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

Question

The Aprilia SXR 125 is a premium scooter in the Indian market, priced much higher than many of its rivals. Italian styled, sporty drive and advanced features, it has. But high initial cost and possibly expensive maintenance hold some potential buyers back. Scooter enthusiasts are split over whether the SXR 125 is priced appropriately, considering its performance, build quality and the value brand, especially seeing it cost more than similar vehicles by more established manufacturers like Honda and TVS. Moreover, there are also fears regarding the availability of after sales service and spare parts for Aprilia in India. Now let’s talk about if the SXR 125’s unique propositions make it worth buying for those looking for a premium scooter experience.

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.

@pramod-kum · Answer

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.

@monalisa-p · Answer

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.

@nakul-pahw · Answer

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!

@reena-yada · Answer

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.

@abhinit-ku · Answer

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.

@ravi-chauh · Answer

Absolutely worth it! It's a head turner and with Italian design flair you're paying for it. And the ride quality is fantastic too. It feels like getting a slice of Europe on Indian roads.
