Hi

Take it that as you mention the Rally these are both 125s

The Tuareg Rally was officially imported for a while but the old importer USAB. Somewhere I have a road test of it in PB magazine. Think it made 26hp at the back wheel. Used the Rotax 123 engine.

The plain Tuareg was not imported but there seem to be a fair few around. I have seen this model with both the rotax 127 engine as well as the 123. The 127 was used in the original AF1 (although the AF1 had a steel bore while the Tuareg has a plated bore, and the gear change is reversed between them). The 123 engine was used in the AF1 Sintesi, AF1 Futura and many of the RS125s.

I have an owners handbook for an early Tuareg but nothing really for the Rally. At the time the Rally was sold here you would get an Italian owners hadbook on an official import.

All the best

Keith
