While Honda and TVS are veterans of the Indian scooter market, this is Aprilia’s first foray into India. A performance oriented model, the SR 160 Race, is built to demand more out of its owner in terms of maintenance. How reliable and durable is it over time? What common problems do they encounter as the scooter ages? How good are Aprilia dealer's spare parts availability and service? If you are a buyer looking at this as a long term purchase, you need to understand the ownership experience beyond the initial honeymoon period. Assessing the long term viability of the scooter in the Indian context would benefit a lot from insights from owners who have had the scooter for a few years now.
