In 1993, the Italian motorcycle maker launched the Aprilia RS 125 Extrema, an entry-level sports motorcycle in its second year of production, packing the same characteristics as the previous model without any modifications.
The Aprilia RS 125 debuted in 1992 as a GP-derived entry-level motorcycle and continued production until 2010, when it was succeeded by the Aprilia RS4 125. The bike packed a Rotax single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a Nikasil-coated aluminum cylinder block.
In the visual department, the motorcycle had standard features, such as a full fairing with a rectangular headlight upfront, a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a single exhaust system with a silencer on the left side, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.
The bike's frame was made of aluminum and was fitted with a 40 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front, offering 120 mm of travel, and a single shock absorber on the rear, providing 120 mm wheel travel.
As for the stopping power, the bike's wheels were equipped with a single 320 mm disc on the front tied to a four-piston caliper and a 240 mm disc bolted to the rear squeezed by a dual-piston caliper.
In the performance department, the 1993 Aprilia RS 125 Extrema took its power from a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled powerhouse, boasting 34 hp with maximum force at 11,000 rpm and 24 Nm (18 lb-ft) torque at 9,000 rpm.
