I bought a new '09 model SR50 in the summer of 2009 and did lots of research before buying. It came with a chrome Leo Vince exaust which looked great. I can't compare power from stock because I never rode it stock. I had the ECU flashed and took out the restrictor plate in the intake. I normally rode this scooter at 45-50 mph., it's very fun!! It handles like a little sportbike with the upright comfortable riding position. The storage is just fine. The gas mileage was always over 100 mpg. at full throttle and that was awesome!! The fuel pump failed at 1800 miles and the dealer had it for two months because of a back order ($300 pump). I was not happy with that but it's a great and fun scooter and very economical. Show less

This really is a racebike with lights. What drives you crazy in traffic will make perfect sense at 70mph+. It was made to go fast and the rear view mirrors are useless to someone of my girth. Have plenty of points available on your drivers license. Show less

I have a aprilia tuono 2004 since 2006. It's a very exciting bike with lots of power. The sound is incredible through the akrapovic exhaust (no db-killer). I should hae bought this bike a couple of years earlier. Show less

I gotta say, this bike often gets overlooked as Aprilia is not a household name... but those who are overlooking it are really missing out. It is a great bike, comfortable riding position, and man does it pull. It can easily make a 21 year old out of a 30 something-plus man. A complete hooligan bike which can also cruise city streets. If you have not straddled an Aprilia, make it a point to do so! Show less

This is an awesome scooter. Besides driving it around town and in downtown Denver (no more parking problems), I've driven it to the Mother Cabrini Shrine and to Buffalo Bill's grave on Lookout Mountain. It had no trouble in going up the steep hills. I've also driven to Longmont and back home to Denver. Found a few nice restaurants in Golden, especially at Vincenzia's on 44th. It seems that the Italian blood in my scooter drew me to the restaurant. Show less

I bought my SR50R in July of 2006...the buying experience was not a pleasant one, but it was worth it. My best friend and I bought ours together in effort to combat the high gas prices. We both live in the Suburbs of Houston and ride downtown every day. I also ride a 2006 Yamaha R6 and I can tell you that the SR 50 is every bit as fun to ride. The scooter is comfortable, and reliable and it just plain looks cool. I have wrecked mine once on a gravel road (not recommended) and the SR 50 took it like a champ. Show less

This scooter has twice the horsepower as any 50cc scooter on the market. 4.1hp vs. 2hp. The only 50cc Scooter that comes close is Italia Jet Dragster which cost more. Show less

The Tuono instills confidence right from the get-go. What a great naked liter bike. It was soooo hard to keep it under 6000 RPM those first miles, but the huge torque and relative smooth-running at low rev's helped immensely. Then 7500 rev's for another little bit. Took 10 days of after-work evenings to break it in; just could not get back on my Ducati ST3 without feeling it was an unrefined beast. The Tuono is now THE ONE for solo rides and such a pleasure in the twisties. Not a single issue with it... the lack of a fuel gauge was at first, but a few tanks later you get confidence in the range between petrol stops. The tires (Metzlers) are superb, albeit a bit too soft for lots of road miles (it is, after all, a track machine it would seem). Must slow down as 140 MPH feels soooo good on this baby. The multi-function display is easy to read, easy to use, and keeps tack of all the important stuff. Now I want the RSV Mille! Show less

I had mine since 2002, never had any problem with it. Always starts on first crank, handles well with it's big fat tires and front and rear disk brake. Good for cruising around town, will get around 80 mpg on normal driving condition ( 20-30 mph ) but will run an honest 50 mph on a flat surface. Love riding it - looks, performance, and it's an APRILIA. Show less
