APRILIA RS4 50 (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Aprilia RS4 50, the smaller sister of the RS4 125 model. It was a real bike designed with the same care and professionalism as the larger Aprilia bikes.

The Aprilia RS4 50 was a small displacement sports replica created by Italian engineers for the youngest among Aprilia fans. The motorcycle had a unique look with the headlights mounted above the air intake and set new standards in style and technical content.

The 2012 model came in the same shape and form as the previous one, delivering the same technical, performance, and visual characteristics without any significant modifications whatsoever.

The 2012 Aprilia RS4 50 was set in motion by a 49cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted underneath its fuel tank. Its power was sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed transmission and a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 97 kph (60 mph).

The bike had standard features, such as a full fairing, a three-headlight system, a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a single exhaust system, a dual-sided swingarm, and Y-shaped multi-spoke wheels.

The bike's riding experience was handled by a 41 mm inverted fork on the front, providing 110 mm of travel, and a monoshock on the rear with 122 mm of travel, providing excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.
