APRILIA 125 AF1 Futura (1991-1992) Specs, Performance & Photos

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

In 1991, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia AF1 Futura, a sports machine in its second year of production, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model without significant modifications.

In the visual department, the bike had standard features 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 1991 Aprilia AF1 Futura had its soul brought to life by a 124cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a 28 mm Dell'Orto carburetor in charge, boasting 30 hp at 8,800 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) torque at 10,000 rpm.

As for suspension, the bike was fitted with 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, offering optimum handling capabilities.

Braking-wise, the motorcycle rolled on 17-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels 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.
