Motorcycle specifications ApriliaRS4 125 Replica 2015 The paddock is not enough

italy knows how to cultivate its brand image. At Aprilia, we add to the cocktail the perfume of the paddocks, the aura of competition and the decoration that transforms a 125 into a small passport to dreams. The little RS4 takes full advantage of Noale's commitment to WSBK. Not only is it a veritable RSV4 in miniature, but it's a real eye-catcher in its Replica dress. Superbike, are you there? Between the sharp triple eyes and the aluminum perimeter frame? The #33 prominently displayed on the fairing salutes Marco Melandri's performance on the compèt'.

so, the RS4 125 is a perfect copy of the factory version of the Aprilia RSV4. As a reference, there are worse things... And it doesn't get much better. This bike would fool a lot of people. You really have to get up close to it to realize that it's a 1/8th-liter. But even then, the equipment is enough to let the curious continue to appreciate the material. Aluminum double-beam frame, 41 mm inverted fork, radial piston brake caliper, 300 mm petal disc, quality rubbers: we're in sporty territory.
The powertrain is a bit of a letdown. The RS 125 built part of its reputation on its vigorous engine (2-stroke at the time). An RS4, like all other machines of this displacement, will only be able to offer you 15 horsepower to get the job done. Even with modern technology, based on double ACT, 4 valves and liquid-cooled injection, the 4-stroke will only allow you to have fun, not to strike a chord. And yet, with the shifter fitted as standard, all you want to do is believe in it and send it off without a moment's hesitation.
The bottle presents itself superbly, and intoxication is only the tip of the imagination.
