2009 Aprilia SR 50 R Factory Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Aprilia's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Aprilia SR 50 R Factory relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.0 x 39.3 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 12.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the SR 50 R Factory measures 199 kg (439 lbs) dry.
