaged and you cannot close the lid because the seat is designed to drag you to the tip.Fuel meter is ridiculous, It never shows the exact fuel.Sometimes you start riding and it shows 3 bars and 1 kilometers in, It goes back to low fuel.So you need to make a lot of calculations to get the fuel right.The pass light button is bit hard to use and sometimes malfunctions.And the fuel economy is terrible, Probably under 30 kmpl if you drive over 48kms if you're going to buy this vehicle, I'd suggest going through this checklist1.Check all the service stations ratings on google maps.If the ratings is below 4, Please bear in mind, You're going tonhabe a pathetic aftersales service.2.Parts are not easily available.To an extent it's not available at all.So, If you are buying this to daily commute that results in the vehicle with wear and tear, Don't buy.3.Be prepared for the loose keyset.The vehicle will stop, Won't self start, Would stop all in a sudden putting you in real danger.4.This is not economical at all.Expect frequent visits to petrol stations.

    My Real-World Experience  

    Having ridden the TVS Apache RTR 180 for a few months now, I found that it has robust performance and striking design. The bike's 177.4 cc engine delivering a power of 16 PS at 8500 rpm, provides a thrilling ride, specially suitable for quick city commutes and occasional highway sprints. The torque of 15.5 Nm at 7000 rpm also means that the bike has enough power to get moving quickly from a standstill.Handling is another area where the Apache RTR 180 shines, thanks to its responsive chassis and suspension setup.

    Honest review 

    I bought apache rtr 180 with dual disk brakes in january 2016.Yesterday i sold the bike.I will write my honest review about the bike.First good things, Its speed and power.Before apache i had pulsar 180 but i must say apache is far better than pulsar in terms of speed & power.I also like the sound a lot.Ride quality is good.Now bad things.First of all is mileage.Its really depressing to get 30-35 kmpl when petrol is 90rs per litter.No matter how much servicing maintenance i did, It gave me 35kmpl only and for last one year i am getting 30kmpl.Be it in city or highway.Secondly rusting.Tvs should really look into this matter.There are rusts in so many under areas.No other bike gets rusty within 3 years.Thirdly the brakes & grip isn't something which gives you confidence at high speed.Once it skided on a completely dry road and i fell down.Luckily i was only at 50kmph so nothing serious happened.Thanks to helmet.Fourth : vibration.It really gets into your nerves after a year.You loose all confidence to go faster.Thats all guys.
