The Aprilia SR 150 will come equipped with 14-inch wheels with five spokes that are similar to the Aprilia racing bikes which are seen on the Moto GP championship circuits. It will have a single cylinder 150cc, 4-stroke air-cooled, 3-valve motor which is likely to dish out more or less the same numbers, which are rated at 10.4 bhp and 11.4 Nm on the Vespa. With the Aprilia SR 150, Piaggio will reach out to the urban youth who are not only dynamic but also embrace international culture and are upwardly mobile.
Speaking about this upcoming scooter, Piaggio Group Chairman and CEO, Roberto Colaninno said that after the success of the Ape and the positioning of the Vespa in the premium segment of the Indian market, the group is further strengthening its offering in the subcontinent with the entry of Aprilia’s SR 150 scooter.

There is a huge price difference bet the Honda dio and even the power is 50 cc more then d dio. So technically dio won’t have any problems wid d aprilia lauch, and another point me being a bike rider wud never go for this ugly bike even if it’s a aprilia it shud be good looking and not like a scooty pro… That’s how I feel.
This one might give Honda Dio some sleepless nights.
