    First showcased in India at the 2016 Auto Expo, the Aprilia SR 150 is a sporty take on a regular scooter. The sportiness in its form is accentuated by the twin headlamps embedded in the front apron and sharp detailing. The turn indicators are placed on*the handle bar.*Aprilia will be offering the SR 150 scooter in two trims in India and both of these are based purely on the colour- Black and White. The scooters showcased at the expo*wore these*two colours.

    Other notable features include the use beefy front forks, 14-inch black alloy wheels with sticky rubber on them and a 220mm front disc brake with 130mm rear drums. As the name suggests, the Aprilia SR 150 has borrowed its 150cc heart from the Vespa 150. We expect it to make about 12PS.

    Expect the Aprilia SR 150 prices to start from Rs 90,000, going all the way to the Rs 1 lakh mark, making it the most expensive scooter in the country today.

        Would grasp attention of some college goers, performance enthusiasts to use it for city runs. Apart from them no would even consider this in India for such a hefty price tag.

        How well does Vespa manage in India? Success or failure?

          Everything is not for everyone!
          Vespa has its niche customer segment. An average Joe might not ride a Vespa but its still there. Specially the 150cc scooter segment in India is almost vacant. SR150 will be there means prospective customers have one more choice. There are people who don't mind spending a few thousands more for more exclusiveness. Also tomorrow if any other manufacturer brings out another 150cc scooter, they will have to keep SR150 in mind and develop/price their product accordingly.

            Yeah I get your first point.

            But apart from 14" wheels and extra beefy forks I don't see anything special here. So why such a hefty price tag for such a slow segment. I hope anything between 80-90k will get good sales.

            Heard rumors about suzuki is ready to bring power scooters in India and testing them already. That segment might be a game changer in India but this one is not unless the price band is right.

              Piaggio is not selling Activas or Accesses. They probably dont want everyone to own this bike. It should have some exclusivity

                      I read it was an introductory pricing. Will probably shoot up 5-10k later on.
