APRILIA Classic 125 (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia Classic 125 was an American-styled cruiser motorcycle powered by a small-displacement engine. The bike featured classic cruiser styling and was suitable for novice riders searching for a classic-style motorcycle with modern technologies.

The bike was presented at the 1991 EICMA Show and released into the cruising world in 1992. Compared to the Red Rose model in the first series, the Classic version featured a lower and more modern package and a very low tapered-style exhaust system, just like the ones on Harley-Davidson models.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 33-degree rake telescopic fork on the front that offered 120 mm wheel travel and two hydraulic shock absorbers on the rear with 70 mm of travel, providing optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the braking power, the bike's wire-spoke wheels were fitted with a 230 mm disc on the front coupled to a dual-piston caliper and a 160 mm drum braking unit on the rear, offering optimum stopping performance.

In the power department, the 2000 Aprilia Classic 125 had installed a 124cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its teardrop-shaped fuel tank, boasting 15 hp with a peak force at 6,600 rpm and 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
