Welcome to my new AF1 blog hopefully you found me from my other restoration which you can read and follow on www.mbx80.co.uk
Back in the late 80's Aprilia launched the AF1 Project 108 125cc motorcycle, it was like nothing else on the market and it made what the Japanese were producing look massively outdated. Over in Italy the 125 scene exploded with manufactures producing ever more exotic looking bikes looking to out do each other in some seriously cool late 80's/ early 90's paint schemes.
I wanted an Aprilia really bad, top of the list was the black and purple Sintesi, then the Replica, which I almost bought, then in 1992 I took the plunge and bought a AF1 Futura.
Fast forward to 2022 and the chance came for a project but this time I opted for the bike I almost bought, a 1989 Sintesi Replica, this blog is for the restoration on this bike.
if you have restored an AF1 or you have any tips, info or even parts please leave a comment!
Update
My Aprilia restoration won a 'Highly Commended' award at the 2025 Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show at Stafford.
