Aprilia SR SBK ditech 50

i think that this is an amazing bike, it looks great, handles great and has amazing top speed for a scooter. many people when they see this sort off scooter automaticy know that it is an aprilia, for the sound i dont think scooters sound great but this sort has a deeper sound than most which makes them stand out. on the bad side, they get hot easly which slows them down on acceleration, and if you damage a part they are hard to find a replacement, which will cost when you do. they also give great fuel consumption when left standard aswell. 4/5 on this bike

I think its a very good bike, quite fast, my Aprilia sr50 di-tech is yellow and black and I quite love it and most I've seen look really nice, you don't really need performance upgrades seeing as its really good bike anyways but never the less its always fun to.

I do recommend this bike to anyone who wants a good scooter.

I have a 2003 Aprilia SR di-tech and I love it its superior handling and grip make an easy bike to chuck into fast corners and good brakes make for an altogether more satisfing ride and good runaround.

My Aprilia SR50 di-tec was the rare white and black and golden lion colours, I bought it second hand 2 years old. It looked in very good condition when I bought it, only 5500 km on the clock! then next day my exhaust just decided to snap in half, even though it was still like new! Then after waiting 4 weeks for another to come from Aprilia in Italy, they sent wrong one, so I bought one off a brand new stolen recovered bike from a bike breakers, so after then I thought things were looking up, then it starts mis-firing badly! I had found out from my research that this is a very common thing with the di-tecs, (I use to have a carburetter model before and that seemed good, wish I had never got rid of it) anyway so it turns out the whole engine was knackered! In total cost me £450 to have all engine rebuild, and then my water pump started to fail, then once that sorted my oil pump started to fail, so in total I spent £600 on her, and you know what I woudn't have one again! My friend had one and he sold his because his engine packed up, exact reason, and his was the 2003 model which has the Suzuki engine in, and the 2004 model has the Piaggio engine in, his was failing badly, and we both took care of aour bikes and never thrashed them honestly! so all I will say to you is if you can an Aprilia SR50 get the carboretta model. Why? Because there a lot more reliable they don't have all the bad fuel injection system! And they're a lot simpler to fix if they go wrong.

I now have a Peugeot Speedfight 100cc and so far it's been GREAT! No problems at all thats a 2005 55 plate done 7710 km and I would recommend Peugeot.

The Aprilia SR SBK ditech 50 is awesome to ride, excellent if you de-restrict it, can reach up to 60mph without a sports pipe!! The fuel consumption is astonishing, 100+mpg!!!

The only real problem is that it can be hard to get plastics off to change parts, eg bulbs!!

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!

The Aprilia SR is a great machine but deserves a little bit more respect even if it's expensive. For only a scooter it's fast in fact I reached top speed a whopping 99 kmh.
