VERDICT
Aprilia RS 150 looks damn sporty and just looks like its on beast mode for being a 150cc motorcycle. It comes with a dual channel ABS and is really a head turner but we can’t comment that the product shown in the AutoExpo would be the same model that will hit the roads. But we can say one thing its japanese rivals must be in tension specially Yamaha YZF R15 as it has ruled the indian marked for 150cc sport bike and now there is someone to give them a strong challenge.
But in the starting batch there are some concerns related to the after sales service network and long life.
We can only hope for the best now because the India Two-wheeler market is growing at a very fast pace and that is the great news for the bike enthusiasts.
