"The really exciting news came at the end of 1995, with the introduction of the liquid-cooled SR, instantly identifiable from the grille above the twin headlamps on the fairing. As before, there was the choice of Standard SR or the Replica." - Mick Walker, Aprilia The Complete Story.
This cute Aprilia scooter is an homage to the factory's RS125 Grand Prix racer, the machine that took the incomparable Valentino Rossi to the first of his seven World Championships in 1997 (note the 'Rossifumi' and 'Nastro Azzurro' decals). Supplied new by Market Motorcycles of Tring, Hertfordshire, the Aprilia was acquired by Robin 23rd September 2004 having had one previous owner. 'T469 MPP' was last taxed to 31st July 2015, while the most recent MoT expired on 5th June 2021. The current odometer reading is just 3, 710 kilometres. Following a period of storage recommissioning will be required before it returns to the road. Included in the sale is an Aprilia use and maintenance manual; an original accessories booklet; warranty and initial sales information (booklet unstamped); PDI certificate; some expired MoTs; and a V5C Registration Certificate. It should be noted that the V5C records the engine number as 'PA019094'. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
