When you were a teenager, you loved riding motorbikes which makes you feel one with the road. Even though the Aprilia RX 125 doesn’t have a lot of power, they still make every journey feel quick and exciting. Wind blowing through your hair, while you max out the speedometer of the motorbike is the dream of every teenager.

It looks like Aprilia is trying to make you feel nostalgic with the RX 125, a bike which allows you to have loads of fun without having to pay a hefty price. Let’s take a closer look at the Aprilia RX 125 to see what it has to offer to the <lnk href="aprilia-rx-125-review/">new-age riders</lnk>.

<heading>Aprilia RX 125 Specifications</heading>
One look at the Aprilia RX 125 and you get the feeling that you will spend more time off-road, than you will on tarmac. The Italian motorbike manufacturer installed non-adjustable upside down forks and monoshock with adjustable preload suspension in the front and rear. When you ride the Aprilia, the suspension feels a bit soft, which you will feel when you try to bring the machine to a halt.

Speaking about brakes, Aprilia fitted a single disc, with two-pot callipers in the front and rear. You only get ABS in the front brakes, which makes a lot of sense, as it gives you greater control when you go off-road. The brakes have a lot of bite, which is a great thing, as you can always bring the motorbike to a quick halt at any speed.

Moving on to the seat of the RX 125, it is one area which leaves a lot to be desired. The seat is quite hard, making it uncomfortable if you decide to go on a long journey. Even though there is no windshield, you won’t go fast enough to find wind annoying or distracting.

From the electronics perspective, it comes with a small dash, which displays odometer, trip, voltage, clock, service, engine temperature, and speed. When it comes to handling, you won’t find it difficult to lean into corners. Despite the light weight of the motorbike, it is quite stable, even at high speeds.

<heading>Aprilia RX 125 Performance</heading>
The RX 125 comes with liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-valve, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine. It produces 15 hp of power at 10,700 rpm and 8.3 ft-lb of torque at 8,000 rpm. You won’t feel the vibrations from the engine, allowing you to enjoy the ride. When it comes to acceleration, the RX 125 is quick off the line.

Never assume this bike won’t get the job done when you have to cover vast distances. Despite the 7.5-litre fuel tank, you can cross at least 150 miles, without facing any difficulties.

<heading>Verdict</heading>
The Aprilia RX 125 is a great motorbike, if you want to venture into the world of two-wheels, without having to shell out large sums of money. When you ride this machine, you will always have a smile on your face, as the ride feels excellent. You can pick up the Aprilia RX 125 from a dealership near your house at a <extLnk href="https://www.aprilia.com/gb_EN/">base price of £3,399</extLnk>

The Aprilia RX 125 is a great motorbike for both first-time and experienced riders. Suitable for on and off-road, it may be just what you're looking for.

Two years ago, in 2015, Aprilia released the first of its kind, a concept of ‘Factory Works’. An ambitious project which offers novice or racing enthusiasts a chance to experience the race track feel, on a bike built under the World Superbike and Superstock specs. The RSV4 FW-GP motorbikes are sold by the manufacturer with complete support from Aprilia Racing.

Of the four RSV4s scheduled for the 2017 release, FW-GP is the showstopper.

<heading>Specifications</heading>

The engine remains the same V4 65-degree engine; derived from the RS-GP unit. The bore is 81 mm and is propelled by a pneumatic valve timing which promises an rpm of over 250 without maxing out on the accelerator. The bike closely resembles the official Aprilia bike of the 2015 MotoGP World Championship with Marco Melandri and Alvaro Bautista.

Apart from being a dream to ride, the customers are also offered some exclusive treatment - a personal invitation to the Aprilia headquarters to sign the contract. Here the customer is given a chance to choose the configurations and the budget. Throughout the entire customisation process, the customer receives live updates and pictures on the progress of the manufacturing. The exclusive treatment does not end there, the bike is hand-delivered on completion by the Aprilia Racing engineers. Additionally, the customers are also entitled to receive a complete Aprilia Racing full track leather jacket and a pass for the paddock, for the MotoGP Grand Prix weekend. It doesn’t end there either, the customer also receives a special invitation to be a part of the Aprilia track day. Here the Aprilia engineers provide valuable tips on handling the bike and improving performance.

<heading>Other models of RSV4 FW</heading>

There are three other models:

Aprilia RSV4 FW SSTK1: The instrumentation of the bike is reprogrammed in accordance with the lap times in combination with the V4-MP system. ABS is eliminated and braking is controlled by a lightened and optimised braking system.

Aprilia RSV4 SSTk2: The APX2 ECU is custom made in the Aprilia Racing facility and is completely programmable from the palmtop terminal to ignition. Additionally, the ECU also harbours a data collection system using either the optical sensor or the original sensor. The exhaust kit and fairing are made by the Slovenian exhaust manufacturer Akrapovič. The maximum power reached is 204 hp.

RSV4 R-FW SBK: This bike is built on Race Pack suspension. To stay true on the track and increase performance, the SBK has a racing electrical system with a customised engine wiring harness, and a simplified lithium battery. The maximum power output of the bike is 215hp. And there is also a particular mod made by Aprilia Racing- the SBK mod.

Apart from offering collectors and bike enthusiasts an opportunity to include a racing bike in their collection, the FW (Factory Works) program additionally provides training focused on the technical handling of the bike along with the characteristics of the circuit. Every customer also avails a test session under the supervision of the Aprilia Racing Team.

The RSV4 FW-GP motorbikes are sold by the manufacturer with whole support from Aprilia Racing. Read our expert review here:
