If you take care of it, it’s pretty reliable. The engine is solid, but a few plastic bits shake themselves loose over time. Nothing major though.

It does not work well for long term reliability. These are complex machines and to find skilled mechanics outside authorized service centers is tough.

Mine has 40,000 km on it and no real problems. Regular maintenance is key. It’s not Activa reliable, but it’s not a fragile Italian exotic either.

Truth is, the build quality is actually quite good. The majority of reliability issues I have seen are due to neglect or abuse. Treat it well and it'll last.
Can the Aprilia SR 160's storage capacity actually limit its practical everyday usage?

It also definitely has limited storage space, but I’ve learned to work around it. For most things I use a backpack and only use the under seat storage for essentials. I'm willing to compromise that ride quality for it.

I find it to be a huge limitation for me. My half face helmet is too big for the seat. For the price of a scooter, I expected a bit more storage. While it’s not really practical for everyday use.

I put a top box on mine and that took care of most of the storage problems. Of course it doesn't look as sleek, but at least I can use it to run to the grocery store and such. Finding the right balance is all it is.

I’m actually not even that bothered by the lack of storage. I didn’t buy the SR 160 for hauling groceries, I bought it for the performance. However, if you need a lot of storage space, then this isn’t the scooter for you.

It’s not ideal, but it’s doable. When I need more storage I use a magnetic tank bag and it doesn’t ruin the looks of the scooter.

It’s annoying that the storage is limited, but it’s not a deal breaker. Using a good quality backpack solves most problems. It also makes the scooter look sleek.

I believe that people overblow the storage issue. It’s not the most spacious scooter out there, but it does have room for the basics. And let’s be real, you don’t buy an Aprilia for its storage capacity.

I do miss the extra storage as someone with a more practical scooter. The fun factor of the SR 160 however makes up for it. It's all about priorities.
How can we compare the overall riding experience of Aprilia SR 160 with the Yamaha Aerox 155?
16 January 2025 07:36
I've ridden both and the Aerox just feels a more refined overall. It is a smoother engine and a more comfortable engine for longer rides. It’s more raw and exciting, though, the SR 160.

The SR 160 is way more fun, no way! It's lighter and more nimble. In comparison, the Aerox feels a little too... sensible. It’s the Aprilia if you want excitement.

One is great for long rides, the other for short ones. The fuel efficiency and comfort makes the Aerox better for everyday use. And the SR 160 is the one you’d choose if you’re after pure fun on the weekends.

The looks and handling is the reason I picked the SR 160 over the Aerox. The Yamaha probably has better build quality and reliability, but I have to admit. It's a tough choice.

That’s why the Aerox wins for me. It feels more modern with the start stop system, bigger fuel tank and digital cluster. Compared to the SR 160, the unit feels a bit dated.

Having owned both, I’d say the SR 160 is more fun to ride, but the Aerox is easier to live with on a day to day basis. That really depends on what you value more.

There is something Italian about the Aprilia that the Yamaha can’t match. Not always about practicality, sometimes you just want something that you smile every time you look at it.

I think the Aerox is the better all rounder. While it is not quite so sporty as the SR 160, it is better on comfort and fuel efficiency. And Yamaha's service network is a lot better than Aprilia's in the majority of places.
