Aprilia Habana 125 Reviews

I got an Habana custom 125 in july 2002, and 7 miles after first riding, the engine died. 3 weeks in the dealers hands (the shape of things to come). Since then, it has been claim after claim on the warrenty. 4 speedo cables, 3 mud guards, 5 spark plugs and a lot of train tickets later, I'm currently without a bike again.

UPDATE- Just thought I would post a view a bit further down the line in owning the Habana. So far covered about 7000kms and had a couple of trips to the mechanics. First was the standard service which was £90 and covered the oil and bits and bobs. Second trip was down to the fact that the front brake was making a hideous scraping noise ...  Read the complete review
