As a frequent motorcycle rider, I've compared the Aprilia 125 and 150 multiple times. The biggest difference lies in engine displacement: the 125cc is the most cost-effective for urban commuting, with low fuel consumption—only about 2 liters per 100 kilometers—and smooth acceleration that's easy to control, making it ideal for daily commutes or beginners. The 150cc, however, offers a significant upgrade, with engine power jumping from around 11kW to 14kW and noticeably more torque, delivering strong acceleration on highways and more thrilling overtaking. The trade-off is slightly higher fuel consumption, around 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers, but the extra cost is worth the thrill. Both bikes weigh roughly 120 kilograms, so handling differences are minimal. Price-wise, the 125 is a few thousand cheaper, while the 150 has slightly higher insurance and maintenance costs, especially with slightly higher engine wear over long-term use. Overall, if you're looking to save money and be eco-friendly, the 125 is the better choice. If you prioritize power, go for the 150—but be sure to test ride both before deciding.
