For me, Social Distancing is the word of the year and rightly so. The world has changed a lot since the emergence of COVID-19 with the citizens forced to stay at home and practice social distancing. India took concrete attempts to rein down the virus transmission by implementing nationwide lockdown.
With the lockdown easing, Bollywood bombshell Shraddha Kapoor took the decision of enjoying the fresh air of Mumbai with her rumoured beau Rohan Shreshth. Ace celebrity photographer Rohan Shreshth was driving the Aprilia SR 125 while she took the pillion seat. The rumours of Shraddha dating Rohan have been swirling around for ages and now the latest image adds to the grapevine. Maharashtra government had relaxed the lockdown, thus the two thought of running some errands. Lockdown is still enforced in the containment zones as Maharashtra government attempts to curtail the COVID-19 virus spread.
The BS6 Aprilia SR125 was unveiled at the Auto Expo 2020 but there was no change in engine performance and designs vis-a-vis the outdated BS4 model. The introductory price for Aprilia SR 125 was Rs Rs 92,181 (Ex-Showroom, India) with a premium of Rs 20,000 over the BS4 models. The instrument cluster of the scooter is equipped with a twin-pod analogue unit for odometer, fuel gauge and speedometer. Design-wise, it looks similar to the bigger sibling SR 150. Aprilia SR125 is built on the tubular steel frame while it comes with a higher set grab rail, 14-inch wheels and wider seat for more comfort.
If we talk about the engine, Aprilia SR125 is powered by the engine that’s also present in the Vespa 125. The 124.7cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine delivers 9.38 bhp of maximum power and 9.9 Nm of peak torque. Braking responsibility is handled by a 220mm front disc and a 140mm rear drum setup.
Shraddha Kapoor was last seen in Baaghi 3 co-starring Tiger Shroff while making a cameo in Malang. With Coronavirus affecting schedules, Shraddha Kapoor is getting a well-deserved break presently.
