This is a usable RGV250 that is titled in registered in Florida. Located in Orlando, Florida is a 1991 Suzuki RGV250 with no mileage listed. This bike features:
Straight plug SP heads
Aprilia 23D70 SAPC
Sugaya race kit pipes ($$$$)
Wet Clutch/CR gearbox
34mm carbs
Earls GP SS brake lines
Woodcraft Racing clip ons
Tyga Performance GP body (6000k HID)
UK kit CNC steps
still oil injected for those long weekend bike rides
This bike comes with the stock bodywork finished in white and a set of unfinished Tyga Performance GP bodywork. This bike seems to be a very usable example; not perfect but, has some nice extras and is in decent condition. However, the asking price of $12,000 puts it higher than any other VJ22 we’ve seen regardless of model, mileage, or condition. See the other VJ22′s we’ve posted here. See the listing for this bike on Craigslist here.
This NSR250 has to have one of the coolest replica paint schemes we’ve seen! Located in Saint Petersburg, Florida is a 1992 Honda NSR250 finished as a replica Foggy-Petronas FP1. While gentlemen prefer 100% original paint work, if you have a bike that isn’t perfect cosmetically, creativity will always win out over a can of Krylon™ flat-black. This bike does have a crazy amount of miles–for a U.S. NSR–at 19,421mi but, it does feature a rebuilt motor. It is also titled and registered for street use and features Tyga exhaust and “electronics” (I’m guessing their power-up kit). Some view the MC21 as the most usable NSR as they weren’t plagued by the electronics of the later generation. Now, what makes this bike cool? Well, if you didn’t know, Carl Fogarty joined up with Malaysian oil giant Petronas to create a bike to compete in World SuperBike. The resultant bike was a tripple that did quite poorly in WSB but, still needed to be Homologated for WSB use. As it happens, the FP1 was such a failure that Petronas decided to simply cut their losses and shelve all existence of the bike with supposedly only two street versions actually being sold. That is all well and good but, what does that have to do with this bike. Well, when most vehicles are turned into replica’s, it’s usually of the crap variety complete with eBay Ferrari stickers in abundance; This bike however has nothing, really, in common with what the replica is based on but, it is still very cool because no one will know what it is a replica of, and if they do, they’ll be someone you’ll actually want to chat with and not someone who’s uncles-friend-knows-a-guy who owns a Ferrari. This bike is actually a pretty good Troy Corser replica too: The stickers appear to be a little too small but they’re still the right ones and in the right places. I must clarify: I usually hate replicas with a passion but this one is obscure enough that no one will even know it’s a replica because they don’t know what Petronas or a NSR is anyway. The asking price is $6,500 which I would imagine to be a bit high but we’ve seen MC21′s all over the spectrum. Here is some interesting recent information on the FP1. Some quick, general, information about the FP1 can be found on Wikipedia here. See the Craigslist post for the NSR here.
Here is a photo of an actual FP1 from it’s release.
This is track only RS250 finished in Red Bull™ colors. Located in Warren, Michigan is a 1999 Aprilia RS250 Cup bike. The bike has 1,600 total miles and 50 miles on a new top end. The forks have been rebuild and re-sprung for a 170-180lb rider, the tires are Battleax’s with 60% tread, rebuilt brake calipers, Jolly Moto exhaust, Tyga Performance powervalve covers and carbon fiber front and rear fenders. Spares included in the sale are: Two barrels, extra gearing, gasket kit, RS250 tools and a rear stand. The asking price is $4,200. The only drawback on this bike appears to be the non-standard paint scheme but, being Red Bull™, it shouldn’t turn off too many people. Have a look at this very solid RS250 on Craigslist here.
