The motorcycle was characterized by structures in fiber glass, original design and color with metallic mixtures. A frenzy among boys.

The same engine was also fitted to the road model, fitted with the cylinder still the old style. At the Milan Show was also presented the prototype of the 125 Junior Speed \u200b\u200b'who rode the first engine manufactured by Aspes, with planning and implementation of technical Gianfranco Maestroni already' Yamaha and now dedicated to developing Aspes. The first engine had the magnesium crankcase, cast by FLAM, the azienza that make components for the aviation industry and the MV Agusta.
