Apart from the single cylinder engine, all of the Aprilia Kerkennah has been designed with alternative solutions in mind. It is a concept technologically avant-garde, but not revolutionary. The most dominating characteristics of the Kerkennah is the location of the radiator behind the engine, and the seat-tank unit which can be lifted up and forward in order to access the engine and mechanical elements from the top.
The Aprilia Kerkennah motorbike was a concept supermotard created by Italian designer Donato Cannatello in conjunction with Aprilia. The unusual Kerkennah name takes after a small desert island located off the coast of Tunisia.
The Aprilia Kerkennah was designed with commercial materials in mind, no carbon or titanium, instead sturdy aluminum, steel, and magnesium.

Aprilia has always been the undisputed leader in 125 cc supersports, a market segment in which Aprilia has pioneered new concepts and advanced solutions, and developed technology that others have struggled to follow. Like all Aprilia motorcycles, the RS 125 has benefited from the sophisticated technology that has been developed over years of success in GP racing, and quickly transferred into production. Over the years, the RS 125 has forged a reputation as the standard setter for sports 125’s. Sales success has come naturally too, with the RS 125 topping the sales tables on major European markets. The RS 125 is the inevitable choice of riders entering Sport Production racing. And rightly so, because when the competition gets tough, there is simply no other bike like the Aprilia RS 125. The Aprilia RS 125 offers young riders the best in components and equipment, and a concentration of technical refinements worthy of a flagship supersport.
