Aprilia SportCity 250 i.e. has landed on US soil!

(Looking at her in person reveals why "Sport" is part of her name. Click on the image to see a few more photos.)

Here we've got a 244.29cc 4-stroke pushing 15" wheels up to nearly 80 MPH all in a compact yet comfortable package. But, don't let that tiny frame fool you. This baby is SOLID and you're gonna need a little muscle to maneuver her with the engine off, due to her weigh of 326 lbs and that's without the 2.7 gallons of gas in her tank.

I'm very excited that Aprilia decided to bring the SportCity 250 to us (too bad the bike wasn't prepped for me to test ride today). All I can say is "thanks" to Warren over at Ducati Austin for giving us the scoop on her arrival. He said that he'd call us next week after she's been given her check up. JOY!

If you don't mind watching raw footage without audio, you can at least see how she handles here.

I believe the MSRP on the 2007 SportCity 250 i.e. is $4,599.00. Pricey? A bit, but when you look at the Honda Reflex at $6,049, the Honda Helix is 5,299, the Honda Big Ruckus is $5,499 and Vespa GTS 250 is $5,999 it seems to be a good deal. I'll have to verify that MSRP with Warren next week as well.

***Update***
As you know, I was a bit uncertain on that MSRP at $4,599.00, it seemed lower than I anticipated AND after hearing that the Scooter Diva's buyers guide had it listed at $6,299.00 I had to follow up. After checking with my local Aprilia shop it is confirmed at $4,599.00. Woohoo!

Looking forward to my test drive in the next couple weeks!
