Overview

Introducing the 2021 Aprilia RS 125 GP Replica, a stunning sportbike that captures the essence of racing heritage while catering to the modern motorcyclist. With its dynamic design and GP-inspired aesthetics, the RS 125 is more than just a bike; it’s a statement on two wheels. Positioned as an entry-level sportbike, it perfectly blends performance and style, making it an appealing choice for new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike who are on the hunt for a lightweight, agile machine. At the heart of the RS 125 lies a spirited single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.2 cc, delivering an exhilarating 15 HP at a high-revving 10,500 RPM. This power figure, combined with a torque of 10.9 Nm at 8,250 RPM, offers a thrilling ride that encourages spirited cornering and acceleration. The advanced fuel injection system, managed by a Magneti Marelli M3G ECU, ensures smooth throttle response and impressive fuel efficiency of 2.71 liters per 100 km (or an impressive 86.80 mpg). With a 6-speed gearbox and a lightweight chassis weighing in at just 129 kg (284.4 pounds), the RS 125 allows riders to experience the road in a way that is both agile and responsive, perfect for navigating urban environments or carving through twisty backroads. The RS 125 is not just about raw power; it’s equipped with a host of cutting-edge features designed to enhance the riding experience. The aluminum perimeter frame is both lightweight and rigid, providing exceptional handling while the 41mm upside-down hydraulic front forks and adjustable rear monoshock offer a plush ride and the ability to fine-tune suspension settings. Safety and control are paramount, and the bike boasts a single disc ABS-equipped brake system, ensuring reliable stopping power at any speed. The aesthetics are equally striking, with a GP Replica color scheme that turns heads and reflects its racing pedigree. Additionally, the bike is prepared for Aprilia Mia, a multimedia platform that allows riders to integrate their devices seamlessly. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 129 kg, the RS 125 is incredibly nimble, making it perfect for new riders and city commuting.
