My Aprilia AF1 125cc 1991 replica, was it worth it?

#1 Post by Elvin_A1 » Tue Jun 09, 2009 12:19 am

hey guys, just wondering if this bike is worth £800 as it is an old bike, it has had a engine rebuild less than 200miles ago (dont know wether it was the top or bottem which was rebuilt) and it only has 3000km on the clock, only thing i need to do it is buy a new indercater switch, i bought it the other day for my 17th birthday which has gone now, can everyone leave a reply an tell me what you think and/or any questions about it. here are some links to look at the bike, sorry i used bebo, i dont have the pictures uploaded on any other website.

Hi Elvin and welcome.

Looked at your pictures - it looks like a tidy bike.
Unfortunately I don't have so much knowledge of Aprilia 2-strokes (other than my son's Sonic scooter) .... though I do fancy an RS250 to go alongside the Falco.

I think if it proves reliable and you have fun on it, then that's all good :smt003

It looks a fun machine, but I know even less about them than D-Rider.
I'm sure you'll get your money's worth out of it. :smt003

Like they said, looks pretty good and if the engine has been rebuilt should all be good.

Keep on top of the 2 stroke oil and learn how to rebuild the barrel yourself to save a few quid. It's not that difficult.

Welcome Elvin - looks clean and tidy. Learn as you go along. I don't know how much 2 stroke knowledge there is on here but lots of friendly advice in general. Prilla are a bit addictive though - be warned :smt001

Forget the NSR. The RS is quicker, and maintainance is easy, dont trust the horror stories you hear about aprilias - they're just as reliable, parts are easy to get hold of as they still make them
