Presented at the Milan Show in 1987 and sold in December 1987 to celebrate that magical August 30, 1987 when Luca Reggiani Misano with AF1 250 to win the Grand Prix of San Marino, AF1 Replica Aprilia experiment represents the first in the "transfer" of races and series production. Interestingly, the AF1 replica was made in another bright color not directly inspired by racing cars and therefore, there is also a basic version does not replicate (photo available soon). And 'then certainly possible to classify the AF1 Replica not as a model in itself, but rather as a restyled version of 1987. It would therefore be more correct to treat as AF1 AF1 Replica Project 108 model 1988, also produced in color replication. The AF1 Project 108 in 1988 but had a very short life because during 1988 was soon replaced by more modern and beautiful AF1 Summary.

Colors: Red / Black / White with saddle aquamarine and orange circles. Replication staining.

Price in 1987: 5,050,000 Lira turnkey including electric start.

The bike soon

The AF1 Replica, although it is characterized by a much more vibrant color AF1's sister, is basically the same bike, elegant, sporty and well managed. Staining for the adoption of an aggressive dual light placed in a wider windshield, a redesigned fairing and larger tail and a removable seat cover, the difference between replication and AF1 are void. The good instrumentation, remain valid electrical controls and placement of accessories (fuel tank, battery, air filter, ect ..) remains the same as AF1.

Cycling

Replica mounts the same cycle of AF1, with the only difference nell'ammortizzatore Sebach rear instead of previously mounted Marzocchi (40mm excursion always, always rotates 120mm) and the adoption of the fantastic Dunlop tires instead of Arrowmax precenti Metzler (unchanged size)

The engine represents the latest evolution of the popular Rotax 127 and the replica is in a slightly more thrust, although the only difference is the edited version sull'AF1 closer tolerances in the positioning of transfers and the height of the light discharge and a compression ratio of slightly more stringent (15,5:1 15,1:1 instead of the AF1). Also note the replacement of the rubber gasket RAVE valve with Viton, more resistant to temperatures and hydrocarbons. The carburetor is the same and adjusted as the AF1 and the same goes for the transmission and gear ratios. The survey data, now indicate a maximum power to the wheel well of 29.24 hp at 10,250 rpm instead of 27.88 to 10000giri of AF1, but a version even more push an engine that already had very sharp dispensing power, could only lead to a deterioration of skills over shooting 400 meters from 50km / h: the Replication observes a time of 21.115 seconds and an output speed of 82.808 km / h. (20.887 seconds and 84.90 Km7h the AF1). The maximum speed recorded was the best confirmation of the class and is 160.5Km / h (first 125 to pass this wall) instead of 155km / h pointed out by AF1. The weight of the engine remains unchanged: 23.12kg with electric start.
