Hi guys.

I am placing my Aprilia RS125 motorbike up for sale as i only use it a few times a month and I would like to return to mini ownership so it has to go!

Just to clarify for anyone interested, this bike can be ridden on a CBT which costs around £100 and can be taken in one day. No theory or previous experience is required.

Insurance is very cheap, tax is £16 a year and a full tank is just over £10 with a MPG of over 50.

The run down on the bike.

It is a Aprilia RS125 Extrema MK1, these are becoming more and more sought after and this is a original. It has not had a body conversion.

W reg, 2000.

16,000 miles or 26,000KM

Tax - September 2012

MOT - August 8th 2012 (No advisorys and the tester commented on its condition and asked for a ride around the lot)

The bike had a full engine rebuild, top end, bottom end, piston, rings, crank, the whole lot at 18,500KM. Proof of this is available and the work cost £670.

The bike is fitted with a Meta Cat1 Alarm system with a approved certificate.

Full power and is fitted with a RAVE powervalve system.

The bike is fitted with a Performance Arrow exhaust system with a carbon Fiber Arrow can.

I have a lot of bills for this bike totaling up to £2000 for the bike, this includes a £670 engine rebuild, £500 worth of work for its previous MOT. Along with other service parts, brake pads, tyres and so on. A majority of the work has been completed by Bowen Moto, my local Aprilia dealer.

The bike does have some tatty areas but mechanically is 100%. Some one at some point has been a bit careless with it and it has collected a few scrapes and scratches. That said this bike is ready to be ridden home!










More photos avalible.

This is a very good example with up to date engine work, no mechanical issues and ready to go.

Because of this i am after £1,350 ono I will PX for a Mini in any condition, I can do cash with a PX either way.

Bike is located in Kent.

I can include a XL Rossi AGV helmet Alpinestar GP plus gloves and UK12 Alpinestar SMX boots for the right price (Have a RRP between themselves of nearly £800)

Any questions please feel free.

Sorry to be a party pooper but if this bike is full power (fully de-restricted) then it's illegal to ride it on a cbt

[Tomm]

As long as the bike is under 12KW it is legal to ride on a CBT. This bike is under 12KW and therefore legal to ride on a CBT.


The power figures Aprilia claim these bikes make when unrestricted is false. Even with a vast amount of money thrown at these engines they very very rarely make the claimed 33BHP, that's even with ££££'s. I have owned 4 of these bikes, all full power and none of them have broken the learner legal limit.

If anyone would like to discuss this further please drop me a PM, Id like to keep this thread clean.

Thanks

Would rather not message you and pop it here, I'm only trying to keep people's license's clean even though I've personally not heard of anyone having their rs125 tested, however the legal limit with only a cbt is 11KW (http://www.direct.go...ions/DG_4022547) and an Aprilia rs125 produces this as standard (http://www.bikez.com...rs_125_2000.php) therefore any modifications to increase power makes them illegal to ride on a cbt

[guywithvan]

nice clean example of a rs,and can +1 on bowen moto as a old mate there is a ace mechanic...but like stated a full power rs125 will be technically illegal on a cbt.i've had the aprillia Rx125 full power version in the past (on a full license) and the thing went like stink for a enduro 125 certainly exceeding the bhp limit or (11kw as it's all euro now days )

Bit of misinformation in this thread, to legally ride this motorcycle you will need a full license. In it's derestricted form it will produce around 22bhp which well exceeds 11KW.

Motorcycle licence requirements


If you have a provisional motorcycle licence, you MUST satisfactorily complete a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course. You can then ride on the public road, with L plates (in Wales either D plates, L plates or both can be used), for up to two years. To obtain your full motorcycle licence you MUST pass a motorcycle theory test and then a practical test.
[Law MV(DL)R regs 16 & 68]
If you have a full car licence you may ride motorcycles up to 125 cc and 11 kW power output, with L plates (and/or D plates in Wales), on public roads, but you MUST first satisfactorily complete a CBT course if you have not already done so.
[Law MV(DL)R reg 43]
If you have a full moped licence and wish to obtain full motorcycle entitlement, you will be required to take a motorcycle theory test if you did not take a separate theory test when you obtained your moped licence. You MUST then pass a practical motorcycle test. Note that if CBT was completed for the full moped licence there is no need to repeat it, but if the moped test was taken before 1/12/90 CBT will need to be completed before riding a motorcycle as a learner.
[Law MV(DL)R regs 42(1) & 69(1)]
Light motorcycle licence (A1): you take a test on a motorcycle of between 75 and 125 cc. If you pass you may ride a motorcycle up to 125 cc with power output up to 11 kW.
Standard motorcycle licence (A): if your test vehicle is between 120 and 125 cc and capable of more than 100 km/h you will be given a standard (A) licence. You will then be restricted to motorcycles of up to 25 kW for two years. After two years you may ride any size machine.
Direct or Accelerated Access enables riders over the age of 21, or those who reach 21 before their two-year restriction ends, to ride larger motorcycles sooner. To obtain a licence to do so they are required to

• have successfully completed a CBT course
• pass a theory test, if they are required to do so
• pass a practical test on a machine with power output of at least 35 kW

To practise, they can ride larger motorcycles, with L plates (and/or D plates in Wales), on public roads, but only when accompanied by an approved instructor on another motorcycle in radio contact.
You MUST NOT carry a pillion passenger or pull a trailer until you have passed your test.

I would rather you didn't. This thread was not made to determine if the bike is legal to use on a CBT or not, It was to sell a item.

Thanks man! Mark at Bowens is great! Possibly even met your friend at some point!

Anyway the bike sold today at full asking price.

THIS TOPIC CAN NOW BE CLOSED.
