Written on: 31/03/2011
Bought a restricted 06 model used, firstly for what it is it's a very quick bike. With my 14 stone on it would easily do about 80mph restricted, it's also so light that you can throw it into corners and lean it back fairly easily even if your inexperienced; this is also why it seems so quick.
Reliability wise it's what you'd expect from a GP rep sports bike, after 500 miles on mine the crank oil seal went, which cost 400 pounds for bottom end rebuild as you cannot remove the swingarm locknut...

i had the 07 version, apparently it had the cdi mod done [drilled hole through circuit board] but it never ran right, it would struggle at low revs, get stuck at around 6thousand then open up at about 7 to 8 thousand. But it blew three exhaust pipe gaskets it leaked radiator fluid out a hole in the crankcase, the throttle got stuck open so would not start one morning, just kept flooding, the rear light bulb kept blowing, the cylinder over heated three times [yes, I did warm it up properly before every ride]. Oh, and the rear shock absorber broke. And it leaked coolant from the little box inside the frame. The clutch began to slip after less than three years of being new. The indicators decided to flash whenever they felt like it. Perhaps the older versions are much better, but the new shape one, stay away from them. Great fun for about 20 percent of the time.

Excellent bike, great fun, keeps up with larger bikes through corners.Would recomend as it is a great step before jumping onto a superbike. Clutch cable has been an issue as I was stupid enough to buy cheap of ebay.Other than that it has never let me down. So long as you keep on top of the oil situation. Use fully synthetic injector as well as engine oil. Requires a Change of engine oil frequently. I use castrol. (read more)

Written on: 16/12/2009
Originally, I wanted a 4 stroke sports 125. Like Yamaha's YZF R125 or the new Megelli 125R. After having to put up with that falsetto-pitched 2 stroke noise for two years, I began to realize how much I'd appreciate something with a little grunt. However, both of these are over £2000 - even for a second hand one, and I'm eighteen at college. I don't have that sort of money.
So, after biting my tongue over the entire maintenance/reliability relationship issues 2 strokes have, I decided to buy...

Bought my bike from a dealer brand new! This has to be the safest way to buy this bike! Very quick even though mine wasn't de-restricted, they are ways to fully de-restrict these and the newer bikes. Just look on forums for details and how-to's.
Always used fully synthetic oil, and used 98RON fuel, i.e Shell Optimax. You must let these engines warm up before you ride them to stop cold seizures, everybody knows this. Never had a problem starting mine, and in the 4000km's nothing went wrong...

Do your research before buying a new Aprilia RS125FP. I bought one and soon realised that the bike no longer produces 30 bhp+ and can not go at 100mph+. The forever tightening emissions laws restict the performance to 85mph and 10600rpm. There are tuning parts available like racing exaushsts and larger caburettors and so on but there is no point in fitting any of these parts unless you remap the ECU and as far as I am aware of an after market ECU that will let the bike rev over 10600rpm is...

Buy a full power version of the Aprilia RS125 as derestricting is expensive (you will need at least a 125, 33bhp licence). This machine is more fun than you think. Very light alloy frame. mine is 10 years old and I just can ' t bring myself to sell her. Advise buying the new Haynes manual. Keep on top of oil changes.

So far I've had no break downs and I believe thats because I ran the engine in at 6000 revs and under until the first service and then I took it up to 7000 revs and just broke the engine in slowly. If you buy it 2nd hand you don't know what oil they used and if they ragged the engine and definitely don't buy it 2nd hand if it's been de-restricted. The problem I find isn't with the reliability but the build quality is questionable for the amount you just paid for a brand new RS125.

I have ordered an Aprilia RS 125 (2006 new shape), I have to wait another 16 days for it to come to my dealer. The reason I went for an Aprilia is simple.
1) 6 of my mates have them and they say they are brilliant, also my mate is an expert in 2 stroke engines and can fix just about any problem with them.
2) It can absolutely embarrass those boyracers who think that their 1.2 is a F1 car. With 0-60 in just 5.7 seconds, it can even embarrass an 1.6i.

