Aprilia Releases New RS125
Aprilia releases new RS125
As increasing numbers of motorcycle enthusiasts discover the challenge and thrill of honing riding skills on a closed circuit during a group track day or weekend, todays 600 to 1000cc sport bikes with their huge horsepower and top speed numbers arent always the best choice. A smaller displacement machine helps to create a better, more confident rider because it requires more input and concentration to score good lap times. At the same time, it allows the rider to really push it to the limit while big displacement bikes often dont inspire the same level of confidence.
The powerplant is packed with technical advancements including a crankcase reed valve intake, anti-vibration balancer shaft and an automatic fuel-oil mixing system. A six-speed transmission delivers the power to the rear wheel with ratios designed to suit a variety of race track configurations.
Standard equipment includes distinctive, aluminium alloy wheels, radial mount brake caliper, and rear-set style racing footpegs. The track-only bike is available with racing livery looks of the 2006 and 2007 world championship 250cc Grand Prix bike, the exclusive Replica Spains N.1.
The RS125 can now be ordered at select U.S. Aprilia dealerships. With an MSRP of $5,499, the Aprilia RS125 looks like a bargain for beginners or experienced riders who want to hone their skills on the track.
