The Aprilia ETX was a series of off-road motorcycles made by Aprilia in Noale, Italy. The bikes were manufactured in three versions: the 125cc model with a two-stroke engine and the 350cc and 600cc versions with four-stroke engines.
In 1984, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Aprilia ETX 125, the smaller model of the family. It was produced between 1984 and 2001 and replaced by the Tuareg 125 model, which featured a larger fuel tank.
In the visual department, the ETX 125 had standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a small front cowl with a small rectangular headlight, small side fairings, a one-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, and wire-spoke wheels.
The bike was built around a single steel beam cradle frame with a 35 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and a dual-sided swingarm coupled to a single shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance.
As for the stopping power, the bike's 21-inch front wheel was fitted with a 230 mm brake disc, while the 18-inch rear wheel was controlled by a 125 mm drum braking unit, delivering optimum braking performance.
As for the power figures, the 1984 Aprilia ETX 125 had installed a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 18 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm.
