                  The bike of my dreams
                  I had bought my bike back in Jan 2017, and till now whenever I ride it feels like new, this bike has low cost maintainance for a normal service it costs around 1200-1500, and the mileage is awesome, I got a mileage of 48-50, and in long range ride once I got a mileage of 58, this bike is decent for daily use, because nowadays many big fats bike are here but still my beast doesn't feel old or less stylish, plus it is pocket friendly, I would suggest this is the best bike for a normal person.

                  It's good bike with good efficiency and mileage. You can use this for long time use. Proper air cooling. Best bike for long drive. It makes you feel so comfortable. You will enjoy the throttling. Feels smooth. Premium category and very under rated one.I suggest everyone to buy this bases on my experience

                  Apache rtr 180 review
                  Overall experience good but city mileage very low only 35 in chennai. 80k run in native salem i achieved 46 mileage but in chennai it is very low. Plastic bodies get dull after 50k.Overall looks and bike looking good. Small size bike and riding feels vibration after 50 speed. Double disc feels good compare to drum.

                  Aprilia SXR 125 is the best scooter
                  As a 6.2 feet tall person, Aprilia SXR 125 is the best scooter for me. The headlight is very bright. The experience of riding this bike is good. While riding at higher speeds, I heard a small sound from the engine. Pricing for service is reasonable. Brakes push inwards or work in the other direction. Suspension is a bit stiff. I am disappointed as I was waiting for the Bluetooth feature.

                  Detailed review of Aprilia SXR 125
                  I have been using Aprilia SXR 125 since April of 2023. Good handling, Nice design, Bad fuel efficiency, High Maintainace (service advised every three months, which is not the case with other scooters). I have ridden less than 1300 Km in a year. Last week, the clutch of the scooter broke while i was getting it to the service center for the 5th service. The parts were replaced, but all expenses are out of my pocket, the 5 years warranty which was offered does not cover this repair. The explanation I was given is that the clutch was damaged because I rode the scooter with the brake engaged. This made no sense to me as I have owned two other scooters with no one else operating the vehicles. For 15 years I had a TVS scooty pep+ without such clutch issues. And under 1300 km usage, damaged the Aprila scooter's clutch in my use. I am thinking of going to the consumer court. I would like to know if any other Aprilia customer has faced the similar situation.

                  Easy everyday commute and pleasurable
                  My commute has been totally transformed by the Aprilia SXR 125. Smooth and strong, its 125cc engine is ideal for city traffic. Often riding with me, my sister likes the cozy seats and the roomy luggage storage. Though first dubious about its contemporary features, my father now appreciates its computerized console and effective braking system. Every ride has been pleasurable because of the sophisticated features and stylish look of the SXR 125. It's more to me than simply a scooter; it's a performance, comfort, and style combination that makes my everyday commute easy and pleasurable. On the highway, it is a dependable travel buddy.
