While the Aprilia SR 125 gets a lot of praise for its sporty handling and tendency to get ahead of things, people have quite a different opinion when it comes to how it performs in the traffic, which it is supposed to cater as quasi city commuter. Its responsive throttle and quick acceleration make it a perfect zipping through traffic tool for some riders, but others argue it's too large, with stiffer suspension, and not as maneuverable in tight spaces as smaller scooters. Stop and go traffic also has a lot to do with how your scooter handles, since weight distribution and seating position can make a difference. The question of whether the sporty attributes that make it fun on open roads become a hindrance in bumper to bumper situations is up for debate. Furthermore, fuel efficiency and heat management in slow moving traffic is being discussed by the urban commuters who want to take the SR 125 as their daily ride.
