Introduction

Aprilia - Mojito 125 Custom (2005–2007, ZD4RY)

The Aprilia Mojito 125 Custom from the 2005 to 2007 model years (type ZD4RY) is a mature version of the retro scooter that combines classic design with proven engineering. With its high handlebars, low seat, and chrome accents, it delivers the flair of a cruiser while remaining lightweight, agile, and suitable for everyday use.

Model History

Part of the 2003–2007 series, the Mojito 125 Custom under the ZD4RY type code continued the retro philosophy introduced in earlier models. Aprilia stayed true to the classic aesthetic while refining visual and functional details. The technical base—engine, frame, and transmission—remained mostly unchanged, while updated paint schemes and trim options appeared over the years. The transition to the Piaggio Group brought some minor updates, especially regarding accessories and regional color variants.

Technical Details

The 2005–2007 Mojito 125 Custom is powered by a 124 cc air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine with carburetor fuel delivery. It produces around 10 hp (7.5 kW) at 8,500 rpm and features a continuously variable transmission (CVT), allowing for smooth and effortless riding. Top speed is approximately 90 km/h, depending on road conditions and rider weight. The fuel tank holds about **7 litres**, offering a riding range of over 150–200 km thanks to the scooter’s efficient fuel consumption. With a curb weight of roughly 110 kg, the Mojito is nimble and accessible for daily urban use.

Chassis and Brakes

Built on a steel tube frame with a deep step-through design, the Mojito 125 Custom offers classic scooter ergonomics and a laid-back seating position. Suspension is provided by a telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock. The braking system includes a **220 mm front disc brake** and a rear drum brake, a configuration that suits the scooter’s relaxed character. The standard tyre sizes are **120/70‑12 at the front** and **130/70‑10 at the rear**, balancing stability and cornering agility.

Color Variants and Features

During the 2005–2007 production period, the Mojito 125 Custom was available in several elegant finishes including black, ivory white, metallic red, and other pastel tones. Chrome mirrors, bar ends, and trim details highlighted the retro theme. Standard or optional equipment included whitewall tyres, padded seats, and decorative emblems. Many riders customized their Mojito further with windscreens, luggage racks, or other styling accessories to personalize the look even more.
