Engineered by Aprilia for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2002 Aprilia Classic 125 pairs a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 54.0 x 54.5 mm (2.1 x 2.1 inches) with a 12.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Classic 125 measures 150 kg (331 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 720 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,550 mm (61 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
