1999 Aprilia Habana Custom 50cc scooter

Featured Replies

Since i've passed my test, don't often use my scooter, so figured i might as well sell it, although will be sad to see it go!

Its as the title says-a great looking beast as the picture show! It's had a hard life, but neverthless is still a great machine.

Good bits:

-Derestricted stock exhaust, so will do around 55mph, but is still nice and quiet, rather than being an annoying screamy thing.

-Nearly new uprated battery, plenty of cranking power for the cold mornings!

-Almost brand new tyres

-Will have 12 months MOT on it.

-Runs lovely!

-Great MPG

-Very cheap insurance

-Very comfy and easy to ride-my brother did a 5 hour journey to Reading from Exeter in it, and apart from cold toes, he had no complaints!

Bad bits:

-Occasionally is a stubborn starter (generally on cold mornings, with under 1/8th tank of fuel), but i fitted a pipe from underneath the seat into the air filter, and with a quick squirt of easy start, it goes a treat.

-Has a few scratches on it, and a crack on the front, where i foolishly let a friend ride it up his drive way! (have taken pictures of the worst scratches and the crack.)

-exhaust has been repaired, once with a patch welded on, and once with gun gum.

-a small part of the exhaust mounting on the engine has cracked off, so it was replaced with a stud which is not quite as strong, but more than ample for what it is needed for.

-No tax, but i can put tax on it for extra cost if you want to drive it away.

-some of the 'chrome' on the handlebars has started to oxidise, the worst parts are the brake levers (pictured)

-The lock mechanism for the seat, broke, so i removed it. You can't tell by looking at it, but in order to open the seat, you need to put your arm underneath the plastic body and pull a lever. It was never an issue with me, as i only kept a lock in the pocket (not big enough to fit a helmet in)

-there is a piece of trim missing in the foot well (pictured)

I've mentioned a lot of 'bad' bits, which make absolutely no difference to the bike, but just trying to be as honest as i possibly can!

I had a lot of fun on this bike, and loved driving it in all weather-its quite a big robust machine so i never felt unsafe in it in the wet or even on some the ice we had!

Most of all, its one of the best looking modern scooters i've come across, and certainly at this price!

Looking for £450-seen them go for a lot more than this! (they are nearly £2000 new)
