Aprilia RS125 2005 offered for sale, brand new registering zero miles, and has not had fuel in the tank.
It has come from a former Aprilia dealer and was left over stock from when the dealership stopped selling this brand.
AS well as factory fresh, what makes this bike even rarer is that it is a full power (27hp) model, which was never sold officially in the UK market. Complete with electric start and in totally original specification, it is the last of the curvy shaped RS125s, with the iconic black and red paintwork and lions head graphic emblazoned across the side.
The Aprilia RS125 was, for a long time, the coolest bike a 17 year old could buy and legally ride on L plates in the uk. What made the RS125 so appealing to young riders was the fact that it looked just like one of Aprilia's Grand Prix bikes. Boasting an aluminium – alloy frame and class-leading suspension that would not look out of place on a 250. The fact that an 18 year old Valentino Rossi won the 125cc Grand Prix in 1997 on an Aprilia RS125S also didn’t harm the bikes reputation, as the road bike bore a remarkable, Resemblance to the racer. The RS was first introduced as the Extrema back in 92 and would remain the undisputed king of the 125cc sports bike class until production ceased in 2012.
Unfortunately the documents have been lost over the years and also the keys. A new set of locks and keys will be with the bike when it is sold. UPDATE. Keys have been found and all locks are fully functional with original locks and key.
