Thanks a lot for the details.. I got the quote from Kolkata dealer today and looks fishy.

ExShowroom price is 71,493/-
Insurance - 2129/-
RTO (Registration + Lifetime Road Tax) - 15,056/- looks too high
Smart Card - 550/-
H.S.R.P - 500/- ( I don't know what??)
On-road - 89,729/-

Looks like something is being cooked at the dealership and I will write to Aprilia to clarify as road tax isn't so high in Kolkata. They are cooking up stories around foreign brand, temp registration, 150cc etc.

Also, the dealership told that whoever booked it from the dealership will get it in first batch of 16 bikes arriving on 3rd Oct. While I received a call today from Aprilia (2nd call) to confirm that they are dispatching my bike and dealership will do rest of formalities. I will include this as well in my email to Aprilia.

Can some x-bhpians please help me get quotations from others parts of India.. I want to compare this RTO piece. Can't digest this 15k roadtax. It will be of great help. Even can you share the same for Pune.

all i can tell you is you all gonna love this thing to the core! Spot on handling, striking looks and not so good mileage..

I had filled it to the brim and when i refilled it took down 4.75L of petrol. The distance covered was 176.

Mileage calculation looks like this:

176kms/4.75L = 37kmpl


Its decent number for the power and considering i have ridden two up mostly. Certainly it will improve after first service but then its not going to be economical by any means....

That asks me to make three points more,

1. It is ideal to ride alone mostly for better part of your first 1000 kms.. since engine is new, you shouldn't be loading with extra stress when it is setting in.
2. The service. and this is a little bitter part. You get 4 free and 5 paid services, meaning every alternate service is chargeable. The odd numbers are free (1,3,5,7). Service cost i shall give an update as I go for first service.
3. The Pune Motoplex showroom has started stocking accessories it seems. Today i saw a aprilia branded helmet with SR150 embossing. The thing carried a price tag of INR 2744/-. Padding seemed fine but its Vega make. The graphics are super cool but then sturdiness will have to be seen.

and yes, be prepared for a stiffly suspended ride.. The scoot is not shoulder friendly on bad roads.

Hi,

Just want to understand few things before I take the delivery of SR 150

1. Whether the Engine and Gear Box Oil is filled in by the Factory or at the dealership ? Have you inspected it during the time of delivery?
2. What are the accessories you added up to the scooter ? Did the dealership supply ladies footrest similar to other scooters ?

I do not think the oils would be filled at dealership level, the bike should come pre-filled from factory. Did not see it being done at least.
I was charged some Rs 800 for compulsory accessories that included side stand and sarree guard which is mandated by RTO. Ladies footrest will be ad-on accessory and will be chargeable. You get normal pillion footrest which tuck in nicely in the pockets integrated in body.
[MENTION=48081]jyoti247[/MENTION] please check the pricing on Paytm. It still shows price as 65,000 ex showroom. You could book from there.

Few updates on the bike.
Rear indicators changed to LED's
From KTM / Bajaj

Cost of KTM indicators?

KTM ₹600 per piece
Bajaj ₹550 per piece

Do they blink at normal speed or faster than stock? Generally when changed to LED , resistors will be installed or flasher relay should be changed.

Congrats!!!

Does anyone have some pictures of the Aprilia branded Vega helmets that Aprilia is offering..

I am down with kidney stone and hospitalized.
Will get discharged tomorrow. Shall click pics and post here by Saturday
