In 2001, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Classic 125, a cruiser motorcycle in its tenth year of production, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models without any changes.
The motorcycle packed standard fittings, such as a round headlight upfront, a 33-degree raked front fork, a dual seat, an engine cover, dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear, a single exhaust system, and wire-spoke wheels.
As for the power figures, the 2001 Aprilia Classic 125 had its soul brought to life by a 124cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 15 hp with a peak force at 6,600 rpm and 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
In the suspension department, the bike packed a 33-degree rake telescopic fork on the front, offering 120 mm wheel travel and two hydraulic shock absorbers on the rear with 70 mm of travel, providing optimum suspension performance and handling.
