APRILIA 125 AF1 Futura (1990-1991) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia AF1 was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia in 1986 and continued production until 1993. The bike was available in 50cc and 125cc and spread around several series.

In 1990, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia AF1 Futura, a sports motorcycle that featured the same characteristics as the Sintesi version with rounder fairings and the return of the rectangular headlight.

The bike's aesthetic department was characterized by standard fittings such as a full fairing with a rectangular headlight, a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a high-mounted single exhaust system with a muffler on the left side, a single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 38 mm upside-down telescopic fork with 120 mm of travel on the front and a single shock absorber with 120 mm of travel on the rear.

The bike's 17-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels were fitted with a 320 mm brake disc tied to a four-piston caliper on the front and a 240 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the rear.

As for the power figures, the 1990 Aprilia 125 AF1 Futura had its heartbeat set by a 124cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a 28 mm Dell'Orto carburetor feeding the piston, boasting 30 hp at 8,800 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) torque at 10,000 rpm.
