Introduction

Aprilia - Mojito 125 (1999, ZD4PM)

The Aprilia Mojito 125 (model code ZD4PM) is a retro-style lifestyle scooter first introduced in 1999. It blends nostalgic design with modern technology, aimed at riders who appreciate style, everyday usability, and flair.
In some markets, the Mojito was also sold under the name “Habana”, sometimes with slight differences in equipment.

Model history

The Mojito/Habana was offered by Aprilia from around 1999 into the early 2000s, most commonly as a 125 cc version.
The goal was to stand out in the retro segment: classic styling, curved lines, and an alternative aesthetic compared to the modern designs dominating the market at the time.
The Mojito 125 was built on technical foundations designed more for reliability and daily use than for top performance.

Technical details

The Mojito 125 is powered by an air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124 cm³.
Power output is approximately 10 hp (around 7.5 kW) at 8,500 rpm.
The engine uses a carburetor and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
The Mojito was not built for high speed – performance is moderate, and exact top speed figures for the 1999 model are not well documented.

Colour variants
