The '''[[Aprilia]] AF1 Futura''' was a liquid-cooled, two-stroke, single cylinder Sport Bike [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Aprilia]] in 1992. Max [[torque]] was 14.01 ft/lbs (19.0 Nm) @ 10000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 30.04 HP (22.4 KW) @ 8800 RPM. | |||
==Engine== | |||
A 53.3mm [[bore]] x 53.3mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 124.0 cubic centimeters. | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a gear transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-disc, manual. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 110/80-17 front [[tire]] and a 130/70-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single 320mm disc, 2-piston caliper in the front and a single 240mm disc, 1-piston caliper in the rear.

For mile after mile I’d been charging. Tearing down the straights and scratching through the bends as fast as I could go: head behind the bubble, throttle hard against its stop, ears ringing with the sound of straining two-stroke engine, brakes left late for the bends, knee stuck out as I swept through the corners with a nudge on the low-set bars. | For mile after mile I’d been charging.

If you’re a 17-year-old learner with that sort of money to burn, then by now you probably don’t need directions to the nearest Aprilia showroom. Anyone else would have to be pretty sure that they really wanted to get their two-wheeled kicks from head-down, no-nonsense mindless boogie on a bike with the cornering power and charisma of a Ferrari but the out-and-out speed of a Fiat Panda. | If you’re a 17-year-old learner with that sort of money to burn, then by now you probably don’t need directions to the nearest Aprilia showroom.