We’ve seen a few Aprilia Cup bikes on RSBFS but here is another! Located in San Francisco, California is a 2001 Aprilia RS250 which is still in Track/Race only condition. This bike isn’t titled or registered. We’ve posted around five pages of RS250s over our short time so it’s obvious that we’re happy to share these relatively–it wouldn’t appear so from our site–rare bikes! Here is the summary of this particular example:
Tyga Exhaust, Barnett Clutch, Domino Quick Turn Throttle, Upgraded O-Ring heads- straight plugs w/ removable inserts, AF1 Top Triple, Samco Silicone Hoses, New- Penske triple clicker rear shock (3 track days on it cost $900), Re-valved stock front end- for 180 lb rider, Dunlop Slicks- 4 track days on them plenty of rubber left, Woodcraft clip-ons, Woodcraft rear sets, Sharkskinz Body work (slight damage from low side), 4 spare rear sprockets, Spare stock rear shock, A few spare front sprockets, spare stock exhaust, full rebuild kit ++ (new pistons in box + all other necessary parts for a top end) Engine completely rebuilt at Scuderia West by previous owner (less than 500 miles ago), GP Tech Fairing Stay, Marchesini Quick Turn Gas Cap, New FuenTubo Brake Lines front and Rear, Spare New Spark Plugs, Full RS250 Maintenance Manual, Aprilia Kit Manual, Rear Stand.
The seller states that this bike has been low-sided twice but looks to be in good condition compared to some track dogs! The asking price is a fair $4,000; this is what we’ve usually seen these going for and this one has a very decent spares package included. The bike has approximately 3,000mi. Until the introduction of the RSV, Aprilia was known for their two-stroke race machines and this looks to be a very nice example of that history. Spring is on the way and track days are near, see this bike on Craigslist here.
This looks to be a very nice track-only RS250 with some good extras. Located in Manhattan Beach, California is a 2000 Aprilia RS250. This Cup bike features Tyga exhaust, Ohlins rear shock, AF1 top clamp, steel braided lines, Woodcraft clip-ons & rearsets. This bike has 6,200km (3,852mi). The bike is sold as a track bike with a bill of sale only. The asking price is a market correct $4,000. See this 2nd gen on Craigslist here.
We have seen a few RVF400Rs recently but here is another one in Mountain View, California. This RVF400R is a track bike conversion having been returned to street use. The seller states:
Tyga-Performance full RC211 kit (front, belly pan, sides and tail)
Tyga-Performance carbon fiber HRC style air box lid
Translogic digital speedometer (speedo, lap timer, temp gauge, gear indicator, oil indicator, fuel gauge, RPM read out etc)
NC30 (VFR) carbs
520 sprockets and DID chain
Michelin Power Race and Power One tires (120 and 160)
’06 GSXR600 complete front suspension. This includes powerful dual-piston radial brakes. Fresh Oil and GP piston kit installed by Evolution Suspension.

misc body panels and lights, and other RVF400 hardware
Important information regarding operation status:
Currently registered and insured.
The seller also states that the major issue with the bike is that the tank is heavily damaged, it still functions perfectly without leads but is still heavily damaged.
This isn’t an original RVF400R but, it has good accessories and good modifications. If properly set up, the modifications undoubtedly make this an excellent performing RVF. The seller states that this listing is only a feeler and with an asking price of $7,000; it appears a bit high even with the extensive modifications. However, it would be a pleasure to ride this bike around California and if you’re in the market, you just need to put a value on that pleasure. See the bike on Craigslist here.
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.
This isn’t the best looking NSR but it is a California plated example! Located in Las Vegas, Nevada is a Honda NSR250SP that isn’t original but does have the magical California title and plate. This bike was originally a Rothmans replica bike but currently wears Tyga and Airtech fiberglass painted black and orange. The bike does have a Tyga stainless expansion chamber and aluminum silencer, Tyga air filter, carbon fiber reed cage & reeds and the frame & swing arm have been polished. The seller dosen’t mention an asking price. This bike dosen’t have the original plastics but I think the title and registration far out weigh the cosmetic downfalls–plastics can be found, titles cannot. If you’d like a registered SP, see the bike on Craigslist here.
