keep the aprilia vids coming bud, as im going to buy one soon and would like to know how you get on with it, i realy enjoy your vids keep them coming as i love fords, and aprilias, cheers matt
Lol you really need to be hands on with the bike to keep in running order. Mine decided it wanted to commit murder/suicide on me a mountainous road though the engine ceasing on me.
maintenance costs vary if you are good with a spanner it will be cheaper, my tip is buy a well looked after running bike a project can get crazy expensive
I've got 1, and ill agree here. If you know how to fix it and u know where to buy the parts, It won't be too expensive (but you can be fixing it up more often than you'd expected, depending on your riding style and maintenance). But if you don't really know much about mechanics to fix it yourself, then it'll be very very expensive taking it to a garage to fix it. And take good care of it aswell. Because if you don't. You can find yourself having to rebuild the engine before you even did your first 1k miles on it.
@@Gixxer_fan_boy As good as this bike were in the past (i LOVE them! Even the new rs125 before the 4stroke version was good too) 2stroke dont last as long as four strokes. If the 2T dont mix well, the engine will slowly loses its life. It is sad that one day we wont even see a 2stroke on the road anymore. They were a monster of a bike, 34bhp for a 125cc, sheesh..
@@Gixxer_fan_boy aaahhhh Mito!!! My first bike! I love that bike!! Sadly in my country there is no longer available! Would love to see you upload that and give your thoughts on it. Its a classic. Hope its the 7 speed Mito and not the sp525(severly underpowered).

what do u think about 3rd generation of aprilia and do u know how many hp got 2nd and 3rd gen?
They all look good obviously they have been updated to a more modern look
Power wise the two stroke were all similar
I'm about 191 cm tall can i ride this bike comfortably?
You should be okay however they are not the most comfortable
Nice bike but very unreliable use good 2 stroke and use 90 w gear box oil 🛢
In the end I sold her as I couldn’t get her to run consistently

2-STROKES RULE !!! :) = FK 4-STROKES !!! :)
I couldn’t agree more
why is that, isn't the oil mixture a pain in hind end to deal with?
