Very good balance

The Aprilia Sportcity 125 is light enough to be very manageable in traffic and powerful enough to be a lot of fun at relatively low speeds (top speed around 60 mph). Solid and reassuring to ride, predictable handling (thanks to the biggish wheels and tires) and good fit and finish. If you need to go... on the highway, get something with more high-end hp, but this is great for commuting or just for fun. I spend about two hours a day on mine commuting and have had no mechanical problems or issues whatsoever. Read Full Review

Perfect size for the city

I own this scooter. It has a high tech engine with a 12:1 compression ratio and requires 92 octane (US ratings). Since there is no 92, you should use 93. The good news is it still gets excellent mileage (80 mpg) and blows away other 4 stroke 125s. Acceleration puts you out in front of most traffic a...nd the top speed is 62 mph on level ground. It works everywhere except the interstate. The price is excellent. I paid $2100 for a new 2009 OUT THE DOOR which is more than a thousand lower than the cost of a Vino 125 for example. Seat ht. is a little high for shorter people and a kick start and kick stand would be nice. Also it would be nice to have a clicking sound to remind you the turn signal is on. I have had no reliability problems. Easy maintenance too. Read Full Review

This scooter is fast!

It's a basic 125 with a carburetor and air-cooled engine, but compression is high at 12:1 and you should use 92 octane gas (US rating system) according to the owner's manual. I own four scooters and this is my favorite for around town. The 14-inch tires give better stability than the 10-inch tires m...any 125s come with. A kick stand and backup kick start would have been nice, but it's easy to place on the center stand. At 5'8", the seat ht. and leg room is perfect for me too. Mine goes 62 mph and accelerates faster than most cars while still getting 80 mpg. I think if you have only one scooter, this is the one to own. I have had no problems with mine. Read Full Review

This is a very fast 125

Aprilia Sportcity one 125 is very fast with excellent acceleration. Top speed on mine is 62 and it gets there fairly. It also handles hills well. It's the perfect size for the city. Simple, light-weight, fast, dependable and sporty as the name implies. I wish there was a kick stand, a backup kicksta...rt and an audible turn signal though. Read Full Review

Great Scoot

I have had the scooter for 2years now and it runs like a clock.

The only problem is overfilling the gas tank causing the Carbon Canister to flood. This will cause stalling and poor operation. Never overfill the tank.

Other problem concerns the vacuum lines which are of poor quality. I replaced ...mine and never had another problem.
Handling, feel, top speed, and looks are above the rest of the group.
Only thing I may do is buy the Sportcity 250 one day. Read Full Review
