In 1998, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia ETX 125, an entry-level small-displacement off-road motorcycle that debuted in 1984. Over its production period, the bike remained essentially unchanged.

The bike was part of the ETX line that debuted in 1984 with the ETX 125 two-stroke model, followed by the ETX 350 four-stroke model, and the 600cc version that never entered production and remained at a prototype level.

Compared to previous models, the 1998 ETX 125 featured the same package, delivering the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without significant modifications whatsoever.

The motorcycle had 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.

In the suspension department, the bike packed 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 and handling capabilities.

As for the stopping power, the bike's wire-spoke wheels were 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.

The 1998 Aprilia ETX 125 had its heartbeat set by a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mounted at its core, boasting an output power of 18 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm.
