Actually this bike have very good components. Its the only 125 supermoto with abs, and the suspension are pretty good. It comes with decent tires too. The quality/price is crazy. I ordered mine as my first bike.
Hey, I had a few questions, can you remove the db killer from the origianl exhaust? Does the bike feel as strong as the mt or duke? And is the engine stable, and will last a long time?
Hello, Nope, you can't remove it. I think it feels very good compared to the mt and duke. Hard for me to tell if the engine is reliable. I mean, Aprilia is a big company and have lot of experience.
Thank you for the information I really hesitate between a mt07 but I'm 1 meter 90 so an aprilla seems bigger to me after the comfort I don't know I really hesitate, in any case cool the video continues like that 👍🏼
Thank you! Wouldn't you want a faster bike than the Aprilia if you were looking at an MT07? Like a KTM 690 smc or a Husqvarna 701 SM. I think adventure bikes are also very nice if you are tall.
So I have a few questions. Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? Have you bought any add-ons that you suggest? And as im new to bikes, where do you put your helmet when you park and arent you scared that someone could come and just steal it if you dont have some kind of a lock? Ty for answering if you do :)
Yeah, I have bought an arrow exhaust. In this video I was using it without the db-killer. I don't have bought any other add-ons but a new clutch lever or front brake lever would be nice to change. They are not so great. I actually never leave my helmet with the bike if so I use my old helmet which was very cheap and also lock it up. Yes because of stealing but also it becomes dirty and could get damaged. Also if it starts raining it's not so nice to have a wet helmet. A tip, on the right side (opposite to the stand) passenger peg is a great place to hang the helmet :). The back of the helmet upwards.
I don't know. The company I bought it from has, unfortunately, stopped selling mine. I paid 3394kr (~326€). Probably not increasing performance, you need to change other things as well like the exhaust pipe, different air filter and so on.
Hello Akselrss, so im currently 15 years old and I am going to have my A1 driving license till summer, and I already bought the Aprilia SX125. I was planning to make a roadtrip in the summerholidays with one of my friends, we planned to drive about 900km (way back included), and google says it should take us about 17hours (I outcluded highways). And as it is in the summerholidays, we have a lot of time, but I planned with a total of two weeks for this trip. I wanted to know from you, if it could be possible to carry a big backpack on the SX125 and if you could guess how long I could/should drive per day without getting tired, and still ejoying the landscape on this bike. And if this is even realistic to do such a long roadtrip just after getting my drivers license. I could of course shorten the trip if you think it is too long, which I think it is. I'd love to get a reply from you and I wish you a happy new year! ;)
Hey! Sounds amazing! :) I remember when I got my licence I could drive for hours and never get tired because it was so much fun. I think that is a huge impact of what you feel is long on the bike and not. I think you could manage the trip in 2 days (450km/day). Maybe it would be more enjoyable to split it up into more days as you said. So you don’t feel stressed to catch up with time and just enjoy the roads with no schedule. I don’t think the trip is too long. Just avoid highways, they are not so fun with a 125cc. I would recommend buying a seat bag that you can fasten on the bike behind you. If you have a heavy backpack that would be the first thing you get tired of. Although I never used my seat bag I think it would be nice to use for longer trips. As I talk from my experiences it could be different from how you experience it. I hope it could help you anyway and hope you and your friend have a lovely trip! Don’t hesitate if you have any other questions. :)
@@Akselrss Hello again! I just read your answer and first of all, I really want to thank you for your quick and detailed answer! So that sounds very good, I cant wait to finally drive on the streets and be mobile, but I am actually a bit surprised that I could potentially drive up to 450km per day, so then it is totally no Problem to drive this route in 2 weeks that is very nice to know! Yeah and I already heard that, its not that relaxing on the highway so then I can just enjoy the landscape as you already said! :) That sounds like a nice idea, then I think I'll have to buy a seat bag, thank you for your suggestion! I really unterstand the point that a backpack would be annoying. Yeah and you helped me a lot, thank you very much! :) I just have two more questions, so first one: Can you remove the "#be a racer" stickers from the bike or do they just stay on the bike? Second one: Is driving at night with this bike comfortable and is the spotlight bright enough to have a good vison at night? If I have any more questions, I will tell them to you, and you really helped me planning my trip! :)
@@grmanfighter07 No worries! Glad that I could help you :) I think the ”be a racer” is just a sticker that you can remove. From what I can remember the light is good enough. Helps a lot to have a clear visor/google. Behind the headlight (between the backside of the headlight and the display, on the left side if I remember correctly), there is a wheel you can adjust the light position with. Mine was not that good adjusted. I turned the light down a lot so I could see the road more but can be different if you have a newer/older model than I had. You could always buy extra lights but I don’t think it would be necessary. Especially in the summer. At least here in Sweden, it almost never gets completely dark in the summer
@@Akselrss That is nice to know! I dont really like those stickers, so I just take them off, I thought it was printed in or so, and thank you for your advision, I didnt know that there was a wheel! And yeah here in Germany you can only see on fullmoon and till 10pm in the summer, its not that nice haha Thank you for all of your very helpfull answers, I will ask you, if I have more questions! :) Stay safe on the road! ;)
I bought mine (new, 2020 model) for 44000 SEK (~ 4400 €) and if I look at used ones today (2020, 2000km), they are sold for 35000 SEK (~ 3500 €). Have seen before that some older models have been out for ~ 3700 € with 6000km. I don't know what it looks like for other brands. But I think sx125 are keeping their value well
i'm 30 and considering a new Aprilia RX 125 for my first bike, I'm in Spain and will be using it mostly off-road for the trails here around my home, but I also would like to take it on the road to get to good swimming spots. the speed limit on the road is around 90km, what do you think? great video :)
Hey! Thank you :) I was really pleased with my bike. However it’s not perfect for high speeds (90km/h and up). It’s same with all 125cc. The rpm is high and struggling to keep that speed. Since you are 30, I would recommend you to buy a bigger bike. For example Husqvarna 701 Enduro or an adventure bike. I think that would be much more fun and a bike you will not get tired of.
It's quiet. Just look after it with regular cleaning and some acf50 anti corrosion. Also regular servicing and maintenance. Along with chain maintenance and adjusting. It'll be fine. But if you neglect it. Expect to have problems..
Hur länge hade du denna? Låter den mycket i jämförelse med den KTM du nämde i videon? Blev du stoppad av polisen någonting under tiden du hade 125cc och osv hur många ggr isf? 😊
Jag hade den i typ 2 år. Original skulle jag tro att båda låter ungefär samma, men är osäker. Nej, blev faktiskt aldrig stoppad. Trots med Arrow slip-on.
Almost bought Aprilia RS 125 or KTM Duke 125 because they just look cooler imo, but with my height (1m94) it definitely is best for me to go for the SX 125
Lovely! At the 6k km service, they said that the engine needed new valve cups. That's the only big problem I had. I had a electricity fault but it was easily fixed. czcams.com/video/741MoGNX6A0/video.html
Hey, I don't know really. It can be difficult to reach down to the ground depending on your height. The best thing to do is to test sit on one and possibly test drive it to see how it feels.
Svårt att säga. Det kan nog skilja sig mycket mellan förare. Personligen för mig så är MT125 lite för liten och jag sitter skönare på Aprilian. Tycker även att Aprilian har skönare körställning. Det bästa är ju om du provkör båda så ser du vilken du tycker är bekvämast.
@@Akselrss oh right ive searched for hours for them and i cant find any that fit directly so im just going to have to 3d print a bracket i guess. i got my bike the other day and i have a lot off mods planned which i havent seen on youtube yet. also mine is the 2022 model and the video you made on how to turn abs off dosent apply for this model however it is easy enough to just take the fuse out when its stunting time.

