APRILIA RS 125 (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2004, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Aprilia RS 125, a small displacement sports replica created by Aprilia for the younger and less experienced riders who wanted an introduction to the sportbike world.

The 2004 RS 125 was released in the same shape and form as previous ones, offering the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

The 2004 Aprilia RS 125 was set in motion by a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mounted underneath its full fairing, delivering an output power of 34 hp at 11,250 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) torque at 10,000 rpm.

The engine worked in tandem with a six-speed transmission controlled by a wet multi-disc manual clutch that sent the power to the rear axle through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 171 kph (106 mph).

For suspension, the motorcycle had a 40 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm of travel and a single shock absorber on the rear with 120 mm wheel travel, delivering an optimum riding experience.

As for the stopping power, the bike's five-spoke alloy wheels were fitted with a 320 mm brake disc on the front tied to a four-piston caliper and a 240 mm brake disc on the rear squeezed by a dual-piston caliper, offering optimum braking power.
