                  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.

                  Aprilia SXR 125 offers comfort and luxury
                  On to the Aprilia SXR 125. Like a two-wheeled luxury cruiser! At 1.68 lakh on-road, the vehicle offers comfort and luxury worth every cent. It's strong and efficient at 40 km/l. The luxurious design and comfort make every journey enjoyable. I remember taking this scooter to a beach resort with buddies. It made our vacation elegant, and we relaxed on the beach.

                  Hero Xtreme review
                  It is a good bike but the engine need little more refinement otherwise it was great machine and it was also good for city ride and for long drive like 500 to 1000 kilometres distance because it was great mileage also it was comfortable sit and good foaming for the pillion but the engine exhaust need more sturdy.

                  Best bike under 150000
                  I have been using this bike for 4 months now and till now I have not faced any problem nor any driving issue. It is a very good bike. I will recommend this bike to all of you and one special thing about it is that its internal power is very dangerous, you will definitely have fun.I will tell you all again that this is a very good bike

                  My Opinion on hero Xtreme 160r
                  Speed and look are awesome. And handling are outstanding. By the way. It's value for money. Iam saying like this because iam using this bike from 1 year and it's still giving me it's best. But theres only speed limit of 120. One thing I like the most are it's headlight it's so bright and clear you can see properly in the night and dark areas
