Moreover, the Italian brand has also launched the new Vespa VXL 150, SXL 150 and Notte 125. The launch of Notte 125 was initially reported in August.

The star of the lot, the all new Aprilia SR 150 Race edition gets visual additions such as the MotoGP livery with a white base along with red and green body graphics and golden brake calliper. However, the stand-out feature on this new-age scooter has to be the new preload-adjustable springs at the rear. It also gets a new instrument cluster along with a tall windscreen. The new model has been launched in India at a price of Rs. 80,211 (ex-showroom Pune).

The new Aprilia SR 150, on the other hand, has been launched in four new colours; namely, matt black, blue, glossy red, and white. There’s also new limited-edition called Aprilia Carbon SR 150, which features all-black carbon graphics and new adjustable suspension.
