The Aprilia ST 125 was a small displacement motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia from 1982 to 1984. It was an entry-level motorcycle best suited for young and inexperienced riders.
In 1982, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia ST 125, an entry-level small displacement motorcycle in its first year of production. The bike was manufactured until 2004 and remained essentially unchanged.
The bike was fitted with standard fittings in the visual department, such as a single headlight unit, an engine spoiler, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a center stand, a dual-sided swingarm, and seven-spoke aluminum wheels.
The bike was built around a double-cradle tubular steel frame with a 32 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling.
For safety reasons, the bike relied on a 230 mm brake disc mounted on the front wheel and a 160 mm drum braking unit mounted on the rear wheel, offering optimum braking performance.
As for the power figures, the 1982 Aprilia ST 125 had installed a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 18 hp with a peak force at 8,250 rpm and 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque at 8,250 rpm.
The power produced by the engine was transferred to a six-speed manual gearbox that sent it to the rear end via a final chain drive, pushing the bike to a top speed of 127 kph (79 mph).
