Aprilia 125 Classic 2001 - Motorcycle specifications, used

Cruiser

while the Japanese are developing 4-stroke 125 twins galore, Aprilia is motorizing its custom with a high-performance 2-stroke single. Admittedly, this doesn't really suit a custom bike, but the manufacturer has taken care to play with aesthetics and tricks to "hide" the engine. Well done, all the more so as this is an attractive, easy-to-handle machine with very serene handling. The disadvantages of this engine are its unflattering noise and much higher fuel consumption than a 4T. In terms of performance, the Classic is unbeatable in its class. The weight doesn't make itself felt, although the suspension lacks suppleness. Braking is convincing and the bike is easy to access. A wise choice for those who don't mind the "2T footprint". Its 3-year warranty is an added bonus.

Glaudy Model 1995

I've had an Aprilia 125 classic for 4 years, and I'm very happy with it. Sturdy, simple, good handling and, for a 125, a good little potato. On the downside, it's 110 km/h max, but if you want speed, you've got to get a license. Low maintenance, 1500 euros second-hand, economical bike. I'm a fan. Approaching 20,000 km (it had 13,000 when I bought it). 08/23/2017 16:15 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Glaudy

To respond to motard 17's comment, your Aprilia hasn't really been economical since its purchase, a real ruin in parts and M.O., reliability not being its strong point!then, as the owner of a 125 Rebel, it only cost me the cost of a clutch cable (9â'¬) in 30,000 km, and as for its original 11 hp, I increased it to 15 hp simply by changing my air filter (10â'¬), modifying the exhaust baffles and adjusting the carburettor, which brought it well up to the level of your Aprilia in terms of power, and then we'll talk about fuel consumption 3.4L for the Honda versus 5L, which also makes a difference. As for the price on the second-hand market, there's no photo, the Honda is more sought-after than an Aprilia for all the points raised... bon route! 04/27/2019 10:06 Rating : 1/5 Participate in the conversation

C'est pour un compteur

western Model 1997

Hello all aprilia classic custom 125 1997 bikers, this is an excellent bike, responsive for an exceptional 2-stroke, very solid engine, I've got 15650kms on the odometer and it's running like clockwork, God knows I've met a lot of people and ridden it, but biker friends, if you can shed some light on this, I've got a problem: as soon as I switch on the ignition, I press the button to start it button to start it, it goes tic tic tic tic at the starter relay I changed my starter relay, it always does the same thing the dealership told me it could be your battery, I've just put in a new one, still the same, so my colleagues, I'm drying out here, I can't see where it could be coming from, I'm thinking of the starter, but ???????or the starter button which doesn't make enough contact any more I don't know I'll see biker friends if you have a good solution for this one who is mechanically savvy it would be super nice to inform me please before I go to the dealership and who are going to murder me price-wise on this biker friends I wish you my sincerest regards cordially western and remember be careful 05/09/2017 00:45 Rating : 5/5 Respond to western

voltigeur Model 1995

i've been riding this bike since December 1996 without any problems, just the starter failed, but apart from that no worries, 20,000 km on the odometer without any other damage, top speed 140 km/h, the only small fault is the engine noise, but it's an excellent machine 08/27/2012 16:40 Rating : 5/5 Respond to voltigeur

hello,

i see it's a 2-stroke engine. how does it work? do you have to mix the oil every time you fill up (like on a moped) or is there an oil tank (like on the 127 GT suzuki)?
