APRILIA Tuareg 125 Rally (1984-1985) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia Tuareg was a desert motorcycle produced by Aprilia in the mid-1980s. The bike was sold 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.

In 1984, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Aprilia Tuareg 125 Rally, an agile off-road machine perfect for the younger and less experienced among Aprilia's fans. The bike was characterized by a much slimmer line and a more aggressive engine and was optimized for cross/off-road.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small front cowl with a small square headlight, a single seat, a small luggage rack, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike was made around a steel frame with a telescopic fork on the front and a single monoshock on the rear, providing the optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the braking power, the bike relied on a single brake disc mounted on the front wheel and a drum braking unit mounted on the rear wheel.

In the performance department, the 1984 Aprilia Tuareg 125 Rally had installed a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 25 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm.
