In 1987, the Italian bike maker released the Aprilia Tuareg 125 Rally, an off-road machine in its fourth consecutive production year. Compared to the standard version, the Rally had a slimmer appearance and a more aggressive engine, optimized for cross and off-road riding.
The 1987 model had the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous one without any significant modifications. It was designed for the younger and less experienced riders among Aprilia fans.
It also packed the same standard fittings as previous models, like a high-mounted front fender, a small front cowl with a small square headlight, a single seat, a small luggage rack, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.
In the performance department, the 1987 Aprilia Tuareg 125 Rally had its heartbeat set by a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine placed underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 25 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm.
The power generated by the powerhouse was transmitted to the rear wheel through a six-speed manual gearbox and a final chain drive, launching the machine to a top speed of 130 kph (81 mph).
The bike's suspension system comprised a telescopic fork on the front and a single monoshock on the rear, while the braking power was achieved by a single brake disc mounted on the front wheel and a drum braking unit mounted on the rear wheel.
