At the heart of the 2008 Aprilia SportCity 200 scooter motorcycle, Aprilia features a 197.9 cc (12.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25.3 HP (18.5 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 19 Nm (14 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 127.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the SportCity 200 measures 148 kg (326 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.85 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 117 km/h (73 mph).
