1996 Aprilia RS125 review from New Zealand
"Fantasic bike, fast, sexy, amazing braking power... awesome!!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I have yet to have any major or minor things wrong with this bike.
General comments?
This bike is quick and loves the corners. This is a serious racing bike; not a toy to be used and abused. She needs to be warm before you wring her neck; just ease her into it and it'll last a long long time.
Keep the oil full and keep it in a cosy environment, and it'll always be ready to run.
