APRILIAETX 125 1989 - 1990

　　The Aprilia ETX was a line of off-road motorcycles made by Aprilia in Noale, Italy. The bikes were manufactured from 1984 to 2001 in three versions: the 125cc model with a two-stroke engine and the 350cc and 600cc versions with four-stroke engines.

　　In 1989, the maker introduced the Aprilia ETX 125, the smaller family version, in its sixth consecutive year of production. Over its production period, the bike remained unchanged, packing the same specifications.

　　Aesthetically, the 1989 bike packed 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's skeleton was made of steel and coupled to 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 and handling capabilities.

　　The bike rolled from the factory on wire-spoke wheels that were stopped by a 230 mm brake disc on the 21-inch front wheel, while the 18-inch rear wheel was controlled by a 125 mm drum braking unit, delivering optimum braking performance.

　　As for power, the 1989 Aprilia ETX 125 took its muscles from a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering 18 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm.
