2001 Aprilia RS125 review from United Kingdom
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing went wrong while I owned it.
General comments?
Bought this bike from new because I like its looks and wanted to try a sports 2 stroke.
After 3 months I hated it, and sold it on
with less than 1000 miles on the clock.
Simply could not live with the peaky 2 stroke performance, although for a 125cc, it goes pretty good.
Handling is about as good as it gets for a bike, and its beautifully built.
Needs pampering with the correct oil - MUST be
Putolene according to the dealer, and needs careful warming up or else the warranty is void..
Did not own long enough to have any problems, although I have heard stories of blown engines after 12,000 miles etc.
