presentation of the 125 Classic 2001
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.

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)?
