The Aprilia SR 125 hp.e has been especially crafted keeping in mind the preferences of young Indian riders and urban commuters — riders who seek not just stylish looks but also powerful performance and the latest technology. While it remains a part of the popular SR portfolio, the model now arrives with several key upgrades that give it a refreshed identity.
