APRILIA Tuareg 125 Wind (1989-1990) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1989, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Aprilia Tuareg 125 Wind, an off-road machine designed for the younger and less experienced motorcyclists among Aprilia fans.

The 1988 Tuareg 125 Wind came in the same shape and form as the previous model, packing the same technical, performance, and visual specifications without any significant changes whatsoever.

In the visual department, the bike had standard fittings, like a half fairing, a dual round headlight system, a small windscreen, a one-piece double seat with passenger grab rails, a high-mounted exhaust, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

Compared to the Rally version, the Tuareg 125 Wing packed a half fairing with a dual round headlight system, a small windscreen, and a low-mounted front mudguard instead of the high-mounted one of the Tuareg 125.

As for the power figures, the 1989 Aprilia Tuareg 125 Wind had its soul brought to life by a 124cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered 25 hp with a peak force at 9,000 rpm.

The power generated by the engine was transferred to a six-speed manual transmission that converted it into motion, spinning the rear wheel via a final chain drive. The bike reached a top speed of 130 kph (81 mph).

From top speed to a complete stop, the bike's wire-spoke wheels were fitted with a single brake disc on the front, engaged by a hydraulic caliper and a drum braking unit on the rear, providing optimum stopping power.
