Max [[torque]] was 8.04 ft/lbs (10.9 Nm) @ 8250 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 14.62 HP (10.9 KW) @ 10500 RPM.  

==Engine==
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] single cylinder, two-stroke. A 58.0mm [[bore]] x 47.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 124.8 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc).

==Drive==
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the multi-plate in oil bath..  

==Chassis==
It came with a 110/80-17 front [[tire]] and a 130/70-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc. stainless steel disc with radial 4 piston caliper in the front and a single disc. single 30 mm piston in the rear. The front suspension was a  upside down hydraulic fork, 40 mm. while the rear was equipped with a asymmetric swingarm with monoshock.

==Overview==
Like [[Aprilia]]'s [[Aprilia RS50|RS50]], the RS125 has a very high level of equipment, performance and styling for its class. An aluminum alloy perimeter beam frame holds an advanced liquid-cooled two-stroke engine. The 125cc single-cylinder motor uses a ceramic-type coating on the cylinder to cut friction and wear, while modern intake and exhaust designs boost power to over 194kW (260bhp)/litre.

The aerodynamic fairing echoes the designs of Apt-ilia's GP machinery, and there have been various race-replica paint schemes. The RS125 has a high-specification chassis design, with wide, sporty tires, 40mm (0.8in) upside-down front forks and an aluminum swingarm with adjustable monoshock rear suspension, giving fine handling especially on the track.
