  • Is the Aprilia 125 comfortable ?

    Hello All
    I am thinking of buying an Aprilia Scooter for different reasons.
    I ride a Gixxer and the hard supension hurts my back as well as my nether regions.

    I ride 16 KMS that takes about 1h30 mins to cover - really bad traffic.
    I would like to buy a bike/scooter ASAP.

    My options :
    a. buy the most comfy bike - Passion Pro. Downside is that they don't sell Disk models (which I want). Really hard to get one. 110cc Passion pro will be sold in April.
    b. Scooter - either Access 125 or Vespa VXL 125. These have 10 inch rear wheels which I am concerned won't handle potholes well. What I like about these scoots is they have a flat seat - not inclined ones.

    Enter the Aprilia with 14-inch wheels.
    I took a 5 minute test ride (of SR150) but I can't judge if it will be as comfortable as an Access for 90 minutes.

    I will buy the 125cc model if I decide to.
    How bad is its comfort?
    Any help?

      What makes you think scooters have better suspension?

      Also did you try adjusting the Monoshock for softer setup?

      Comfort is a very subjective matter. You wanna test it yourself rather than going by someones words.

        Between my Gixxer and Activa 125 , the gixxer has the better comfort. Again it's a personal opinion.

        You can hire a scooter for a day or two to judge on comfort level on offer.
        And I think the aprilia scooters are stiffly sprung as they are marketed as sporty scooters.
