2004 Aprilia SR50
 
Hi,

bought two days ago a Aprilia SR50 Di-Tech. it has a direct injection and stock one of the fastest accelerating 50cc scooters. I bought it to travel faster then with my bicycle, and longer distances :P it goes currently about 55 km/h with speed limiter on, I'm going to remove it later this week. Anyway it only has 1400 km and didn't cost that much so I had to buy it :P

Nice I really like the color scheme. Reminds me of the ones I drove in my home country. How much did you pay?

TopGearNL 07-21-2006 07:23 AM

I have an Aprilia Sr too!! But I haven't got the injection one, I have the normal one because you can tune it better :twisted:

Ill See if I have some pics of it since I am selling it this week :cry:

@ Pimp Racer: 900€ :P not alot since the condition was as good like new and only 1400 km, newprice is around 2400€.

@ TopGearNL: humm nice :o I've hearder that the older model SR w/o Injection like you have are way better for engine tuning :P and that normal Di-Tech are just stock fast, I was thinking within a few weeks buying a Polini Vario, Polini Clutch, TNT air filter, Gianelli Reverse Kevlar Exhaust, white tyre markers and chrome rear lights. for the rest I ain't planning to put money into it, since I'll buy a car in about 2years .

I have a Athena 70 cc on it and a TJT C16 exhaust, goes about 120 (real Km !!), but I was catched by the police (never told it on JW btw) and know I have a ban driving on any scooter for 2 years. But since I am taking driving lessons now I am going to sell it for about 900 Euros.

Mine has a special paint BTW :twisted:

Nice, reminds me of my old days on my Gilera Runner (with 70cc, exhaust, etc). :)

ARMAN 07-21-2006 09:58 AM

Cool bike!

Right, malossi 80cc kit, gianelli pipe (neighbour-waking loudness) and get that speed limiter off!

If you are handy with an electric file you could polish the ports too, I did this on my DT50 and increased top speed by 8mph from stock 35mph :mrgreen:

With this hot weather I really fancy a Gilera LC180. Now that would be fun!

thx for the nice replies guys ! I only had one problem yet: I was driving a distance 10 km, and did a few laps around the block, when I was finished I looked at my temperature meter and it was just into the red :? humm I didn't saw any signs of empty oil or water, but it was around almost 40°C outside, could the warm weather be the problem or something with my SR?

But it is now, when I hear those scooters with exhausts, that I think that back then I was also such an ass lol.

LOL

I also used to have a Polini ForRace, never had to ring the bell when I visited a friend that lived at the end of a long road. :lol:

Nowadays I also get annoyed by loud scooters if I'm walking in towncentre. :)

me too, always hated those bastards - you could have just saved your money for your first car..., it's just so weird - they spend all that money on them, and their they are tooteling along at 50 km/h

nobody is impressed by scooters, in belgium some of them drive on the road at 50 km/h, then i pass them at 80 km/h and miss them by a couple of inches to scare the living crap out of them :twisted:

Mopsdrops 07-22-2006 12:56 PM

^^ a first car isn't gonna cost around 15,000€ you know, you better start with something cheaper... :roll: and as long as their not doing anything wrong I don't see why you should react so agressive in traffic. :? not that i'm gonna spend a lot money on it trough...

Update:

Did some mods today:
1. Removed some of those ugly stickers
2. Put on two Polini Stickers instead
3. Bought new Polini Speedcontrol Vario
4. Superb washing techniques by myself :) :lol:

when I removed the stickers I saw the previous owner put on the stickers to cover up some scratches and cracks :( yet, I still wanna say that i'm not one of those typical guys who is gonna put all their money into it. I'd rather save for later :D

Yup that's in the new condition: w/ new sticker, looks nicer then before imo.
