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. The RS4125 was fitted with a 3.83 Gallon (14.50 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 407.86 pounds (185.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 53.15 inches (1350 mm) long.

==Overview==
==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.

The Aprilia RS4 125 is the perfect way for young riders to take the first steps in the world of sport bikes. The small-displacement should now fool you into believing you're looking at a compromise, toy-like machine. The whole bike is in fact derived from Aprilia's racing program and is loaded with top technology to offer young riders the best way to get acquainted to the real sport bikes.


EFI, quickshift, an aluminium perimeter frame, SBK-inspired bodywork and all, they make the RS4 125 a truly sweet beginner machine.

The RS4125 is renamed the RS125 for 2017, to celebrate 25 years of the RS model. The new RS125 version is available in two liveries: Silver Speed and Black Speed. Probably the biggest difference with this revamped family involves the powerplant. While the previous generation ran with a two-stroke engine, its successor packs in a cleaner, liquid-cooled, four-stroke thumper. The one-lung mill is slightly oversquare with a 58 mm bore and 47 mm stroke for a total displacement of 124.2 cc and a relatively warm 12.5-to-1 compression ratio.
