Aprilia AF1 125 Sintesi (1989)

The Aprilia AF1 125 Sintesi is a thrilling addition to the world of motorcycles, boasting an impressive blend of style, agility, and performance.

Its chassis has undergone significant refinement, inheriting its diagonally-tubed aluminum frame from the AF1 Project 108. This sleek design offers increased stiffness and reduced weight, while the new front fork provides precise handling.

A highlight of this bike is undoubtedly its advanced braking system, featuring a floating 320mm disc at the front, paired with a four-piston Brembo caliper – a first among 125cc motorcycles. The rear wheel is equipped with a 240mm disc and twin-piston caliper.

At the heart of the AF1 Sintesi lies the potent Rotax 123 engine, designed from scratch to deliver exceptional performance. Its innovative features include an aluminum cylinder barrel treated with Gilnisil, improved cooling via a two-piece head design, and a balancer to minimize vibration. The result is a maximum power output of 28.66hp at 10,500rpm, slightly lower than its predecessor but offering significantly more low- and mid-range torque.

The combination of cutting-edge technology and refined engineering makes the Aprilia AF1 125 Sintesi an exceptional riding experience that will captivate enthusiasts and thrill newcomers alike.
