Piaggio India has tasted a fair amount of success with the Aprillia SR 150. Basically, the SR 150 is being promoted as India’s first ‘sport-scooterbike’ and fits the bill for those looking for a fun-to-ride automatic scooter. The 150cc automatic scooter has been on sale for a price of Rs 68,806 (Ex-showroom, New Delhi). And now rumours have suddenly started abounding the web space that even the Aprilia SR 125 India launch isn’t too far in the offing. Various reports indicate that the SR 125cc is already in India for homologation.
In terms of looks, the SR 125 looks much like its 150cc sibling. The only visual difference arises out of the different set of stickers. The Aprilia SR 125 gets its juice from a 125cc single-cylinder engine that comes along with a CVT. This motor outputs 9.5 BHP and 8.2 Nm. The upcoming automatic scooter in India is likely to cost considerably lesser than its 150cc singling. Expect prices to start around Rs 60,000 mark.

Aprilia SR 125 India Launch Date
| Launch Date (expected) | September 2017 |
The Aprilila SR 125cc model could launch around Diwali this year. We’re expecting a September 2017 launch date in India. Spy images of the upcoming 125cc automatic scooter have already started surfacing on the web space. It looks like the scooter is in the final phase of testing and not too far from its market launch. Once launched the new scooter will go on to rival everything from a Honda Activa 125 to Piaggio Vespa 125 series. Honestly, we just can’t wait for the launch of this scooter. If the SR 150 is anything to go by, even its smaller 125cc sibling should be somewhat of a hoot to ride.
