Default 2008 Aprilia SportCity 250 Review


What was Aprilia thinking when they came up with the SportCity 250? I'm willing to take a guess; it was probably something like "how can we add some sex appeal to our current, rather stuffy line-up?"

Go ahead, go to their site and look at what they've got. Besides the punchy SR50 and the ornately chromed Mojito they've got the Scarabeo series weighing in at 100, 200 and 500cc's. Given a one-word description, all three Scarabeos can be summed up as 'Business.'

They all beg the rider to sit up with a proper posture, they all have rather calm face about them with their single headlight and badged chest. They come in a variety of drab colors, all except for that trouble making Red one. If you were looking for a fun scooter, you'd likely look right past a large portion of the Aprilia line-up. That is until you saw the SportCity 250.

admin, with all due respect, I can't agree. I have an 07 Sportcity. This thing rocks. There is no other scooter that looks as good, or handles as well. I have no hesitation taking off on it to go anywhere. The seat is day long comfy. There is plenty of power, and it will run 75 all day long, and still get 60MPG wide open. My wife has a Scarabeo 100. While certainly more "business" as you put it, with the color matched topbox, the styling queues combining retro with high tech are not duplicated by any other scooter company. It seems to me that Aprilia has the market cornered, rather than hiding in the corner. And they both turn heads, especially when attending scooter runs... I get more "what is that" than anything... especially from the Kymco crowd on those dreadfully ugly Venox things. The "I could have had a V8" look never ceases to amuse me.
