Aprilia SR 125 — Overview

The Aprilia SR 125 is a scooter available at a price range of Rs. 1,13,290 - Rs. 1,14,370 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 7 colours. It is powered by a 124.45 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 40 kmpl. With front disc and rear drum brakes, the Aprilia SR 125 comes with combined braking system on both wheels. The SR 125 scooter weighs 118 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 6 liters. It develops a power output of 9.97 bhp and a torque of 10.33 Nm.

The Aprilia SR 125 is the most distinctively styled 125cc scooter in India - a Race-inspired, full-fairing sporty scooter built at Piaggio's Pune facility, carrying Aprilia's Italian motorsport identity into a segment dominated by practical Japanese and Indian commuters. Priced from Rs 1,15,900 ex-showroom Delhi, it competes with the TVS NTorq 125, Honda Activa 125, and Suzuki Access 125 on specification, and differentiates itself through brand identity, aggressive aesthetics, and a 102 kg kerb weight that keeps city riding nimble. It is the right scooter for a buyer who wants something that stands apart visually and values the Aprilia name - with a clear-eyed understanding that the 125cc engine performs similarly to every other scooter in its class.

Aprilia SR 125 Latest Updates

View all
  • Piaggio India has confirmed the Aprilia SR 125 pricing for 2026 at Rs 1,15,900 (SR 125) and Rs 1,29,900 (SR 125 Race) ex-showroom Delhi - a marginal revision since the scooter's 2021 India launch. No mechanical changes, new variants, or feature additions have been announced for the Indian market. The 124.45cc FI engine, CBS braking on both variants, and front disc brake on the Race variant remain unchanged. Both variants continue as made-in-India products from Piaggio's Pune manufacturing facility.

What We Like

  • Aprilia's Italian motorsport brand identity at Rs 1,15,900 - unique in the 125cc scooter segment
  • Race-inspired bodywork: the most distinctively styled 125cc scooter in India by a wide margin
  • 102 kg - one of the lightest premium 125cc scooters, giving nimble city handling
  • Front disc brake with CBS standard on SR 125 Race variant
  • Full digital instrument cluster - more modern display than semi-analogue rivals
  • Made in India at Piaggio Pune - competitive pricing for an Italian-branded product

What Could Be Better

  • 43 kmpl ARAI - significantly lower than Honda Activa 125 (63 kmpl) and Yamaha Fascino 125 (66 kmpl); fuel costs are higher for equivalent daily use
  • 5.5-litre tank gives approximately 210-230 km range - requires more frequent fill-ups than rivals with larger tanks
  • Piaggio India service network thin outside major cities - the biggest practical ownership risk
  • Performance does not match the sporty visual promise - 9.35 PS is similar to all 125cc rivals; it looks faster than it is
  • Resale value trails Honda Activa 125 significantly in the used market
  • No Bluetooth connectivity in any variant - the TVS NTorq 125 with SmartXonnect has this advantage

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Aprilia SR 125?

The Aprilia SR 125 is the choice for a buyer who wants their 125cc scooter to make a visual statement and values the Italian brand identity that no Japanese or Indian rival can offer at this price. The riding experience is 125cc scooter standard - the Race branding is about aesthetics, not performance. The Honda Activa 125 is significantly more fuel-efficient, the TVS NTorq 125 has Bluetooth and more performance personality, and both have vastly better service coverage. Buy the SR 125 with clear eyes: it is the most fashionable choice, not the most practical one.

Frequently Asked Questions

QIs Aprilia SR 125 worth buying in 2026?
Yes, if Italian brand identity and distinctive styling are important to you. The SR 125 is the most visually unique 125cc scooter in India and carries genuine Aprilia motorsport DNA. However, if practicality drives the decision - fuel efficiency, service network coverage, resale value - the Honda Activa 125 and TVS NTorq 125 are stronger choices. Buy the SR 125 for what it is, not what it looks like it should be.
QWhat is the mileage of Aprilia SR 125?
The Aprilia SR 125 returns 43 kmpl under ARAI test conditions. In real-world city riding, expect 38-42 kmpl. The 5.5-litre tank gives a practical range of approximately 210-230 km per fill-up. This is notably lower than the Honda Activa 125 (63 kmpl ARAI) and Yamaha Fascino 125 (66 kmpl) - the SR 125's sporty tuning trades fuel efficiency for its performance orientation.
QWhat is the difference between Aprilia SR 125 and SR 125 Race?
The SR 125 Race (Rs 1,29,900) upgrades the base SR 125 (Rs 1,15,900) with a front disc brake (replacing drum front), more aggressive Race-specific graphics and body colour options, and minor cosmetic additions. The engine, electronics, and fundamental specification are identical. The Rs 14,000 premium of the Race variant is for the front disc brake - a worthwhile safety upgrade - and the more dramatic visual treatment.
QDoes Aprilia SR 125 have Bluetooth?
No. The Aprilia SR 125 does not have Bluetooth connectivity in any variant. The instrument cluster is a full digital display but has no smartphone pairing capability. The TVS NTorq 125 with SmartXonnect has Bluetooth across its range - if connectivity is important, the NTorq has a clear advantage over the SR 125.
QAprilia SR 125 vs TVS NTorq 125 - which is better?
The TVS NTorq 125 wins on performance personality (more aggressive engine character, better top-speed feel), Bluetooth connectivity with SmartXonnect, TVS's stronger service network, and better resale value. The Aprilia SR 125 wins on brand identity - Aprilia's Italian motorsport heritage is unique at this price - and the Race variant's disc brake is standard, not optional. For daily practicality: NTorq 125. For Italian brand distinctiveness: SR 125.
QAprilia SR 125 vs Honda Activa 125 - which to buy?
The Honda Activa 125 wins on almost every practical metric: 63 kmpl vs 43 kmpl mileage, Honda's unmatched service network depth, significantly better resale value, and proven long-term reliability. The Aprilia SR 125 wins on visual differentiation and brand exclusivity - it is far more distinctive on the road. If running costs, serviceability, and resale value matter most: Activa 125 by a wide margin. If you want a scooter that stands out: SR 125.
QWhat is the on-road price of Aprilia SR 125?
The Aprilia SR 125 ex-showroom price starts at Rs 1,15,900 in Delhi. On-road price including RTO registration, insurance, and handling charges typically reaches Rs 1,37,000-1,43,000 for the base variant. The SR 125 Race at Rs 1,29,900 ex-showroom reaches approximately Rs 1,51,000-1,57,000 on-road in Delhi. Contact your nearest Aprilia dealer for an exact current quote.
QIs Aprilia SR 125 made in India?
Yes. The Aprilia SR 125 is manufactured at Piaggio India's facility in Pune, Maharashtra. This local production is what makes the Rs 1,15,900 price possible - an imported Italian product would cost significantly more. Piaggio India also produces the Aprilia SR 160 and Vespa range at the same facility.
