It quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional handling, powerful engine, and sporty design, making it a popular choice among both novice and experienced riders. The RS125 was renowned for its lightweight construction, thanks to its aluminum frame and bodywork, contributing to its exceptional cornering agility and responsiveness. The 125cc engine, developed in collaboration with Rotax, produced a respectable amount of power for its displacement, making it a thrilling ride.

The motorcycle's sharp styling, with its distinctive fairing, low-slung silhouette, and exposed single-sided swingarm, solidified its position as a modern and desirable sportsbike. Although production of the original RS125 ceased in 2003, its legacy continues to inspire current generations of Aprilia sportbikes, which retain many of the design elements and performance principles that made the RS125 such an iconic machine.
