Advantages: economical

Disadvantages: reliability issues with injectors

Compared to the Morini based SR50 carb model (ditech is also morini but with injectors) the ditech does have a few reliability issues, which admitidly Aprilia have worked on and mainly corrected with the piaggio based SR50R factory ditech and 2009 sr50 purejet. if looked after and kept stock, it is generally reliable, and has excellent fuel compumption, of around 200km to a tank. the main problem with the morini ditech is the injector has a tendancy to pack up, which is a pain to correct, and usually invoves buying a brand new genuine injector from aprilia. top speed on a stock ditech (derestricted) is around 60mph, after re mapping the injector.
Riding around town it makes a great form of transport, very comfortable to ride, and very maneuvorable as it sits generally high for a moped. it carrys speed round the tightest of corners, but dont go too mad, or your will end up watchin the bike dissapearing away from you.

Summary: buy carb model
