The Aprilia ETX was a line of off-road machines produced by Aprilia in Noale, Italy. The bikes were built in three versions: the 125cc model with a two-stroke engine and the 350cc and 600cc versions with four-stroke engines.
In 1992, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia ETX 125, an entry-level off-road motorcycle suitable for the young among Aprilia fans but also suitable for the more experienced ones searching for a lightweight and agile bike.
The 1992 ETX 125 was in its ninth consecutive year of production and came with the same package as previous models, providing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without significant modifications.
The bike 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.
It was built around a steel 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 and handling capabilities.
As for braking, the bike rolled on wire-spoke wheels stopped from spinning by a 230 mm brake disc on the 21-inch front wheel and a 125 mm drum braking unit on the 18-inch rear wheel.
In the power department, the 1992 Aprilia ETX 125 had its heartbeat set by a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering 18 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm.
