In 1985, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Aprilia ETX 125, a small displacement motorcycle that debuted in 1994. It came with the same package as the previous model without significant modifications.

The Aprilia ETX was a series of off-road motorcycles manufactured by Aprilia in Noale, Italy. The bikes were manufactured in three versions: the 125cc model with a two-stroke engine and the 350cc and 600cc versions with four-stroke engines.

The bike had standard features in the aesthetic department, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small front cowl with a small rectangular headlight, small side fairings, a one-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike was manufactured around a single steel beam cradle frame with a 35 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and a dual-sided swingarm coupled to a single shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance.

As for the braking power, the motorcycle was fitted on the 21-inch front wheel with a 230 mm brake disc, while the 18-inch rear wheel was controlled by a 125 mm drum braking unit, delivering optimum braking performance.

In the power department, the 1985 Aprilia ETX 125 had its soul brought to life by a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 18 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm.
