Introduction

Aprilia - Mojito 125 (2000–2001, ZD4PM)

The Aprilia Mojito 125 (model years 2000–2001, ZD4PM) is a classically styled 125 cc scooter with modern four-stroke technology. As the successor to the first-generation Mojito/Habana, this model continued the vintage-inspired aesthetic with smooth lines and elegant proportions.
In several markets, the scooter was sold as the “Habana 125,” with only minimal cosmetic differences compared to the Mojito version.

Model history

With the introduction of a four-stroke engine, Aprilia responded to the demand for cleaner, more fuel-efficient scooters in the retro segment.
Between 2000 and 2001, the Mojito 125 was offered in various countries before later being supplemented or replaced by the Mojito Custom series.
Compared to the 1999 version, updates focused mainly on cosmetic details like seat covers, emblems, and color options.
