APRILIA Tuareg 125 Rally (1985-1986) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1985, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Tuareg 125 Rally, a motorcycle in its second production year, characterized by a slimmer appearance and a more aggressive engine. In addition, the bike was optimized for cross and off-road.

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.

The 1985 Rally version came in the same shape and form as the previous model, delivering the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

The motorcycle appeal was characterized by standard fittings, like 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.

It was built around a steel frame that housed the suspension system, which comprised a telescopic fork on the front end and a single monoshock on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.

As for the power figures, the 1985 Aprilia Tuareg 125 Rally had its soul brought to life by a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 25 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm.