OK what else can I tell you about the 2006 RS 125 ?
The fastest I've done on it is 89 mph on the A64 from Leeds to the East Coast. If you're riding into a gusty wind you will not achieve anywhere near that. If it is windy try to get your head in the bubble it increases your speed quite a bit, although I look more like a whale when I try it - I'm 6' 4".
Also if you're riding into a headwind your miles per gallon will drop quite a bit, I got caught out once, my petrol light came on and I know...

Had mine for a year and not a bit of trouble. Starts first time every time. I can't stress enough - make sure the engine is warmed up properly before taking off and then don't hit the power band until fully warmed up.
When cruising I keep it at about 7000 rpm. Its a light bike so be careful when riding when its windy. Mine's a restricted version and its fast enough for me, there are times when I could use more power but then all it takes is a derestriction kit, and if you want to really fly...

It is unquestionably the best, I would also say it is probably better than any other 2 stroke bike that has ever been on the market ever.

After racing an Aprilia RS 125 for 2 yrs I Know them pretty much inside out. They seem really fast at first but you will soon get used to the power and then you will think it's slow. They corner OK but then again I didn't ride it on the road only a track riding. So I was pushing them, then they become not very good at cornering. Good enough to get your knee down that's what most 17 year old want. (read more)

Written on: 02/06/2006
The NSR has to be the better 125. It's 10mph short of the RS but the engine is a lot better quality because it's a Honda obviously. I've heard the Derbi GPR 125 gives the RS a run for its money but I'm not sure. The CBR is a bit slower and more reliable but if you put a full arrow system on this bike it makes a big difference. The NSR is the best - Honda are the best.

Yeah I like the gpr - I haven't rode one but I would love to. The rs125 is plenty good enough. I haven't rode the nsr but they also look good and I've heard they can still corner. Would strongly disagree to egt a Honda CBR 125 as they are total rubbish. The tyres are too skinny and they don't look good at all. Also they tested one round Donnington Park and they didn't go out of 4th gear for any corner they are that slow. Hope this helps.

The Honda NSR is definitely better. It feels just as quick, and it is very well built. If I had a toss up, it would be the NSR no questions. They are very nice looking and VERY FAST if unrestricted. Also, they are 100% more reliable.

My mate has an Aprilia RS 125, and it certainly seems to have an awesome amount of power for such a low powered machine. Not only that, it is dashingly handsome and it ticks over nicely. However, it seems to lack spirit and character. Although I personally have not had the pleasure of riding it, and I don't think I will for a while now, I do think it can provide an excellent buzz of excitement. If you have £3800 at your disposal and you are looking for a thrilling ride on a 125 commuter, then this ticks all the boxes.

As a 32 year old rider of sports bikes, I tried my 17 year old brothers recently purchased Cagiva Mito, and remembered just what a laugh 2 stroke race replicas are. I also realised you don't need 600cc plus, and have more chance of keeping your licence unsullied !
As I do few miles, I felt I could live with the fragility and servicing, so found an immaculate RS 125 Extrema that had been fully restored and tuned, although still a 125.
What can I say - everytime I ride the twisties, out...

This guy has hit the nail on the head! The RS125 is great fun.

I agree with this review because... I am looking for a 125 and stuck between the rs125 and the cagiva mito 125 and ideas which one to get.

The Aprilia RS 125cc is fantastic it's the 97 Harada it beats all new ones from a standing start. It's also completley standard. I had it on a Dyno and its 38bhp 5 sec to 60 in contension with Skylines. The perfect bike; if you are young and don't want to pay £2000 insurance for a Fiesta buy one of these and you wont be disappointed. (read more)

“Being a 21yr old female, I didn't want my first bike...”
Written on: 06/03/2006 by ambivolence (4 reviews written)
Being a 21yr old female, I didn't want my first bike to be a let down, or predictably girlish. After much deliberation I went for a new 2005 Aprilia RS125.
The size is great, sat next to most 500's, she doesn't scream 125, unless you start to compare exhausts.
Riding her is a dream, there's not a day that I haven't enjoyed the ride, 0-60mph has gotta be quite fast on this bike, I keep meaning to try and time it, but when going it easily slips your mind.
Plus points of this bike are...

You may look good next to a CBR, but the Aprilia RS 125cc will not last very long being a 2 stroke.

Did £6 really give you 150miles on a 2 stroke? Serious?
