Q. Is Aprilia SXR 160 best?

For a scooter that will likely demand a price of over Rs 1.25 Lakh (ex-showroom), the SXR 160 doesn’t really present a strong case for itself. In the case of the SR 160, its stiff suspension setup and lack of pillion comfort put off a lot of buyers. Aprilia had a chance to fix that with the SXR, but it seems that the Italian brand has missed the mark. While the SXR is a lot more practical and easier to live with than the SR, the difference isn’t enough to do justice to the maxi styling or the maxi pricing. A customer looking for the comfort of a maxi-scooter could certainly opt for the Suzuki Burgman Street with its bluetooth-enabled console, which is priced at Rs 84,786 (ex-showroom Delhi), or wait for the Honda PCX 125 that’s likely to come next year. If you were looking at an Aprilia, then we’d much rather recommend the SR, which at least makes up for its lack of practicality and comfort with its outright sportiness.
