2025 Aprilia SR 175 Launched In India At Rs 1.26 Lakh
Aprilia SR 175 scooter has been launched in the Indian market at a starting price of Rs 1.26 lakh (ex-showroom). It replaces the SR 160 in the brand's lineup. While the scooter shares similar sporty styling with its predecessor, it features changes to its powertrain aimed at enhancing performance by generating more power. As implemented by the name, it now has a bigger engine with a bigger displacement. Specifically, the Aprilia SR 175 is now powered by a 174.7 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine with a three-valve setup. The changes incorporated in the engine come in the form of a larger bore, increasing the power from 11.27 hp in SR 160 to 12.92 hp at 7,200 rpm and 14.14 Nm at 6,000 rpm. While the SR 160 had a 13.44 Nm of peak torque. Also Read: BMW S 1000 RR Achieves 1000 Units Sales Milestone In India As mentioned earlier, the Aprilia SR 175 shares similarities with the SR 160. However, to improve its aesthetic appeal, the brand has added a new paint scheme inspired by the middle-weight sport bike RS 457. This is in the form of a white with red and the other with purple with red. This, combined with the sporty design, makes it step into the territory of the Hero Xoom 160 and the Yamaha Aerox 155. One significant update to the SR 175 is the introduction of a color TFT display, which resembles the unit found on the RS 457 and Tuono 457. However, the interface and animations differ noticeably. Similar to the 457 models, the display includes Bluetooth connectivity, enabling smartphone pairing through the Aprilia app for call notifications, alerts, and music management. In terms of mechanics, the components, such as the frame, suspension, brakes, and tires, seem to remain the same as those of the SR 160. The scooter is equipped with 14-inch wheels on both the front and rear, fitted with wide 120-section tires. Braking is managed by a front disc featuring single-channel ABS, along with a rear drum brake.

Marquez battles back to win German GP
*Marc Marquez wins 10th sprint of season *Marquez overtakes Bezzecchi in final lap *Marquez extends championship lead to 78 points SACHSENRING, Germany: Ducati's Marc Marquez overcame a nightmare start to snatch a dramatic last-lap victory in treacherous, wet conditions to claim a record-breaking 10th sprint win of the MotoGP season at the German Grand Prix on Saturday. The Ducati rider had plummeted to fourth after going wide at turn one despite securing a seventh pole position of the season , but he mounted a masterful comeback before overtaking Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi on the final lap. Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo finished third to complete the podium while VR46 Racing's Fabio Di Giannantonio and Pramac Racing's Jack Miller rounded out the top five. The victory saw Marquez become the first rider to win 10 sprints in a season as he extended his championship lead to 78 points over his brother Alex, who finished eighth. "In the beginning of the race, I was struggling. I did a mistake on turn one, the exit on the start. And then I lost some positions," Marquez said. "But then, step-by-step I got the rhythm, like in the practice... I'm happy because we take 12 points again in the sprint. But if tomorrow is wet (during the race), we need to brake a bit more before overtaking somebody." Marquez shot off the line with what seemed like a dream getaway, only to surrender the lead immediately as he went wide on turn one and fell to fourth while Bezzecchi seized control. As Marquez looked to move up the pack, he had Di Giannantonio to contend with as the VR46 Racing rider overtook him twice in a dogged battle for fourth place. Di Giannantonio's teammate Franco Morbidelli had moved up to second but he crashed heavily on lap four and the Italian rider was thrown off his bike and sent tumbling across the gravel. Morbidelli was diagnosed with a severe contusion to the left collarbone and was taken to hospital for further checks. As Marquez picked up the pace, he battled past Di Giannantonio and then set his sights on Quartararo, who had made a brilliant start despite being seventh on the grid. But Marquez was soon setting fastest laps and he quickly found his way past Quartararo on lap nine, nearly losing control of his rear tyre before recovering his balance to stay in second. Bezzecchi still held a lead of more than a second to Marquez but the Ducati rider was determined to reel in the Aprilia as he piled the pressure on the Italian sprint leader. Like a hunter stalking his prey, Marquez closed in and waited for the right moment to pounce -- on the start-finish straight on the final lap. — Reuters

6-Time Moto GP Champion Marc Marquez Pulls Off Viral 'Aura Farming' Celebration
Germany: Marc Marquez won a bruising German MotoGP on Sunday to mark his 200th premier class start in style and stretch his lead in the world championship. His brother Alex Marquez took second with Francesco Bagnaia third as only 10 riders finished, the lowest number completing a MotoGP since 2011. While the rest of the grid struggled to remain on their bikes at this notoriously tricky Sachsenring track, Marc Marquez enjoyed a dream afternoon. Setting off from pole he was never challenged, crossing the line over six seconds clear for his seventh perfect weekend of 2025 having also won Saturday's sprint. At the midway stage of the 22-race campaign Marquez leads brother Alex by 83 points in the riders' standings, with his Ducati factory teammate Bagnaia a yawning 147 off the lead. "My confidence is super high now coming here with three wins in a row and now it's four," beamed Marquez. "I have to be really concentrated for the second half of the season," he added. — Enzo (@Aperta) July 13, 2025 His younger sibling was competing despite fracturing his left hand at the Dutch MotoGP a fortnight ago. "It's unbelievable, thanks to the doctors and everyone that I'm here," he said after his 100th MotoGP start. For Marquez this was his seventh race win of the year and fourth on the trot as he tightens his grip on a seventh MotoGP world title - and first since 2019 - to draw level with the legendary Valentino Rossi. Despite sunshine taking over from Saturday's rain, the race proved one of the most attritional in years with eight riders crashing and two unable to take part after coming a cropper on Saturday. The last time only 10 riders completed a MotoGP was in Australia, 14 years ago. Pole-sitter Marquez enjoyed an electric getaway from the front of the grid, in contrast to 24 hours earlier. Then, a first turn mistake had dropped him down the pack, and it wasn't until his last lap overtake of Marco Bezzecchi that he wrapped up his 10th sprint out of 11. On a dry track, Marquez quickly pulled clear of the chasing pack led by Fabio Di Giannantonio, who had set a new lap record in practice on Friday. With Marquez set fair for another demolition job - he'd pulled almost two seconds clear by lap 10 of 30 - his main danger was maintaining focus and concentration around the ultra-demanding circuit with its short straights and tight bends in the former East Germany. Others were not enjoying their afternoon at one of the toughest venues on the calendar quite so much - notably Pedro Acosta and Miguel Oliveira who both crashed out. On lap 18 Di Giannantonio and Johann Zarco also hit the deck independently at turn one. That left Bezzecchi's Aprilia chasing Marquez, a distant four-and-a-half seconds up the road. But that situation only lasted until the following lap when Bezzecchi became the latest victim of turn one. The DNF tally swelled even further with the exits of Lorenzo Savadori, Ai Ogura and former champion Joan Mir. Two riders unable to line up on Sunday were KTM-Tech 3 duo Maverick Vinales, out with a fractured shoulder after a heavy fall in qualifying, and his appendicitics-hit teammate Enea Bastianini. Also missing was Franco Morbidelli after his bone-crunching crash in Saturday's sprint. The MotoGP season moves on to Czechia next Sunday where all eyes will be on defending champion Jorge Martin. The luckless Spaniard has not finished a race this season after a series of heavy crashes, but has set his sights on Brno for his return to action.
