Hello guys,
I'm posting an ownership review after a long time.And,yes,I bought my first ever two wheeler under my name and that is Aprilia SR150.
Background:
I had started riding scooters when I was in 10th class and learnt driving on my maternal grandfather's 2012 Access 125,which is also with us now and ran just 18500 Kms in 6.5 years and I don't even know how to ride a geared bike till now.I had to use the Access by force due to personal reasons and I had thinked,why not having an own two wheeler for myself?Yes,this was in my mind since I had completed 18 years of age and since I had started pursuing degree.But,destiny had other plans and had to postpone buying a two wheeler.But,last year,when I was about to buy an Activa 4G or Aprilia SR150,my parents had got me the Access 125 of my grandfather's and had to ride it forcefully and I hate Access 125 to the core coz of poor brakes and suspension.But,I did around 8000 Kms in 10 months on Access until I buy myself a new one.After owning 2 cars at home,I felt that a 2 wheeler is a must at home as I feel lazy in getting groceries by walk and I used to go to college by cab until last year before getting Access.Access served my needs but,after few days of using it,I felt that this vehicle is too old for me to use it for daily rides to college.Hence,I had started searching myself a scooter since 2016.
Selection process:
1.Vespa-This is my favourite scooter when it comes to looks.I had ridden my friend's first lot of Vespa many times along with dealer TD vehicles and I loved it.But,had to struck it off as the Vespa is expensive at Rs.1L and only standard version was coming in my budget.
2.Dio-My another favourite one.I booked one last year by transferring Activa booking to Dio.But,destiny had other plans and had to drop this one and felt too old but matte grey is favourite in Dio.
3.Activa-Every second or third person has an Activa.Many of my relatives and friends own the same vehicle.Even our servant,who works at our native,owns an Activa 5G.But,considered this one as this is one of the trusted vehicles.It was there till final consideration until I had TD'ed Aprilia SR150.
Now,coming to Aprilia SR150,
I had ridden this when it was launched.First,I used to hate its looks but the looks has grown on me afterwards.I had taken several TD's of SR150 and felt this is the vehicle which I wanted and made for me
After TD'ing the SR150,I had decided to book it but destiny had other plans and booked Activa 4G and then transferred to Dio.That was happened an year ago.And,after an year,I had earned around Rs.6k and had decided to book a vehicle for myself.Finally,on June 18th,I had booked my Aprilia SR150 by paying Rs.5k to the dealer and had to take delivery of the vehicle after one month of booking although the vehicle readily available.Finally,after 2 years of convincing my parents to buy one for me,today I had bought my first ever two wheeler.
And,decided that Aprilia SR150 will be my new love.
Booking and dealer experience:
I had booked it at Radar Motors,Uppal,which is near to my home.This dealer has another two dealerships in Hyderabad.And,I had decided to go to Uppal dealer as this is near to my place.Booking experience was good and my manager was Nikesh,who was friendly and polite.He used to call me frequently after I booked the vehicle and I used to say there is a financial delay,I'll buy it very soon and he happily agreed on it.Today i.e 21/07/18 finally it was the day that I bought my vehicle and called my manager in the evening that I'm gonna take my vehicle today in Black colour.He said Black is not available and he had to procure it from another dealer.And,finally,at 5:45pm,I and my dad went to the dealership and completed all my formalities and paid full cash rather than buying on EMI.Since my desired colour was not available,my manager,who dealt with me,had sourced black one from another dealer.This made us wait for nearly 1.5 hrs and told my dad to go home and called my cousin,who is also an auto enthusiast.Then,after few mins,my manager had arrived with my vehicle with 3 Kms on odo.Then,washing and fitting of accessories like side stand and floor mat took sometime i.e around half an hr of arrival of vehicle and Nikesh got my vehicle washed before fitting those accessories and got the side stand and floor mat installed and the vehicle was all set for delivery.Again,I observed few water marks on it and immediately called that guy and made him clean the vehicle.Finally,my dream came true and took delivery of my vehicle along with pictures taken by dealer guy and my cousin,who has an iPhone 7 Plus.After taking the vehicle,I went to the petrol bunk and filled Rs.300 of fuel,which contains 3.7L of Petrol and odo at the time of filling petrol was 4 Kms and now I did 14 Kms after filling the fuel.As soon as I fill the Petrol in the vehicle,I had headed to nearby Hanuman temple along with my cousin coming in his Celerio driven by himself and the vehicle got all the blessings and headed to home directly after my dad had pestered me to get food for him.So,it was the chance to test my vehicle and did it successfully.After getting food for dad,I had parked my Aprilia behind our Honda City.
And,the OTR of my Aprilia is close to Rs.84000 along with side stand and floormat and I had purchased helmet from dealer for Rs.3000.
So,ladies and gentlemen,presenting you my "Night Fury” a.k.a Aprilia SR150.
Pics will follow soon.
