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

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

that's it, if you got any questions just ask

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

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

@ Pimp Racer: 900€

not alot since the condition was as good like new and only 1400 km, newprice is around 2400€.

@ TopGearNL: humm nice

I've hearder that the older model SR w/o Injection like you have are way better for engine tuning

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

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

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

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

Mopsdrops · 07-21-2006, 01:21 PM

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.

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

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

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

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

Only 1451 km on the odometer
