1999 Aprilia Sonic Gp 50 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Aprilia's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 1999 Aprilia Sonic Gp 50 utilizes a 49.3 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.2 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 0.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Sonic Gp 50 measures 180 kg (397 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,175 mm (46.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 99.99 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 8 km (5 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 48 km/h (30 mph).
