Rare SportBikes For Sale

1995 Aprilia RS 250 Loris Reggiani replica for sale on the OC CL for $8,300.00 with Cali title and registration.

This one should be in great shape having only 4300 miles on the odometer. This RS is sitting in the same garage as a the 1991 RGV 250 that Alex posted back on February 3rd; which by the way is still for sale. Now, the owner has told me that he is only going to sell one of his babies. So which one do you want to take off his hands?? The owner has done something interesting in that he has removed the lower fairings to better preserve them. As you will see in the pictures they are removed and leaning against the wall. If I had the extra scratch burning a hole in my pocket I’d pick up the Aprilia and leave the Suzuki. We’ve had a few Reggiani’s posted on RSBFS and this seems to be right in line on pricing. I posted a regular RS a few days ago for this exact same price and it sold in 48 hours.

Quotes from the seller:

Rare Aprilia 2-stroke V2 with a California title and current registration. Low miles (4300) and runs very strong. Good sticky tires and ready to ride. The fairing is in very good shape but has been removed to preserve it, attract less attention, and better tolerate santa ana side winds. At over 70 HP and under 300 pounds, this bike has amazing speed and handling. Missing rear seat and leaky forks but otherwise excellent condition.

So it looks like a set of fork seals and a trip to ebay for seat and you would have a super nice RS. With spring just around the corner, the possibility of someone buying the Suzuki and taking this one off the market you’d better not delay if your in the market. You can contact the seller here.

Cheers!

1999 Aprilia RS 250 with a very nice looking paint job, priced at a mere $4,000.00 and located in Fairfield, CT. I must say that I am very impressed the quality paint work on this machine. Being an ex-racer I’d say the majority of regional race machines are spray bombed to match factory colors to be eligible for contingency money, but this one is different. From the looks of it this racer took a little bit of pride in his machine and actually had a plan before spraying it. It sort of reminds me of the Cabin Honda teams of the all Japan Super Bike Series.

We’ve had several RS’s up over the past few weeks that ranged from race bikes to street bikes. And of course, I like them all . The seller doesn’t give much info about their bike other than it is reliable and starts with a couple of kicks. I typically like a little more history or information about bikes, but this time I’m out of luck.

The bike is in good condition,
The bike has all stock parts only . Bike is very reliable always starts with a couple of kicks.

2000 Aprilia RS 250 with only 2,551 on the clock and listed as a no reserve auction!!!

Current bid is $6,100.00 with 4 days left on the auction. I posted a RS last Saturday and it sold within 48 hours for around $8,000.00. So at $6,100.00 this one is a steal considering it has super low miles. This is an original owner Aprilia Cup bike that was never raced or tracked. There is an interesting story behind this bike in how it became street legal.

Here it is in the owners own words:

The bike was originally a cup bike but when I got the title back from DMV they had given me a street title by mistake. So, I put a set of brake lights on it, got a street cowl with headlights and mirrors and have been riding it that way ever since.

Now, I’m a little confused by what the seller says next.

Bike will come with street wiring, the original cowl and a street tail section.

I’m a little confused by the fact that there is a street wiring harness that isn’t installed on the bike nor is the OEM street tail section that is in included. The tail section on the bike appears to have turn signals, but no brake light. So in my mind this begs the question “do the lights actually work or are they just filling a need for the bike to be legal on the street?” Either way the bike looks to be in excellent shape and has all the stock parts. This is a dream come true for anyone looking at a RS. Why is that you may ask? Plain and simple this is a one owner, low mileage and streetable RS. The price is right and the owner has his phone number listed on the auction site for any questions that you have.

Here are the pictures with more on the auction for you to look at.

I like this one as much as any RS that we’ve posted on RSBFS. I think it has a lot to offer and for once it’s located on the right side of America Like I mentioned before the last RS we posted sold in 48 hours so if your interested you better get in the mix sooner than later. You can check out more pictures and .

Cheers!

These are the RS125s and RS250s for sale in the U.S. today!

Located in Mountain View, California is a California titled & registered 2006 Aprilia RS125.  The seller states that this bike is only available this week/weekend and if it isn’t sold by next week will become living-room art.  2006 is the first year of the new fairing, and features two headlights, digital gauges, and multi-spoke wheels.  This example comes equipped with an Arrow pipe, EK gold chain, fender eliminator, frame sliders and the spares are:  Two power-valves, two balance shaft gears, the stock parts and two stock exhaust systems.  The asking price is $5,200.  See it on BayAreaRidersForum.com here.  See it on Craigslist here.

Located in Beverly Hills, California is a California titled & registered 2002 Aprilia RS125.  The story is this bike was brought back from Italy and successfully titled and registered in California.  However, the photo used in the ad features a European License plate so be cautious–or it could just be an old photo.  This is one of the rarer paint schemes for bikes in the U.S.  The asking price for this example is $5,800.  See it on Craigslist here.

Located in Orange County, California is a California titled & registered (First Generation) Aprilia RS250 in unoriginal colors.  The seller states that this bike has been sitting for three years so, it will need to be properly gone through before use.  The bike has been down at some point and features prominent scratches on the left-hand side.  The asking price is $5,400.  See it on Craigslist here.

Lastly, we have a 1999 Aprilia RS250 race/track bike that I don’t believe we’ve seen before.  The seller states that this is a one owner bike with 1,834 miles.  The seller states that there is some very minor wear and tear on the bike.  The asking price is $4,500; and is located in Miami, Florida.  See the bike on Craigslist here.

