This was the first Tuareg 125, a rally-look enduro built around Rotax's liquid-cooled two-stroke with a RAVE power valve, a 21-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear. Period claims of 26 hp were generous, but it was still a lively, approachable bike for young riders. For 1986 it got a white and red colour scheme, an optional electric starter and a rear disc brake.
