That's the character of Piaggio designed engine..

All Vespa has that.. also Recently just did test ride the SR GT Aprilia, also Vibrates while idling, maybe due to that Italians put stop start feature during idling.

Am considering this for my daily ride to work. To and fro would be around 120km.

Do you remember anything good or bad about this scooter?

Thanks

Good,

1. More powerful than average 150cc class scooter. Especially on acceleration.
2. Compact size.
3. Awesome brakes both front and rear.
4. Bright headlight and tail light.
5. Strong support from the Distributorship (Motoplex)
6. Pirelli dual purpose tires for scooter (good grip) as standard.

Bad,

1. Bad rear suspension, too soft even at the hardest level (don't try to pillion anyone with more than 50kg of weight at the back)
2. EXPENSIVE for a 170cc scooter
3. Vibration during idle, but they have stop start engine system.
4. You can get a faster, or bigger scooter with less money, it just minus the Continental branding.
5. Slight expensive  on maintenance compare to the Asian counterparts.

My advice, if 120km I assume you need to go through some Highway? then with the 20k take a 250cc scooter, either XMAX, or those WMoto/Modenas models.

Thanks for the heads-up. Appreciate it very much.

I love that Aprilia has the steel braided brake hose, Nissin brakes and Showa absorbers as standard. The one that I tested has Michelin Anakee specially made for the SR GT.

First choice would be XMAX 300/250 SP Edition that comes with Ohlins as standard at the back. If only HLYM bring those beauties in.

They did come with Racing Boy parts, especially the rear absorber, make the SR GT firmer but harsher on the Malaysia road.

Thanks for the info.

Just received info that HLYM will be bringing in the XMAX SP Edition. The 250 version will be in Malaysia next year. Exact date/month however still not available.
