Bike Review: 2022 Aprilia SR GT 125 Adventure Scooter 

I like your channel Scottish zoomer! How is the scooter holding up? I had a medley 125 in 2020, then bought a royal enfield 650, love the bike, but i drive a lot in the city, and i think I will go back to 125s. I have to choose between a forza 125 and a aprilia st125 gt.

@@at9670 Hi, thanks for your message, glad you are enjoying my channel. The SR GT is holding up perfectly so far, no issues at all despite the nasty weather we’ve had here recently. It’s a lovely bike to ride, probably the best 125 I’ve owned in terms if ride quality and handling. I can’t knock Honda, I’ve had several of their scoots over the years and never a problem with any of them. The Forza is a good looking scoot but a bit too bulky for me, I prefer the more streamlined SR GT, especially for city riding.

@@scottishzoomer thanks for the answer. Only other thing i would like to ask you, how tall are you? When i had the Medley, the handlebars would touch my knees from lock to lock (i'm 6"2 /188cm) and that sometimes impaired the city carving capabilities. Thanks, have a wonderful time!

@@at9670 I’m 6’2” as well, plenty of room on the SR GT, knees well clear of any problems

@@scottishzoomer I'm thinking of getting an ST GT 125 in the next few weeks. I've stubbornly stuck to 2 strokes all these years, but I'm finally giving up on mine. I have an Italjet Dragster 172cc tunes scooter, and I do adore it, but I've put so many miles into it over 15 years, its just starting to fall to bits now and each year costs me more and more. I spent £2000 on it this last year on fully rebuilding the engine with all new parts and a bunch of other stuff, and now the frame has snapped, so I'm giving up. I know I'm never going to get the same speed and power as my Dragster, but would you say the SR feels on the more sporty side for a modern 125 scoot? Just want something reliable but that's also good fun to ride so I can still go out on days just having fun sometimes. I've thought about the new Dragster, but its £1200 more expensive and puts out 12.5bhp in comparison to the SRs 15bhp. I'd appreciate any feedback or advice. Cheers.

How well did your rear tyre last?

The engine is originally from the medley, engine doesn't last more then 50,000km. Expensive service and lack of cheap peaces. PCX and nmax can reach easily 100,000 km. Remember that .

​@@gerryattrickbiker lasted for 6000miles.

​@@mehdigharbi8804 odd because I've had an nmax which developed an engine problem. Scooter was maintained regularly and on top often way before. Pcx lasted with 65,788miles. My sr gt has now 72,312miles. Zero issues. Still on original cylinder. Crank. Even my vespa 250 has 85k miles. ZERO issues

Hi there - Zane is 183cm tall. Cheers.

It's bigger than pcx and nmax. Dont forget this isn't a maxi scooter

That’s why I changed it to YSS for 400€…
