  • Great Scooter but needs some upgrades.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 11, 2015

    I've owned an 09 SC Cube for 2 years. Has 21k miles & I just came back from a 1200 mile road trip, part of it through mountain terrain. It performed like a champ, but it wasn't always so. I upgraded several things to get the bike where I want it. I dealt with the clutch. At low mph there is a hesitation ...

  • A very good scooter
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 03, 2013

    I bought a 2009 SportCity 250 in Dec. 2012. It was brand new. It had been sitting in a warehouse and had zero miles/km on it. It's a great scooter.

    My only complaint is the speedometer/odometer. They are primarily calibrated in kilometers/km per hour. The odometer can not be reprogrammed ...

  • DOES NOT RUN ON REGULAR GAS
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 02, 2013

    I own the 2009, and the manual says it requires 91 octane or above, which can be adjusted according to your climate and riding needs. The gas station rating is a minimum rating they use, so the actual gas is usually slightly higher than indicated. I usually buy 89 octane, but 93 or premium is better ...

  • If you can find one.... BUY IT!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Nov 24, 2012

    After 40 years of big-bikes, with my last 3 being Harleys, I found a zero-miles 2009 Sportcity that was located 250 miles away. It was worth the drive. The SC250 is a great scooter. I've been getting 70-75 mpg with city driving. I inadvertently found myself on a highway one day. At over 70 mph, I ...

  • I LOVE it!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Apr 17, 2011

    I looked at several scooters, and compared this bike to the Piaggio BV 250. When I took the Sport City out with my girlfriend on it, after the first turn she said "Buy it."

    I LOVE this Scooter. It is FAST. It is not a cruiser, but a performance scooter. I love it, I love it, I LOVE it!

  • Excellent, Amazing Scooter!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 14, 2010

    As the model name suggests, he Aprilia Sportcity 250 is sporty and it is a thrill to ride. It tops out around 90 mph while getting close to 65 mpg with a 215 lbs rider in the city. While riding in the city, there are two things that make this bike a must: the dual front disk brakes and the quick ...