@@Akselrss there is a few differences between the 2019 model and 2022 modle like the exhaust header is a bigger dimater by 3mm and the airbox has been redesigned slightly. The fuel injection has also been moved closer to the header and at a different angle to allow for a more direct fuel injection into the cylinder, thank you and I definitely will enjoy as is a big upgrade over my aprilia sx 50
Yeah, hard to tell. Which do you think is better? I only have it for 2 years then sell it, perfect for me. It's a lot about what kind of motorcycle you like.
@@Akselrss dont be mad bro, please hahah, anyway everyone says the best is hm, honestly as the owner of a vent derapage 125 4t I can confirm it ... but everyone is happy with their bike, and this is the important thing, however I am really happy that there are people who love the 125 4t even if they are not compared to a 2t :)

Probably not increasing performance, you need to change other things as well like the exhaust pipe, different air filter and so on.

Will the bike keep its value better after 2 or 3 years, compared to other less "iconic" brands like: Derbi, Beta, rieju, Malaguti, etc.?
I bought mine (new, 2020 model) for 44000 SEK (~ 4400 €) and if I look at used ones today (2020, 2000km), they are sold for 35000 SEK (~ 3500 €).

120km is safe however, ive gotten 190km (ran out of gas and got stuck) but personally i wait until 150-160km until i worry about refilling
Yeah, probably. It depends on how you drive too. I was driving pretty aggressively and not so economic.
I'm considering buying it. Is the stock exhaust quiet enough? Or is it still a bit loud? Did you had any problems with it?
It's quiet. Just look after it with regular cleaning and some acf50 anti corrosion. Also regular servicing and maintenance. Along with chain maintenance and adjusting. It'll be fine. But if you neglect it. Expect to have problems..
3800 brand new in uk for aprilla sx125 😁👍👌

Not anymore. Its 3900 now
Did you have any maintenance issues. Do you clean the carburetor and how often?
Nope
this bike is FI so there is no carburetor.
Its fuel injection. There is no carb. You just clean the throttle valve if its dirty. Also use E5 fuel.
Hello what would you take. A sx 125 or a rx 125? Thank you
