APRILIA SR50 (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Aprilia SR50, an aggressive-looking scooter introduced in 1992. In a restricted state, the scooter reached a top speed of 45-50 kph (28-31 mph), while unrestricted it reached 85-90 kph (53-56 mph).

The Aprilia SR50 was a scooter made by Aprilia in 1992 and manufactured until 2021. Over 800,000 units were sold in 1992, and several engines were used, sourced from Morini, Piaggio, and Minarelli.

In the visual department, the scooter had standard fittings, like a front fairing with dual headlights, a small wind deflector, a two-up seat with passenger grab rails, and five-spoke alloy wheels.

The digital instrument panel provided readings for speed, odometer, clock, trip counter, fuel level, coolant temperature, and battery voltage. In addition, the color and graphic schemes varied by country.

It was built around a split single-cradle frame with high-tensile steel tubes. It was coupled to a hydraulic telescopic fork with 90 mm of travel on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear, with the engine acting as a swingarm.

As for power, the 2010 Aprilia SR50 had its soul brought to life by a 49cc liquid-cooled two-stroke single-cylinder engine fed by a fuel injection system, pushing the small machine to a top speed of 90 kph (56 mph).

The power was redirected to an automatic transmission with a dry centrifugal clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a final drive with gears in an oil bath.
