★★★★★

written by HICO on 11/09/2008

My Aprilia habana 125 Retro is easy to handle and easy to use. Very reliable and is great for commuting. It is now 5 years old and has 9800 miles on the clock, the exhaust is still in good shape with visual exterior rust, but still solid. Overal exelent bike with good exeleration for a scooter and exelent handling.

“I've ridden motorbikes for years until recently I...”

written by EastEndofLondon on 07/08/2008

I've ridden motorbikes for years until recently I bought a flat so needed to sell my pride and joy (Honda CBR 600). I decided that my commute was only 7 miles and I was limited to 40mph on local roads so went for the scooter option. I have no complaints at all about the Aprilia Habana. I have ridden to Stansted airport from London and top speed was about 75-80mph on a long downhill. It felt stable enough on the motorway but i wouldnt do it every day as you need to keep the speed up around 80 mph maxed out these days all the time to feel totally safe around other road users. I hadto get the 125 and it's surprisingly quick. Off the lights it pulls away nicely and is very easy to ride. You can't ride it like a motorbike round corners due to the exhaust positioning but it handles very well indeed. TPFT insurance was about £150 for a year and tax is £15! A full tank costs £6/7 and lasts about 100 miles. Only small complaint is the speedo is in Kmh and can be a bit of a pain working out the speed approaching speed cameras. What else can I say - I love it! One bit of advice is don't buy one that needs work doing as it can be expensive. They're very cheap second hand anyway so dont be tight and pay a little bit extra for a good one or get a bargain on ebay like me. Happy riding!

★★★★★

written by mores on 21/05/2008

I bought my Aprilia Habana because of it's prominent rear end. No kidding!
It has the ideal proportions for me, it's a classic, retro style scooter with enough power to ride smoothly.
I love it dearly and even after 7 years I couldn't say there's another scooter I'd prefer.

★★★★★

written by jarlath on 29/01/2008

The Aprilia Habana is the most stylish bike in Belfast. I bought mine beginning of last summer and I use it daily. And in Ireland, that is some feat. I have just came back fom a trip from Slovakia to Belfast via Dublin. Not a problem. It took me and two very full saddle bags, bit of a wide vehicle. Only problem was my back. Parts wise, just get on the web and don't be in too much of a rush.

“Firstly the bike is called a Mojito in Australia, I'm...”

★★★★★

written by timbo247 on 11/04/2007

Firstly the bike is called a Mojito in Australia, I'm not sure if this is the same everywhere now. Also I'll point out that I've got the 150cc model not the 125 or 50. I don't think the 150 is available new and the last one's produced were 2005. This is my first scooter but having tested out a few others this is one of the only one's that gives me sufficient leg room. The Vespa's have got the name but that's about it in comparison - every time I turned the handlebars they'd hit my knees!
I'd recommend the bike to anyone!

“I bought the Aprilia Habana 125 last week and its the...”

★★★★★

written by robthebiker on 15/03/2007

I bought the Aprilia Habana 125 last week and its the best bike I've ever had, very fast and sounds and looks very cool, people have been saying that the speedo cable keeps snapping because its too tight, but this can be easily slackened off by breaking the seals on that stupidly placed rubber stopper halfway down the cable by sliding a flat head screwdriver under it, then sliding the stopper down. Problem solved. This bike is very fast I have reached 70mph in about 7 seconds! It starts first time every time, and the Aprilia locking bolt is a stroke of genius. One downside about the Aprilia is finding parts for it, does anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced performance pipe for it? I would recommend this bike to anyone.

Hey I have bought a pm tuning exhaust for my 125 Mojito. Have not put it on yet as I am waiting for parts from Aprilia. I live in the UK and so far I have waited 2 weeks.

I bought the Aprilia Habana 50 just over 1 year ago. It has been great up till January this year. Speedo cable broke. Brand new replacement broke when fitted by mechanic at garage. Next cable fitted and lasted 2 months. Third cable snapped 3 weeks ago. New one supplied and fitted free of charge. I have been advised to contact Aprilia direct if happens again. It must be a manufacturers fault. Pity as I have been thoroughly enjoying the bike

This Aprilia Habana 125 is my first scooter - I wanted something different from all those chavy scooters and this is definitely it. I don't work for Aprilia by the way (lol) I just really enjoy this wee bike. If you wanna know anything else feel free to leave me a comment.

Very helpful! I'm from Bangor and I'm trying to find a scooter that doesn't have the bad looks but doesn't cost as much as a Vespa! Do you mind if I ask where you bought it? Appreciate your help.

★★★★★

written by tinalove on 04/01/2006

The Aprilia Habana 125 is my main set of wheels and I've used it for journeys of between 2 and 30 miles. It serves me very well and has never broken down.
My only real problem has been with the speedo cable, which snapped after I 'd had the bike for about a year and a half.
It's quite nippy and can cruise at 65 - 70 mph, essential for riding on A roads. I find the handling easy.

I have been riding my second hand Aprilia Habana 125 for a year now, I love it, it's my first scooter. Does anyone know where to get Oil for the bike, I have been told I need Rock oil Syn 4 5/40? Today for the first time my oil indicator winked at me.

You can solve the problem of the breaking speedo by moving that rubber stopper that is halfway down the cable down, you can do it by sliding a flat head screwdriver under it to break the seals and it will just slide down easy.

“If image is of importance , this Aprilia Habana 125...”

★★★★★

written by phoenix 59 on 31/01/2005

If image is of importance , this Aprilia Habana 125 scooter has it, also ride comfort, except in a stong headwind or sidewind due to the Cruiser riding position. Performance is pretty good, and I can maintain 70mph at a stretch, a very comfortable scooter to ride, however the handling takes some getting used to, again due to the ride position and wide handlebars, especially cornering. The black and chrome model is the best looker I believe, service costs are high, and the first thing to go will be the front speedo cable, due to the fact that it is to tight/short and will break off due to the suspension travel, my dealer said this is common. Otherwise a cool scooter.

written by stutan on 23/06/2004

I returned to 2 wheels just over 2 years ago, but our scoot (aprillia Habana 125) is really for my wife, but between us we've put 4,450km on the scoot, and we love it. It's never let us down, even when you stop at the traffic lights you can sense someone is looking at you, and when you turn and look around, other motorist and their passengers are quite possitively talking, pointing at the scoot, makes you wonder if they are about to go home and find out where their local scoot shop is....to order one. My only gripe, is the cost of service, my car is picked up and delivered back to me cleaned, serviced, all for £65.00 the scoot however is, £85+parts+vat total about £130. Ripoff dealers take note!!!

Written on: 11/09/2006

HI, I have had my Habana 125 now for 4 years, and I am reading reviews to see what the general opinion is about this scooter. Yes, the looks are great, no doubt, but boy have I had trouble with my scooter! I'd say it's not reliable at all (only the first year it was rocking!!); speedo cable: yes first to go, and the battery: what a nightmare position it's put in!! And the costs are immense when it comes to spares and service. I have just had a service and MOT done and it came to a total of over £350! 2 weeks later it broke down again!! Teary eyed (and with an empty pocket) I am looking for a new scooter and thinking of getting another make. Has anyone had the same problems or has mine just been one of a few unlucky production models?
