Striking design inspired by MotoGP
The RS 125 GP Replica adopts the aggressive, racing-inspired design of its big sister. The base color is a rich black, complemented by red and purple accents and the familiar sponsor stickers. The aluminum frame and swingarm, which have been typical of the brand since the 1990s, also appear in matte black. The passenger cover further emphasizes the sporty appearance and provides an authentic racing look that is otherwise only seen in MotoGP.
Modern technology with racing genes
Aprilia also sets new standards in the technical field: an electronic quickshifter, which enables gear changes without using the clutch, is standard equipment. The six-speed transmission ensures precise gear changes, as required in racing. In addition, there is a switchable traction control system (slip control) and a modern two-channel ABS system, which was developed in collaboration with Bosch. A rollover protection system offers additional safety during emergency braking.
Powerful engine for the A1 license class
The GP Replica is powered by a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with four valves. The peak power output is 15 hp (11 kW) at 10,500 rpm – equivalent to around 14.96 hp – and a maximum torque of 11.5 Nm at 8,500 rpm. This means that the engine fully exploits the legal possibilities for the A1 driver’s license class and for the B196 car driver’s license extension. Compliance with the current Euro 5+ emissions standard is guaranteed despite the sporty design.
Features and everyday practicality
The key technical data largely corresponds to that of the standard version: the tank capacity is 14.5 liters, the curb weight is 144 kg (equivalent to approx. 317 lbs), and the seat height is 820 mm. The cockpit displays are fully digital and provide the rider with a modern overview of all important data. However, one key distinguishing feature is the price: the Aprilia RS 125 GP Replica costs €5,899 (approx. US$6,350), which is €200 more than the standard version.
Conclusion:
With the RS 125 GP Replica, Aprilia is launching a motorcycle that offers young riders and beginners a real MotoGP feeling and high-quality technology. The appearance and equipment are consistently based on the models from the world championship, without losing sight of everyday practicality.
