Well its not even a Honda, but sure a look alike, even diverse colors...

Made for a few years from 1988, the Aprilia AF1 Sintesi, evolved to a Futura in -91

[image: Aprilia%20AF%20125%20Futuro%2090%20%203.]

31,8hp from a 125cc Rotax engine, 130kg dry weight and still size wise a grown up bike compare to many Japanese 125´s

Had even 17" wheels!

Here the Sintesi Sport

There is one for sale "localy" (500km away it seem... :wacko: ), a Replica version, and asking price is less than a grand € even its looks really mint and has a engine rebuild made 200km ago.

Tempting......

It was "the bike" I dorled at on the 1989 motorcycle show.... But money only was then enough for a -82 RD125LC (RZ125)..

Mid 80's....totaled red and white one, got a Kenny Roberts as a replacement (later to be totaled)

Shame on you that you totaled them!

The Kenny Roberts replica is nice!

My friend has two RD350LC´s by the way, he is a 2 stroke nut! Dreams of a RD500LC.....high €/$ these days

FZ600...Nice looking bike..Guess you can just say :owned:

Only bike I totaled what that RD125LC, as I had to drive from the road to not collide in a car coming on my line!

Did rebuild but trade for a KTM125 dirt bike