If any of these strike your fancy, check them out and make sure to tell the seller you saw it on RSBFS!

The wording in the ad leads me to believe this to be a titled and registered Cup bike!  Located in Ackworth, Georgia is a 1999 Aprilia RS250 that was originally an Aprilia Cup bike.  These have become a mainstay at RSBFS as they are a fabulous, modern, two-stroke twins that are sometimes often enough street registered.  The seller of this specific example states that it has a headlight and taillight; he doesn’t state whether it has a title, or is registered, but my thinking is that it possibly is as there is no other reason to put those on a track machine!  The other possible indicator is that–regardless of aftermarket goodies–this bike is priced at $5,000; putting it somewhere between a pure cup bike and a titled, very original, road machine.  The seller states that the accessories on this bike are:  Woodcraft Rear sets, SS brake lines, 1/4 turn Domino throttle, three RGV250 cylinders & heads, transmission, power valves, Penske rear shock, Tyga SS exhaust–and completely unrelated, a titled RSV Mille frame.

If you’re interested in a possible street bike–I would lean towards it probably isn’t though–see the ad on ApriliaForum.com here.

We love the Aprilia RS 250’s on RSBFS and this one looks to be a beauty. Located Spotsylvania, VA(?) this all stock RS is said to have a new top end and is ready for the track. We all know these are lightweight, fast and look even faster sitting on the rear stand. You don’t find many of these in this shape these days and for good reason. These were purpose built bikes that were good out of the box and when a motorcycle is as good as the RS, everybody has to have one. The Aprilia Cup was in full swing when I was racing in the Midwest and I often thought of buying one, but never did. Hindsight is 20/20 now that I’m middle-aged and a few pounds heavier and long for the good ol’ days. I’m always on the look out for a reasonably priced street conversion so if you have one send it our way . This one doesn’t fit what I’m looking for, but it might just be what you’re after. The current bid is $1,225.00 at the time of this post and the reserve is still on. If your in the market for a good looking, all original RS250 you may want to throw your hat in the ring for this one. It looks nice and there are plenty more pictures on the auction site for your viewing pleasure.

A low 3,999 miles!

00 Aprilia, raced in Aprilia Cup 2001-2002, minor scratches, in very good condition, original condition. Ready for trackday or for the street.

I’m not sure about it being ready for the street, but it definitely looks ready for the track or possibly a street conversion

Cheers!

One of a kind, 1995 Aprilia RS 250 Prototype VIN#00001. This rare little gem is located in Italy, but is listed on with a current bid of $1,657 usd. This is actually for sale by the same shop that has the Supermono that I posted last night, even though they weren’t submitted by the same viewer. I would like to thank Mike for pushing it our way. We normally don’t post bikes outside the states, but sometimes you have to make exceptions to the rule and take the heat from the big man. I guess it’s a good thing that I have a flame suit.

We’ve always liked RS 250’s on RSBFS and posted a number of them late last year, but none of them with the rare qualities of this one. It is said to be serial #1 of the 1995 Aprilia RS 250 Factory test bikes. The first picture is a little blurry, but it is clear enough to see all of the zero’s followed by the #1. There isn’t much history given for the bike, but I would like to know if it is still in the original factory body work? Was it painted or is it as it was developed? I agree with the seller in that it is rare to see a prototype test bike for sale, but if there is any proof that it is as tested, that would make it worth more to me.

Since the bike is located in Italy and being listed on ebay.uk, the listing description is a little broken, but it is understandable.

APRILIA RS250 PROTOTYPE VIN 0000001

1995

This is the bike used by the the Factory to devenlope the road best seller model RS250. Frame is hand welded with still on it sticker “progetti vari” from prototype’s department of the factory; seat unit and tank are in carbon fibre, engine is -as all the first RS250’s- Suzuki but this one is tuned with flat Mikuni’s; exhaust is double race type.

Various spare parts comes with the bike, i.e. plastic tank and seat, road exhaust, etc.

Bike i say is in good conditions but stored for a few years so it will need a clean and set up before to be used but of course it is more a bike to collect and a sure strong investment.

For me, there are a lot of questions that surround a bike of this nature. And if, I was in the market for a bike of like this I would be on the phone asking a lot of questions prior to placing a bid. But, I'm sure if you're truly in the business of buying rare bikes you're already looking for a phone #.

I haven’t see this website before but, Motorcycles For Sale Classic, is apparently a broker for a collection of motorcycles out of New Jersey.  It looks to have been recently updated but has some obvious errors–make sure to contact the seller by phone to confirm anything on their site.  Anyhow, these are some of the bikes that are still available that I found interesting:

• 1977 MV Agusta 850SS with 1,791 original miles.
• 1977 Ducati 900SS with 2,500 original miles.
• 1986 Suzuki GSX-R750 Limited Edition with 2,358 original miles (Vance & Hines exhaust fitted).
• 1985 Suzuki RG500 with 385 original miles.
• Yamaha TZR250 with 22,245 miles.
• 1984 Yamaha RD500 with 31,600 miles.
• A second Yamaha RD500 with less miles.
• Aprilia RS250 with 610 original miles.
• 1995 Cagiva Mito.

These aren’t all the bikes listed on the site–and more appear in the background of photos–but again, I would caution anyone against acting too quickly.  The website listed features errors and older dates but, I haven’t seen these photos featured anywhere else and they all look to be correct and from the same location.  Titles and registration isn’t mentioned and only a few bikes have asking prices.  Regardless, take a look at the site as it may be an undiscovered mine!
