APRILIA ETX 125 (1995-1996) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1995, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia ETX125, a small-displacement entry-level motorcycle suitable for the novice and young among Aprilia's fans but also for the more experienced ones looking for a lightweight and agile bike.

The 1995 model, as previous models, came with the same technical, visual, and performance package, delivering the same specifications without significant changes whatsoever.

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

As previous models, the bike packed the same standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small front cowl with a small square headlight, small side fairings, a one-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, an under-seat-mounted exhaust, and wire-spoke wheels.

Power-wise, the 1995 Aprilia ETX 125 was set in motion by a 124cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a carburetor feeding the piston, boasting 18 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm.

The bike was built around a single steel beam cradle frame and packed as suspension a 35 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and a dual-sided swingarm tied to a single shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance.

From the factory, the bike rolled on wire-spoke wheels fitted with a 230 mm brake disc on the 21-inch front wheel and a 125 mm drum braking unit on the 18-inch rear wheel.
