APRILIA SX125 (2018 - on) Review

Very smooth, keeps up 80mph not the best but deffo not the worst as it can stick at 75/70 going up a hill. loses abit of power when low on fuel, is very jumpy when you change gear & pull, can be abit too jumpy but if you like the thrill of being dragged back when riding. Youll love it.

No issues with engine, runs amazing, sounds good, no leaks & exhaust is stock but that can be changed with the magic of the aftermarket exhausts magic.

dah could have been way better. living in anxiety when that fuel gauge lights up. digital dash is a nice feature but a rev limiter & gauge would be better

If you take pride in your motorcycles this would be perfect for you. Easy to get parts except fairings. very expensive to get in. Normal Chinese parts are very adaptable to the bike & repairs can be a little but if you look after your're toys properly then you will have nothing to worry about.

amazing off road, is a very heavy bike so be carful, if your balancing ration on a motorbike or if you are a pro you will love it. only really bad thing to say about it is that it is a 125cc.

Bikes good when working but because it’s Italian nothing is reliable so always have problems

Could be abit more power

3 months of buying the bike needed a full body ecu system took them 7 months to get the parts they gave the bike back to me on 900miles was fine now cut out at red light and won’t start again only on 2700 miles would not buy again!!

Just don’t get the bike

No petrol gadge to see when your running low and the manual is not helpful at all

The Bosch Abs is amazing and definitely will save you in a pickle, also very easy to turn off for them endos. the suspension can be a bit too bouncy and not firm enough.

It's a solid engine although it's let down by Italian "reliability"

Where do I start... I've had issues with the ignition system when the coil pack went 2 months in. Water pump failure 6,000Mls of riding. Parts are difficult to get a hold of because of the old Italians not stocking what you need in the UK. Seat catch has failed on me as well. Broken down many of a time due to the bike just cutting out at red lights which in my opinion is quite dangerous. Cylinder head and exhaust has rusted.

Depends how much you ride as my commute is 800miles a month I go through a lot of chain cleaner and chain lube.

I know that not having a fuel gauge is an Aprilia thing but on a £3,500 motorcycle in 2020 when I bought mine and no rev counter is quite lackluster.

Riding a supermoto can make it hard on your back etc. I can easily ride 1h 30min with no special problem, but yes it could be better. The brakes are good, but i have cleaned the brakes some times and it makes an annoying "peep" noice.

It got some power to it and accelerates "fast" with stock parts. It's been reliable and i don't have anything specific to complain about. The gearbox can be a little weird from time to time when gearing down, but nothing scary or bad. Doesn't struggle when I got a passenger on it.

Solid bike, maybe a bit too much plastic but it is a supermoto, so it is what it is.

From Norway here and don't really know the price of the services, but i do take a service on it per 6k km. It's not that expensive.

Mirrors are good but i don't like them on this bike, could be a personal preference. The seat is pretty soft and comfy. The license bracket is a bit big and i can't find any aftermarket ones which are made for the SX. Stock tires have been great so far.

Abs works well

Engine cylinder rusting already along with the rear silencer

Water pump failed at 8 months local dealership less than helpful at getting it in quickly, one week later the coolant reservoir fluid is black and it is leaking from the engine casing again

Dealership less than helpful when trying to book it in around work
