Aprilia AF1 125 SP 1992 offered for sale, This rare, limited edition Sport Pro Competition production bike is in need of a fair amount of work to make it roadworthy again, unused for many years and kept in storage. These were the choice of the youngster who liked to break rules... unless on the track! Factory Built to enable entry into a race series, this being number 1004 with 33hp @ 11000rpm, 20nm/15lb-ft of torque @10000rpm, Rotax 2 stroke engine with a 6 speed gearbox, weighing just 114kg/251lbs, upside down forks, 320mm front brake disc with 4pot caliper, 240mm rear disc, single swingarm and an adjustable mono shock rear. Finished in what we believe is the standard, Squadra Corsa colour scheme or what remains... The engine does turn over but no attempt has been made to start. Imported 2001, shows 5 previous owners and Hpi clear.

In 1990 the AF1 125 Futura came out, which had the characteristics of the 125 Sintesi only with the difference of the less rounded and thinner, therefore sharper fairings and saddles and the return of the rectangular headlight, resulting very similar to the future RS 125, the rims now they have less than 5 spokes at the front and rear (this version replaced the synthesis version in the following years) and the AF1 125 Sport which thanks to some small modifications, such as the Dell'orto PHBH 28 ND carburetor (measure bound by the SP regulation) reached 170 km / h and accelerating to 400 meters in 14 seconds. In the same year, the derivative Europa version without fairing was also presented.

In 1991 the AF1 125 Replica was released, the same as the basic version, but with 40 mm forks with the new 110/70 tire instead of the 100/80, a new swingarm to be able to use a 140/70 tire instead of 130/70, new 5-spoke wheels, and like the AF1 Replica Reggiani, it featured the colors of the Squadra Corse.

In 1992 the last of the AF1 series was released, the AF1 Futura Sport Pro 125, with a slightly different tail, with small air intakes, and slightly more up in the terminal part, and with a new front mudguard, finally the AF1 was replaced by the RS 125, with the new Rotax V 123 engine, more powerful and reliable.
