So I have a 6 yr old son. He is an auto/moto fanatic as I think a lot of us were way back when. I bought him a 12v F150 when he was 3 and he took to it like a fish to water. Last year, I bought him a 50cc KTM Dirtbike w/all the gear. He fell off of it and bit it pretty hard on his initial run. (he rides his bike ALL day long) So it traumatized him. I decided that the best route to get him back on it would be if I got one and we could go together on rides. I found a 2001 Aprilia RX 50 and got it basically for next to nothing. My bud picked it up and put it in my garage. When my son saw it, he flipped out and said he couldnt wait till we got to go riding together. It would appear that my plan may work.
OK, so the question is where can I get parts for this thing without going through a UK or Euro site? I searched last night for a few hours and everything I found was in Brit Pound or Euros. Costs about 120Eu for each forward fairing! Anyone point me in the right direction? Any tips prior to first startup? I am mechanically inclined and this isnt my first dirtbike, but tips would be appreciated!!! (I know this is long, thanks for reading!)

I don't remember if Aprilla makes the engines for the mini's or not.
Look at the engine cases and see if you see any markings like Beta or Moto Morini.

A lot of those late nineties and early 00's were just rebadged with aprilla stickers
some were sold under the names of Pollini, Cobra, Lem.
The VIN should be on the steering neck, with that I might be able to find out what it is and where you can get parts

Awesome, thanks for the tip.
Im still deployed for another 2 months, but when I get home, I will definitely look for that. It just seems like all the Aprilia parts are sold out of a Euro country. I would like to get the missing fairing and such, plus any maintenance parts I may need like filters and what have you without paying as much for that as I paid for the entire bike...
I appreciate the reply!
