In 1987, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Tuareg 350 Wind, a motorcycle presented in 1986 with a low-mounted front fender and a spacious fuel tank compared to the high-mounted one of the Rally model.
The Aprilia Tuareg 350 Wind was part of the Tuareg family, which comprised models powered by two-stroke and four-stroke engines. The smaller 50 and 125cc models were powered by a two-stroke engine, while the larger 350 and 600cc models were set in motion by four-stroke units.
In the visual department, the bike had standard fittings, such as a half fairing, a dual round headlight system, a small windscreen, a low-mounted front mudguard, a one-piece dual seat with grab rails, a high-mounted exhaust system, an engine plate, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.
As for the power figures, the 1987 Aprilia Tuareg 350 Wind had its heartbeat set by a 349cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 33 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 47 Nm (35 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
The bike's power was sent to the rear end via a six-speed manual transmission and a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to a top speed of 144 kph (89 mph).
The bike's suspension system comprised a hydraulic telescopic fork on the front and a dual-sided swingarm tied to a single shock absorber on the rear.
As for the braking power, the bike's wire-spoke wheels were fitted with a single brake disc both front and rear, delivering optimum stopping power.
