Aprilia Habana 125

brought the Aprilia Habana 125 bike yesterday for £325, i think ive got a bargin, 125 cc haban custom. needs a few tweeks, new rear brake cable, but ive had a little go on it today and woowee it a good bike.... recommend this to anybody.

My Aprilia habana 125 Retro is easy to handle and easy to use. Very reliable and is great for commuting. It is now 5 years old and has 9800 miles on the clock, the exhaust is still in good shape with visual exterior rust, but still solid.

Overal exelent bike with good exeleration for a scooter and exelent handling.

I've ridden motorbikes for years until recently I bought a flat so needed to sell my pride and joy (Honda CBR 600). I decided that my commute was only 7 miles and I was limited to 40mph on local roads so went for the scooter option. I have no complaints at all about the Aprilia Habana. I have ridden to Stansted airport from London and top speed was about 75-80mph on a long downhill. It felt stable enough on the motorway but i wouldnt do it every day as you need to keep the speed up around 80 mph maxed out these days all the time to feel totally safe around other road users. I hadto get the 125 and it's surprisingly quick. Off the lights it pulls away nicely and is very easy to ride. You can't ride it like a motorbike round corners due to the exhaust positioning but it handles very well indeed. TPFT insurance was about £150 for a year and tax is £15! A full tank costs £6/7 and lasts about 100 miles. Only small complaint is the speedo is in Kmh and can be a bit of a pain working out the speed approaching speed cameras. What else can I say - I love it! One bit of advice is don't buy one that needs work doing as it can be expensive. They're very cheap second hand anyway so dont be tight and pay a little bit extra for a good one or get a bargain on ebay like me. Happy riding!

I have owned 4 and have been pleased with all of them.

I bought my Aprilia Habana because of it's prominent rear end. No kidding!It has the ideal proportions for me, it's a classic, retro style scooter with enough power to ride smoothly.I love it dearly and even after 7 years I couldn't say there's another scooter I'd prefer.

The Aprilia Habana is the most stylish bike in Belfast. I bought mine beginning of last summer and I use it daily. And in Ireland, that is some feat. I have just came back fom a trip from Slovakia to Belfast via Dublin. Not a problem. It took me and two very full saddle bags, bit of a wide vehicle. Only problem was my back. Parts wise, just get on the web and don't be in too much of a rush.

Firstly the bike is called a Mojito in Australia, I'm not sure if this is the same everywhere now. Also I'll point out that I've got the 150cc model not the 125 or 50. I don't think the 150 is available new and the last one's produced were 2005. This is my first scooter but having tested out a few others this is one of the only one's that gives me sufficient leg room. The Vespa's have got the name but that's about it in comparison - every time I turned the handlebars they'd hit my knees!

I'd recommend the bike to anyone!

I bought the Aprilia Habana 125 last week and its the best bike I've ever had, very fast and sounds and looks very cool, people have been saying that the speedo cable keeps snapping because its too tight, but this can be easily slackened off by breaking the seals on that stupidly placed rubber stopper halfway down the cable by sliding a flat head screwdriver under it, then sliding the stopper down. Problem solved. This bike is very fast I have reached 70mph in about 7 seconds! It starts first time every time, and the Aprilia locking bolt is a stroke of genius. One downside about the Aprilia is finding parts for it, does anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced performance pipe for it? I would recommend this bike to anyone.

This is the first scooter I have ever had, and I love it. Has got class and a little different than most modern scooters. I love it.

This Aprilia Habana 125 is my first scooter - I wanted something different from all those chavy scooters and this is definitely it. I don't work for Aprilia by the way (lol) I just really enjoy this wee bike. If you wanna know anything else feel free to leave me a comment.
