Finding a plated modern RS125 is hard enough in the United States, but this example stands out even further thanks to the fact that it has just 12 miles. It does beg the question – what would you do with a bike like this? It’s best on a track but it’ll lose value with every miles. Are these collectible enough to sit on display? I’d vote no, but you tell me!
The ’09 RS125 was the first year Aprilia exported this bike directly to the USA, but due to EPA emissions standards it was exclusively for closed-course use despite the lights/mirrors/etc. The 125cc 2-stroke engine is a Rotax unit, and fueling was handled by a 2mm Dell’orto carb. Dry weight was just 280 pounds and while it seems like a tiny bike, the ergonomics aren’t bad for bigger riders, either. MSRP was $5,499.

This example has just 12 miles and it’s equipped with all the necessary OEM parts required to make it street legal – including a street wiring harness. It’s titled and tagged in Texas, and it has a few goodies including a Shorai ultra light battery, solo seat cowl, and some carbon fiber pieces from Tyga – the rear hugger, chain guard, ignition cover, and sprocket cover.
