Great comfortable bike with a few issues

Pros: Big tyres, big brakes, feels light and stable



Cons: Just fits a 6 foot tall rider, Questionable reliability



I purchased this bike for a small commuter however I have had nothing but trouble from day one. I have had the bike for 2 months and have been back to the dealer 5 times for the sa...me issue. The problems include:
1. A fuel gauge that shows the tank to be completely empty at 4 litres, leaving 3.5 litres of fuel left (6 litre tank with a 1.5 litre reserve making it a 7.5 litres)
2. A major loss in power resulting in Wide Open Throttle (WOT) to achieve a maximum of 65km/h up a slight incline.
3. Once warm the bike will misfire from a standstill (so severely it will not move), on exiting corners, and under load - up a hill, WOT.
4.It stalls at sets of lights all the time. Also it has stalled when braking and in mid corner. I am just lucky no-one has been behind me when this has happened.

Overall Opinion DEATH TRAP!

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
