In 1987, the Italian motorcycle maker launched the Aprilia ETX 125, a small displacement motorcycle part of the ETX series that debuted in 1984. The bike was in its fourth consecutive year of production and delivered the same specifications.

The bike debuted in 1984 at Noale Company as an off-road machine and was manufactured until 2001 when it was replaced by the Tuareg 125 version, which packed a larger fuel tank. In addition, two larger displacement versions were produced, like the 350cc ETX and 600cc ETX. The 600cc model never went into production.

Visually, the 125cc and 350cc were similar, while the smaller one packed standard fittings, such as a high-mounted front fender, a square headlight, a one-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, a dual-sided swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike was built around a single steel beam cradle frame with a 35 mm Marzocchi hydraulic telescopic fork and a 230 mm brake disc on the front. The rear end was controlled by a single shock absorber and a 125 mm drum braking unit.

As for the power figures, the 1987 Aprilia ETX 125 had its heartbeat set by a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine placed underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 18 hp with a peak force at 8,250 rpm.

A six-speed manual transmission was bolted to the engine, taking the power and converting it into motion via a final chain drive that spun the rear wheel to a top speed of 122 kph (76 mph).
