The Aprilia SR Motard 125 is a sporty, urban-oriented scooter produced by the Italian manufacturer Aprilia between 2012 and 2014. It belongs to the SR Motard range, known for blending Supermotard-inspired design with the everyday practicality of a scooter.
The model was developed to offer riders in the 125 cc class an agile, reliable, and stylish vehicle suitable for both city commuting and short intercity trips. In many countries, the SR Motard 125 can be ridden with an A1 licence or a car licence with the appropriate extension.

Model History

The SR Motard range was introduced in 2012 as an extension of the successful SR series, aimed particularly at younger riders and urban commuters. Its design took inspiration from Supermotard motorcycles, featuring sporty-aggressive lines, a prominent high front mudguard, and sharp, angular styling.
The SR Motard 125 (2012–2014, LBMM703) was the larger-engine variant alongside the 50 cc model, offering more power for riders with a higher licence category.
It was positioned as a cost-effective, easy-to-maintain, yet stylish alternative to models such as the Yamaha Xenter 125 or Honda SH125i.
