Test Aprilia SR GT Replica: head to the city in racing style and at a very affordable price
Motorsports-inspired cars are nothing new. We also saw motorcycles on the streets with the colors of the participating teams.
If you are looking for a versatile scooter at a very affordable price, the Aprilia SR GT is one of the best options on the market. Especially for higher suspension travel, you can also go off-road, which for many competitors means, if not a stop sign, then at least a significant reduction in speed. The Aprilia SR GT can also handle these pitfalls, thanks to the 14-inch front and 13-inch rear wheels.
All of this applies to standard models. But now we have a feature here. The Aprilia SR GT Replica Edition is inspired by the Aprilia RS-GP racing motorcycle ridden by Alex Espargaró and Maverick Viňales during the 2023 MotoGP World Championship season. That's another league.
The modifications are not limited to the color combination of the bodywork. The scooter also comes with road-oriented tires that are perfect for it. If you want to show your support for one of Aprilia's factory riders, you can also add their starting number to the scooter.
So, how does such a sullen Aprilia drive? Don't expect technological changes. The 125 scooter category does not even allow any major modifications within the legal framework. This means that the output of one cylinder and four valves remains unchanged at 11 kW (15 hp) and the torque is maintained at 12 Nm. On the other hand, it is enough to get around the city. You'll be starting fairly fast from the intersection, don't expect any extra top speed. That is, around the city and in its vicinity.
The combination of the narrow structure and a very sharp front makes it easy to get to the starting point of the traffic jam and you're already winding your way ahead when other vehicles catch up with you. The next column. Trust me, it's very fun and you'll love it. and storage space under the seat and on the left side of the front panel. You can hide your helmet, shopping, or computer in one while you use the other so your phone doesn't weigh too much in your pocket. What about the brakes? They use chainrings on both wheels, so the chainrings bite them quickly and you don't have to worry about wilting. Instead, prepare for a pleasantly sharp start and provide a clear dose for a calming stop.
Although the Aprilia SR GT Replica scooter doesn't bring any technical improvements other than road tires and chainrings, and more of a visual problem, it still finds its supporters. There's always something about it when you drive a machine that looks like a top racer and consumes less than 3 litres of fuel per 100 kilometers!
