It's a mixed bag. It's great on smooth roads but you have to slow down and be more careful on bad stretches. It’s not ideal, but you can manage if you adjust your riding style.

It actually handles surprisingly well. The stiff suspension actually works in its favor skipping over small bumps instead of wallowing as softer scooters do.

It's all about technique. Standing up slightly on bumps and using your legs as additional suspension is something you learn. It’s not bad at all once you get used to it.

It’s honestly overkill for most Indian roads. Unless you live somewhere with consistently good tarmac, you're probably better off with something a little more forgiving.

It's been rock solid for 3 years now, mine. Be good to it and just follow the service schedule. No major issues so far.

Reliability is hit or miss. For some, no problems at all, for others, niggles all the time. Smaller cities may have problems with parts availability.

It’s not a Honda, but it’s not bad. Japanese scooters are cheaper to buy and need less frequent maintenance.

Mine have given me nothing but trouble. The dealer support is awful and constant electrical issues. For safety, stick to the known brands.

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?
16 January 2025 07:36
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.
