This little thing was on offer. So it came home with me.
Aprilia SR GT 200.

That looks like a lot of fun!
Any plans for what you’ll be using it for?

It's supposed to be for longer day trips when I cannot be bothered to charge my Zero few times in a day. This tops up faster. The Zero will still be my daily rider to and from work. The economy cannot be beaten. But I haven't figured out what to do about the Aventura 307 I reserved.
What can I say? It was on offer and I was weak.

Now for a bigger screen and a top box. There is a nice space under the seat, but the helmet doesn't fit there.

Sounds and looks good

Last year we went to Gran Canaria and rented a Versys 650 for 3 days to ride the fantastic roads, thankfully it came with a topbox to put extra clothes/food etc in but on occasions it was a pain for my Wife to wear an additional rucksack for walking gear. This year we have rented a Honda adv350 scooter and despite my initial doubts it is actually turning out to be a much better option. The underseat storage was really great for fetching supermarket shopping, once emptied it out we filled it up with beach stuff and put walking gear in the topbox. Arriving at the beach we took out our swimming stuff and put the helmets under the seat, no need for SWMBO to wear a rucksack at all and the seat is 'all day' comfy. I'm a convert.

Absolutely, it’s essentially a bit better looking version of my Forza 350. I think it’s 40 litres under the seat. Fantastic! I think I tried getting in one a few years back….

I thought you had made a typo.

I enjoyed my time with the 350 but missed the lightweight, manoeuvrability and great mpg of the PCX, so yesterday traded in my 350 for a new PCX125.

Took it out for a 60 mile first trip and though I missed the power of the 350, the 125 did admirably and even returned an mpg of 161!!

Looking forward to many miles on this one

I’m 421 miles in to my little 40bhp Scrambler 400X down from 90bhp odd from the 900 Rally Pro.
Still running in so restricted to 6k and, obviously, overtaking needs rather more circumspection and I am missing it BUT the 40kg weight reduction massively compensates.
So easy to move around and so flickable on the road.
I am loving it (a quick 80 miles today) and looking forward to unleashing all those horses and not having to keep a check on the rev counter.

Enjoy the new bike.

Welcome back to the <125 club.
I personally swear that the weight difference and smoother engine more than make up for the power reduction.
