As I accelerated away, familiarising myself with Aprilia’s latest compact scooter offering, two things struck me. The first is the ergonomics put me in a really active riding position; the firm seat has me sitting nice and high so my head’s well above the traffic and there’s plenty of room along the two-position footboards to find the best spot for my feet. My arms are wide and relaxed sitting atop a wide one-piece handlebar. Performance aside, this feels like it could be a scooter from the 400cc category.
The second thing that occurs to me is that it’s been a bloody long time since I’ve ridden an Aprilia with throttle cables. The opening and closing cables jutting out the base of the throttle assembly look a bit out of place on a brand-new MY22 model Aprilia, but it’s a $7540 (ride away) 125cc scooter after all, so no digital throttle here
