There we go.. now we're talking BUSINESS

I almost forgot Aprilia is officially imported in the US.
Hell, The Mother Of All Sports Scooters it's right there,

the venerable SR50.
The baddest-assed sport scoot ever built.

From its very first appearance, more than 15 years ago..

the SR really was the beginning of an era.
And still now it's one of the most tuned-up scooters around.
And go figure.. it's even imported in the US!

These scooters are pretty sweet. We sell Aprilia where I work and I was impressed with the SR50. Its really fast and it even logs your laps times!!

What years were the blue ones body style made? (2nd to last bottom pic)

I doubt I can justify buying one brand new...but I really like that style so maybe used?

2nd to bottom is a custom paint..
it should be the 1998-2000 model, pre-injection,
you can call it 2nd generation.
the 2nd pic from top is the actual first model ever, 1992-1998.

DiTech engines were an attempt to have clean, quasi-emission free 2stroke engines. Sorta of an electronic-injected two stroke engine.

They never worked that good though.
Get a normal carb'ed pre-2001 Minarelli model ( or >2004, Piaggio block ) and you're ready to roll,
no other scooter has such an ENORMOUS amount of aftermarket mods, kits and spares available. none.

ebay's got some new shit, '06 models
dunno about your usual used stuff channels, such as Craiglist..
How do you search for used cars/bikes in the US?

We sell them around MSRP which is $3099 but usually we take a couple hundred off

The only complaint I've ever had about Aprilia is that if you're ordering accessories for them it takes forever to get them from Italy. They're not exactly fast but other than that they're great.
