Aprilia SR50 R Factory - Uncompromising racing design with the most advanced engine technology of any scooter.

Aprilia’s SR 50 has set the pace for scooter technology ever since it was introduced in 1992. With the SR 50, Aprilia was the first manufacturer to offer a real sports scooter, creating a whole new market segment. Despite numerous attempts by the competition over the years, the SR 50 has remained the undisputed market leader, thanks to continuous upgrades in technology that have kept it beyond the reach of other scooters. The SR has set records at an incredible rate.

1992: the SR 50 was the first ever sports scooter
1993: the SR 50 was the first ever Racing Replica scooter
1994: the SR 50 was the first ever sports scooter with liquid cooling
1997: the SR 50 was the first ever scooter with two disc brakes
1999: the SR 50 was the first ever 50 cc scooter with electronic fuel injection

On top of all this, the SR 50 has always been instantly recognisable for its “big bike” characteristics like large diameter wheels, super-low profile tyres and top quality hydraulic suspensions.

The Aprilia SR 50 is universally recognised as the scooter to beat, as sales of over 800,000 units show. The SR has become a legend in its own time. It is also the scooter most in demand by young riders and all those who have a passion for sport and the world of motorcycle racing. More than a scooter, the SR is a way of life.

The best is not good enough for Aprilia! Research is continuous and unstoppable and the epoch-making innovations only recently introduced on Aprilia’s technological flagship, the RSV 1000, have already made their appearance on the new SR too. The SR resembles the RSV 1000 R Factory not just in appearance but in technical solutions too.

Now the SR is completely new. More modern in style, this latest SR also boasts better performance, reduced fuel consumption and greater reliability thanks to a second generation Ditech fuel injected engine. It even has a brand new frame for better than ever “big bike” handling. And when it comes to equipment, the SR 50 Factory is the flagship the others have to beat.

The SR 50’s uncompromising sports look accurately replicas the world of racing. As always, Aprilia is not content to offer the best technology available, but insists on the best design too. Technology and passion go hand in hand on the SR 50 R Factory. Its aggressive styling is clearly inspired by the RSV 1000 R Factory to guarantee head-turning beauty and emotion-packed riding.

See the SR 50 R Factory once and you’ll agree. It really is a “Mini RSV”. Family feeling is clear not just from the graphics, but from the technical solutions too. The streamlined leg-shield, powerful twin headlights, central air intake, and aerodynamic tail with integrated tail light and indicators are all just like those fitted to Aprilia’s supersports flagship. On the SR 50 R Factory attention to detail has reached heights never previously seen on any sports scooter. Even the color schemes are new, aggressive and lively, just as they should be on a sports machine that refuses to compromise.

The first ever scooter equipped with a fuel injected two stroke engine is now powered by a second generation Ditech engine. A new, more compact air filter and a special new exhaust design have increased performance and further reduced the engine’s already miserly fuel consumption. This generous 50 cc single cylinder engine also boasts a long list of innovations to improve functioning and make it more reliable than ever.
