At Rs 1.26 lakh (ex showroom, New Delhi) does the Aprilia SXR 125 justify the premium price tag?

No way, man. For that price you could buy a decent 150cc motorcycle. In the long run the maintenance costs are gonna bleed you dry.

That depends on what you’re looking for. If you want something different and are willing to spend a bit extra on it, go right ahead. However, if practicality is what you’re after, there are better options.

I’ve had mine for a year and I do not regret it one bit. It still turns heads whenever I go and the build quality is solid. Worth every rupee!

Overpriced, if you ask me. Yeah, sure it’s looking good, but at the end of the day it’s still just a 125cc scooter. You’re paying a premium for the badge.

For the right buyer, I think it’s worth it. If you like design and want something that doesn’t blend in with the sea of Activas and Jupiters, the SXR 125 is a good option.

It’s very expensive, but you do get what you pay for. The components themselves and overall fit and finish are a notch above the competition.

I rode the SXR 160 first and I feel it is a good beginner scooter. It's not overwhelming, but the power is there when you need it. But the stability actually helped me feel more confident as a new rider.

For a complete newbie, it is just too much. If you haven’t ridden before, it can be hard to manage the weight and power. It’s better to start small and work your way up.

It really depends on the person I'd say. The SXR is a good choice if you're a cautious learner because you won't outgrow the SXR too quickly. If you’re nervous about riding, maybe start with something less powerful.

I don't think it's a good idea for absolute beginners because I teach people to ride. It’s an issue with the weight, especially when trying to balance at low speeds or park. But it's a great second scooter.

I bought the SXR as my first scooter and I don’t regret it. It was a bit of a change but I'm glad I did not have to go from a smaller scooter. Riding within your limits is all it’s about.

In my opinion it is overkill for a new rider. The cost, not just for the power, but for the power. So is it really worth risking dropping an expensive scooter and potentially damaging it when you still learning? Start cheap, then upgrade.

I would say it’s a good option for mature beginners. For those of you starting to ride in your late 20s or older, the SXR's stability and power can be a reassuring thing. Though it’s not a good choice for teenage first time riders.

For a petite rider, the SXR was too heavy for a beginner. I was never comfortable with its weight. Love this scooter but wish I had started lighter.

If you live in a place with good roads and light traffic, it's a good starter. It may be too much to handle for learning in busy city conditions, though. Context matters a lot.

A year into it, I started on a 110cc scooter and then moved on to the SXR. In fact, I'm happy I did it that way. The SXR was much smoother to learn the basics on than a smaller scooter.

The SXR 160 still holds up OK against newer options, I think. It's built like a tank and rides like one. Of course, it doesn’t have all those fancy tech features, but for pure riding pleasure it’s difficult to beat.

It's honestly falling behind. Maxi scooters have gotten better performance, more features, often at a lower price. Yet the design of the SXR is still attractive, but it is no longer good enough.

It's a mixed bag. While the SXR still offers one of the best rides in the segment, it lacks in the modern tech feature department. It’s still a good one if you care more about comfort than gadgets.

I compared the SXR to some newer models recently, and it’s definitely showing its age in terms of features. Not much in the way of connectivity options, and a basic instrument cluster, but man, that engine is still a gem. Smooth and punchy.
