APRILIA SR 50

Aprilia SR 50 and two bikes Aprilia RS 50 and RS 125 are now offered in the same livery and colors as the RSV4 Superbike ridden by Max Biaggi in his first ever win at Brno on Sunday, July 26th. These three new replicas have just hit the market.

Aprilia SR 50, the world’s sportiest 50 cc scooter, was originally launched in1992. It stood apart from its rivals with its cool sports bike characteristics. Aprilia is the first manufacturer to offer 50cc scooter with electronic fuel injector.

Aprilia RSV4 Superbike

Aprilia-RS-125

 

In just two decades Aprilia has become a motorcycle racing legend: 33 world championships and 267 GP wins in the 125 and 250 classes – the youngest and most dynamic Moto GP categories – make Aprilia Italy’s most successful brand in existence. And, with this year’s return to the Superbike World Championship (in which the marque notched up 8 wins, 8 pole positions and 26 podium placings from 1999 to 2002), Aprilia is once again a force to be reckoned with in the large capacity, production-derived racing bike class: in addition to the win at Brno on Sunday, July 26th, Max Biaggi has already secured four podium placings in the first part of the Superbike season alone.
Aprilia has always carried this legacy of success and technical expertise over into its production models, and the influence of this legacy is evident in the philosophy inspiring its products and in their styling, which is often taken directly from the brand’s racing machines.
The he legend rides on, and gets better. Every year! When the SR 50 first came out, it was already in a class of its own. The “sports scooter” category was invented specially for it.
Now, the SR 50 features an aggressive new design, inspired by the RSV 1000 R Factory, but there’s more to it than style! The SR 50 incorporates numerous technical solutions derived directly from Aprilia’s world-beating maxi, to bring you the tops in equipment and the highest level of active safety you can get. With advanced technology, a legendary name, and guaranteed performance, the new SR is destined to be yet another Aprilia success story. Especially if ridden by people like you.

World’s Fastest Mobility Scooter

The mobility scooter which has a powerful 125cc motorbike engine installed under the seat.

Colin Furze, 31, spent nearly three months converting the machine which has a powerful 125cc motorbike engine installed under the seat, five gears and twin exhausts.

The petrol-powered super scooter, which is British racing green, can almost reach the national speed limit and keep up with cars on the motorway.

It does 10 miles to the gallon and is nearly nine times faster than an average mobility scooter which glides along at just 8mph.

“It is quite scary when I’m driving it fast as the frame is pretty flimsy and designed for going along at slow speeds,” said Mr Furze, from Stamford, Lincs.

“You can’t take your eyes off the road when driving it as any rash steering decisions could make it flip over and the slightest dip or bump in the road makes it drift off course.”

Mr Furze decided to transform the scooter after he was given the machine by a friend.

He was determined to build the fastest mobility scooter in the world and applied to Guinness to set the record as there wasn’t one already in place.

He was told his scooter would have to travel at least 61.4mph and still look like a commercial mobility scooter.

“You hear lots of people complain about scooters going really slowly around supermarkets and blocking the aisles so I thought it would be a laugh to make a really fast one,” he said.

“I was told I could modify the engine but I wasn’t allowed to change the appearance in any way so I couldn’t give it bigger wheels or make it more stable.

fastest mobility scooter“I initially tried experimenting with battery power but I only got to about 30mph and the batteries died really quickly so I knew then it would have to be petrol powered.”

He removed a 125cc engine from his motocross bike and spent a week rebuilding the frame of the scooter.

“I was a bit nervous when I first started it up as I wasn’t sure if it would work, but it sounded good and got to 64mph, then 69mph very quickly,” he added.

“I was worried it would be a real death trap to drive but it’s not too bad when you get used to it.

“It takes people by surprise as it looks like the real thing but it’s really noisy when it gets going.”

Mr Furze is now going to do a time trial at the Santa Pod Raceway, Northants and hoping to gain a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

“I will be wearing full leathers and a crash helmet for the record attempt,” he said. “My aim is to hit 70mph – that would make me really happy.”
