The Aprilia ETX was a line of off-road small-displacement motorcycles made 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.
In 1984, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Aprilia ETX 125, the smaller model of the family. It was produced between 1984 and 2001 and replaced by the Tuareg 125 model, which featured a larger fuel tank.
In 1985, the Aprilia ETX 350 was released as the second model in the family, with similar appearances and a different displacement. The 125cc was two-stroke, while the larger 350cc was four-stroke.
The bike had standard features in the visual department, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small front cowl with a rectangular headlight, a one-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, an under-seat-mounted exhaust, and wire-spoke wheels.
The ETX 350 model was built around a steel frame with a hydraulic telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling.
As for braking, the bike’s wire-spoke wheels were fitted with a 260 mm disc mounted on the front and a 230 mm disc mounted on the rear, delivering optimum stopping performance.
In the power department, the 1990 Aprilia ETX 350 had its soul brought to life by a 349cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine with a Dell'Orto carburetor feeding the piston, delivering 33 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 28 Nm (21 lb-ft) torque at 6,250 rpm.
