 Aprilia SR50 R Factory
Aprilia
SR50 R Factory Ditech - Uncompromising racing design with the most
advanced engine technology of any scooter, see specs below!
Aprilia’s SR 50 has set the pace for scooter technology ever since it
was introduced in 1992. With the SR 50, Aprilia was the first manufacturer
to offer a real sports scooter, creating a whole new market segment.
Despite numerous attempts by the competition over the years, the SR50 has
remained the undisputed market leader, thanks to continuous upgrades in
technology that have kept it beyond the reach of other scooters. The SR
has set records at an incredible rate.
1992: the SR 50 was the first ever sports scooter
1993: the SR 50 was the first ever Racing Replica scooter
1994: the SR 50 was the first ever sports scooter with liquid cooling
1997: the SR 50 was the first ever scooter with two disc brakes
1999: the SR 50 was the first ever 50 cc scooter with electronic fuel
injection
On top of all this, the SR50 has always been instantly recognizable for
its “big bike” characteristics like large diameter wheels, super-low
profile tires and top quality hydraulic suspensions.
The Aprilia SR50 is universally recognized as the scooter to beat, as
sales of over 800,000 units show. The SR has become a legend in its own
time. It is also the scooter most in demand by young riders and all those
who have a passion for sport and the world of motorcycle racing. More than
a scooter, the SR is a way of life. The best is not good enough for
Aprilia! Research is continuous and unstoppable and the epoch-making
innovations only recently introduced on Aprilia’s technological
flagship, the RSV 1000, have already made their appearance on the new SR
too. The SR resembles the RSV 1000 R Factory not just in appearance but in
technical solutions too.
Now the SR is completely new. More modern in style, this latest SR also
boasts better performance, reduced fuel consumption and greater
reliability thanks to a second generation Ditech fuel injected engine. It
even has a brand new frame for better than ever “big bike” handling.
And when it comes to equipment, the SR 50 Factory is the flagship the
others have to beat.

The SR 50’s uncompromising sports look accurately replicas the world of
racing. As always, Aprilia is not content to offer the best technology
available, but insists on the best design too. Technology and passion go
hand in hand on the SR50 R Factory. Its aggressive styling is clearly
inspired by the RSV 1000 R Factory to guarantee head-turning beauty and
emotion-packed riding.
See the SR 50 R Factory once and you’ll agree. It really is a “Mini
RSV”. Family feeling is clear not just from the graphics, but from the
technical solutions too. The streamlined leg-shield, powerful twin
headlights, central air intake, and aerodynamic tail with integrated tail
light and indicators are all just like those fitted to Aprilia’s
supersports flagship. On the SR50 R Factory attention to detail has
reached heights never previously seen on any sports scooter. Even the
color schemes are new, aggressive and lively, just as they should be on a
sports machine that refuses to compromise.
The first ever scooter equipped with a fuel injected two stroke engine is
now powered by a second generation Ditech engine. A new, more compact air
filter and a special new exhaust design have increased performance and
further reduced the engine’s already miserly fuel consumption. This
generous 50 cc single cylinder engine also boasts a long list of
innovations to improve functioning and make it more reliable than ever.

APRILIA SR50 DITECH ENGINE
If you know anything about scooters and know what you
want, the SR is the scooter! It’s got bags of appeal!
See it once and you’ll fall in love with it. Then,
when it’s yours, you just can’t help getting
noticed. The SR50 doesn’t just look fantastic with
its race derived styling…It’s got performance
to match, from aprilia’s racing technology and passion
for speed. The secret is in the ditech engine, with its
electronic direct injection technology and liquid cooling.
This engine is what makes the SR 50 a really different
scooter, one you can feel free to demand more from. The
Sr just gives you more control, more acceleration, and
more riding-pleasure. Ride an SR and live in a whole new
world of freedom and fun riding.
DITECH MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.
If you like getting about, why not enjoy yourself in
the process? That’s what the SR 50 Ditech is all
about: making riding a pleasure every inch of the way,
even on roads you do every day. Its 13° wheels with
wide, low profile tyres really glue you to the road
and the bike feel an extension of your body. And the
front and rear disk brakes give you needle-sharp stopping
power under all conditions. No-compromise power and
safety is the name of the game.
MEAN OF FUEL, NOT ON FUN.
The SR 50 gives you the satisfaction of getting more
miles for your money. The math's is easy: less money
on fuel = more miles traveled. All thanks to an electronic
injection system that gives you smoother, more powerful
acceleration but reduces consumption at the same time
(50% less fuel and 60% less oil). The Aprilia SR50 can give
you 50 km and more from one liter of fuel. Quite a record!
The SR 50 Ditech also respects the environment like
no other engine; emissions are down an incredible 80%,
so there’s no need for a catalytic exhaust. This
means you can get even better performance and still
stay within the latest emission laws.
HOW DOES THE DITECH ENGINE WORK?
Unlike traditional two-stroke engines, the petrol is
injected directly into the combustion chamber by a sophisticated
injector regulated by an electronic control unit. The
“heart” of the Ditech technology is the
air-fuel-rail consisting of a fuel injector measuring
the precise quantity of fuel and a direct injector which
mixes the fuel and the air sent to the compressor and
injects it into the combustion chamber. The fuel/air
mixture is nebulised and electronically controlled to
ensure perfect combustion, drastically reducing fuel
combustion and further improving performance. This is
why the SR 50 ditech consumes and pollutes less, while
the output of the engine is exploited to the full. As
well as optimizing the functioning and performance of
the engine, the electronic control unit also means simpler
and cheaper performance.
NOW CHOOSE YOUR SR50
Only the SR 50 Ditech transforms technology into a design
with so much style. The SR comes out tops in sheer looks
as well as performance. Its aggressive, aerodynamic
front, race style, back-lit instruments, and wind-tunnel

The style and components of the SR 50 Ditech simply
set it apart from the rest. The SR’s sport appeal
makes it the world’s first real sport scooter.
