Positioned in Aprilia's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Aprilia Scarabeo 125 pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 57.0 x 48.0 mm (2.2 x 1.9 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,415 mm (55.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Aprilia archive, this model family spans 6 indexed model years from 2004 to 2009, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
