Aprilia call their new SR GT models ‘urban adventure’ scooters and went so far in the press briefing as to compare them to SUVs on two wheels. While I think this is over-egging the pudding a bit, it gives you an idea of what the Italian firm had in mind when they designed the bike.

Let’s be honest, a 125 scooter is never going to make a true Grand Tourer - you know that, we know that and so do Aprilia. But there is a growing market for more premium and capable scooters that look like they could take on more than an inner-city commute. Honda have the Forza 125, Yamaha have the XMax 125 and then there are whackier options like the Italjet Dragster to consider, too.

The SR GT is Aprilia’s attempt to crack the market and it leans on Noale’s sporting heritage for credibility. The front of the scooter apes the sportsbikes in Aprilia’s range with its wide ‘wings’, angry dual headlights and beak-like nose. There are vast swathes of fake carbon-fibre on the Sport models, too, and a #BeARacer sticker on the front mudguard. Even the foot boards are designed to resemble the bash plates on off-road bikes to add to a sense of rugged capability.
