Introduction

Aprilia - Sport City 125 Street (2012, ZD4VBM)

The Aprilia Sport City 125 Street is an urban scooter launched by the Italian manufacturer Aprilia in 2012. It belongs to the Sport City model range, known for its versatility and sporty design.
The Sport City models were developed to meet the demands of city traffic while providing a dynamic riding experience. The Sport City 125 Street is a special variant within this range, characterized by a modern, street-oriented design and adapted features aimed at commuter traffic and everyday city life.

Development and Positioning

The Sport City range was introduced in the early 2000s, with the Sport City 125 Street considered part of a later evolution of this model family.
While earlier models like the Sport City 125 One (2008-2011) focused on a broader target audience, the Street was presented in 2012 as a specific development that emphasizes the urban lifestyle even more.
Aprilia positioned the scooter in the 125cc segment, which is popular in Europe among younger riders and city commuters due to the A1 license class.
The Sport City 125 Street marks a phase where Aprilia further refined the model range to compete against rivals like Piaggio or Honda.
