The Aprilia Tuareg was a desert motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia in the mid-1980s. The bike was marketed with a two-stroke engine with 50 and 125cc displacements and a four-stroke engine with 350 and 600cc displacements. In addition, the Rally version was offered in 50, 125, and 250cc versions.

The smaller displacement one was powered by a single-cylinder Minarelli engine, one of the most used engines in the Italian moped market. In contrast, the larger ones used a Rotax unit.

In 1985, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Tuareg 125, a road/desert motorcycle in its first year of production. The entry-level off-road motorcycle mainly addressed younger and less experienced Aprilia fans.

The bike packed standard fittings in the visual department, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small front cowl, a single headlight unit, hand guards, a one-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, and wire-spoke wheels.

The 1985 Aprilia Tuareg 125 had its soul brought to life by a 124cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine controlled by a single carburetor. It delivered an output power of 25 hp with a peak force at 9,000 rpm.

The motorcycle's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission fitted with a wet multi-disc clutch that spun the rear wheel via a final chain drive.

The front end was controlled by a telescopic fork and a single brake disc, while the rear end was handled by a single shock absorber and a drum braking unit.
