2011 Aprilia SR50

WHO ARE YOU?

SR 50: the legend rides on, and gets better every year! When the SR 50 first came out, it was already in a class of its own. The “sports scooter” category was invented specially for it.

Now, the SR 50 features an aggressive new design, inspired by the RSV 1000 R Factory, but there’s more to it than style! The SR 50 incorporates numerous technical solutions derived directly from Aprilia’s world-beating maxi, to bring you the tops in equipment and the highest level of active safety you can get. With advanced technology, a legendary name, and guaranteed performance, the new SR is destined to be yet another Aprilia success story. Especially if ridden by people like you






2011 Aprilia SR50 Features

EVOLUTION OF THE SPECIES
Ever since it was first introduced, the SR has been the preferred scooter of the Aprilia Racing Team, and is used extensively at trials and race meetings to get quickly between pit lane and the paddock. Aprilia’s top riders can also be seen riding their SRs around town in total freedom. Just like you.

BIG BIKE LOVER?
So you know all about sports scooters. You’ve read up on scooter technology and performance too. The you know you need the new SR 50.

Just to refresh your memory, the SR 50 was the first scooter to fit 13” wheels, the first with liquid cooling, the first with a double disc braking system, and the first with a direct injection engine.

And finish and equipment are superbike level. Just look at the mirrors, integrated footrests, and open brake master cylinders. The SR 50 has to be yours!

STYLE FANATIC?
Maybe you’re one of those who remove original transfers and put your own stickers on instead. With all the trouble that Aprilia takes to give you such great graphics! Oh well, that’s up to you! But we’d like to know that we’ve styled your new SR in a way can be proud of, with an uncompromising sports look to reflect its cutting-edge technology, we’ve even designed a completely new steel frame for improved rigidity for unrivalled agility. And you can’t fail to appreciate the SR’s superior multi-functional digital instruments panel, twin halogen headlights, motorcycle-style switchgear and transponer anti-theft system.

In fact, there’s only one thing missing…you! The SR is waiting.

SR, ONE OF THE PACK?
Maybe you use tour scooter to get around with your friends. If so, on an SR you’re sure to attract the right company! SR riders always have something in common. They like aggressive style, streamlined aerodynamics and impeccable handling when they see them. Everybody’s different, but on an SR everybody’s got something to share.

If we wanted to, we could write a book about the SR 50 R's brand new, active matrix, digital instrument panel. After all, it does have analog rev counter and a large LCD display for fuel level, coolant temperature, clock, speedometer, odometer, dual trip counters, journey time, maximum speed, 16 stage timer, battery voltage, and complete diagnostic system, but we shall limit ourselves to pointing out that all these functions are accessible from convenient handlebar controls.
