Difference between revisions of "Aprilia RS125"

Like [[Aprilia]]'s [[Aprilia RS50|RS50]], the RS125 has a very high level of equipment, performance and styling for its class. An aluminium 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 tyres, 40mm (0.8in) upside-down front forks and an aluminium swingarm with adjustable monoshock rear suspension, giving fine handling especially on the track.

It comes standard with a 40mm upside-down telescopic fork, a single shock absorber as a rear suspension, dual 320mm discs as a front braking system, a single seat, lightweight, cast-aluminium wheels, an aerodynamic full-fairing with a small windscreen for better protection against the elements and a digital instrumentation panel.

The 2007 MY Aprilia RS 125 R sports a liquid-cooled, two-stroke, 124cc, single cylinder engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and can produce  a claimed 28 horsepower and 19 Nm of torque. This machine comes standard with lightweight, Marchesini, cast-aluminium wheels, a race-derived, aerodynamic full-fairing, a large, 320mm front disc brake with a 4-piston caliper, an inverted fork as a front suspension and an adjustable monoshock in the rear, plus a small windscreen.
