For the first couple of years it will probably be fine, but long term ownership is probably where the differences will show up.

I think it should be reliable enough for most riders. The real question is whether the extra maintenance costs are worth the Aprilia badge.

The first thing I did was swap the exhaust. The stock one is way too quiet and an aftermarket pipe really wakes up the engine.

Adjustable levers are a must. Adjustables make a huge difference in comfort and the stock ones are too far for my small hands.

I also added frame sliders and a tail tidy. They're not performance mods, but they really make the bike look so much better.

A lot of guys will take a full ECU reflash. It flattens the power delivery and blesses with a little power throughout the rev range.

I honestly kept mine stock. As is it's plenty fun and I don't want to mess with reliability.

Brake lines really made a huge difference in feel and stopping power when upgraded. I definitely recommend that mod.

I fitted a quick shifter and it’s made the bike. It makes it feel much more premium and sporty.

The game changer for highway comfort is a taller windscreen. It cuts down on wind blast significantly.

There's some wild builds with big bore kits and turbo setups. That’s crazy power from such a small engine!

My GPR 150 was much more tolerable for longer rides with comfort seat and bar risers. Big difference, small changes.

My GPR 150 is a blast to use and I use it for commuting. It’s not the most practical, but it makes every ride to work feel like a mini adventure.

A terrible choice for daily commuting. After a week of rush hour traffic, the riding position will kill your back and your wrists.

It's actually not bad. It handles pretty well for a nimble car, and can weave through traffic, and it's pretty good on fuel if you're not thrashing it.

I'd say it's a compromise. You get the fun factor, but you give up on comfort and practicality. It depends on what you value more in a commuter.

It's okay for short commutes. However, over 30 minutes and you will want an upright riding position.
