Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Aprilia SRX 125 vs Aprilia SRX 160 which one is best for daily commuting monthly usage 200km?
  • Both are good in their forte. Aprilia SXR 125 is a feature-rich scooter and comes with a digital instrument cluster, LED illumination, alloy wheels, USB port, combined braking system, etc. If you were wowed by the Aprilia SXR 160’s Italian flair but dejected by its hefty price tag, then the SXR 125 could be an ideal pick. Arguably, the SXR grabs. On the other hand, Aprilia SXR 160 if you want something that is big, comfy and feature-loaded, you could save a huge chunk of money and get the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 instead. The only reason why you would want to get this scooter then is to have an Aprilia in your garage--and even then it isn’t the most cost-conscious way to go about it. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which one is better Apache 160 or apace 180?
  • TVS has dealt with the Apache RTR 160 performance issue and has now made the bike near-perfect, well, except of course those raised eye-brow-like DRLs, which we think are a polarizing aspect of the design. Factor in the kind of equipment and features on offer, and it becomes a no-brainer if you’ve got performance on your mind. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 180 is a fun-to-ride motorcycle with quick handling dynamics and a range of safety features. The razor-sharp handling makes it a hoot to ride and it is a value-for-money vehicle. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Q. How does Aprilia SXR 160 and Burgman compete?
  • Selecting the right scooter would depend on several factors such as your budget preference, features required, cabin space, engine options, brand preference, etc. If you’re in the market for a sporty, premium, and ‘hatke’ scooter, the SXR 160 could be the one to pick. However, it is one of the most expensive scooters on sale, and given its performance and features and we don’t think it justifies the premium pricing. If you’re in the market for a maxi-style scooter, our suggestion will be to opt for the Suzuki Burgman Street as it offers more space, comfort, and fuel efficiency while being significantly more affordable. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
