Italian two-wheeler manufacturer Aprilia announced the launch of its first adventure scooter, the SR GT 200, in the Japanese market. Aprilia first unveiled the SR GT range of adventure scooters during the November 2021 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. The two-wheeler manufacturer offers the SR GT in two variants – 125 and 200, with the latter introduced in Japan. Aprilia has designed the scooter to tackle the beaten path whilst offering practicality and performance during daily commuter runs.
Drawing inspiration from other Aprilia models, such as the SXR range, the SR GT 200 features a striking design language. Highlighting its ADV stance, the scooter sports a wide handlebar, long-travel suspension, an imposing apron, and block pattern tyres. The ‘urban adventure scooter’ sports tri-LED headlights upfront with a smoked windscreen and a heavily flared front panel. Along with aggressive cuts and creases, the scooter gets a large transmission tunnel placed between the legs of the rider.
This will not only allow the rider to experience the feeling of riding a motorcycle but also experience comfort. Aprilia has ensured to bound the footpegs of the scooter with silver-coloured panels, giving it a metallic bash plate impression. The 2022 SR GT 200 also gets a sharp tail section with a single-piece grab rail and an upswept exhaust. The scooter also sports black or red-coloured wheels and distinctive body graphics to further accentuate its road presence.
Powering the SR GT 200 is a 174cc, four-stroke, four-valve, water-cooled, single-cylinder SOHC engine, paired to a CVT automatic transmission. The engine develops 17.4 PS of power and 16.5 Nm of torque thanks to an electronically-controlled fuel injection system. Along with a double cradle, high-tension steel pipe frame, the scooter also sports an automatic centrifugal clutch for smooth gearshifts. The SR GT 200 sports a seat height of 799mm and an overall wheelbase of 1,350mm.
Additionally, the scooter gets 33mm, hydraulic front forks with 120mm of travel and an adjustable twin-shock rear suspension. Aprilia has equipped the scooter with a 14-inch front wheel and a 13-inch rear wheel with 6 colour options. The Sport gets Street Gold, Iridium Grey, Red Raceway colours, whereas the GT gets Aprilia Black, Street Grey, and Infinity Blue. With a 9-litre fuel tank, the scooter also gets a 260mm front disc brake and a 220mm rear brake disc.
