NEW YORK, June 6, 2007 – With the introduction of their 2007 Aprilia SportCity 250, the Italian manufacturer lays down the gauntlet when the topic turns to serious scooter fun. The SportCity is a sophisticated machine packed with serious standard equipment, including a class-leading electronic fuel injected engine for fast acceleration, a rigid frame for sporty handling, superior wheel travel to absorb punishing potholes, large 15-inch wheels for a stable ride, triple disc brakes for rapid stops and double lights for superior visibility.
This scooter, inspired by the design and technology of Aprilia¹s award-winning sport bikes, is ready to carve its way through metro traffic or eat up highway miles. As a result, the SportCity 250 is a good choice for anyone who wants the economic and environmental benefits of owning a scooter without sacrificing the thrill of sporty riding. The electronic fuel-injected four-stroke engine sips fuel, returning up to61 miles for every gallon of gas while delivering strong acceleration off the line.
With peak power of 22.5 hp at 8,000 rpm and 15 ft.-lb. of torque at 6,250 rpm, the Sporty City is ready to sprint away from the pack, accelerating from 0 to 50 mph in just 7 seconds and offering a top speed rating of 79 mph. The scooter also stops on a dime in seconds, thanks to a large triple brake system. The scooter¹s performance potential is elegantly managed by an equally high-performance chassis, featuring a high-strength tubular steel frame with excellent torsional rigidity. A hydraulic telescopic front fork with generous 3.9² of wheel travel and rear double hydraulic shock with adjustable preload contributes to a superior ride on even the roughest roads. Large 15-inch wheels and high-profile tires provide a motorcycle-quality smooth ride.

Built to comfortably accommodate two scooteristi, the SportCity also has generous cargo capacity, including a luggage rack with passenger grab handles and under-seat storage big enough to accommodate an extra helmet and personal items. An additional lockable storage compartment integrated behind the leg guard is equipped with a power outlet for phone recharges on-the-go. The Aprilia SportCity 250 has a manufacturer¹s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $4,599.
