99′ Aprilia RS250 Challenge Cup with only 450 miles!
How about this hot AF Italian smoker for your Thirsty Thursday viewing pleasure?
I’m gonna come clean on this one . . . When I first saw it I was 110% stoked and thought it might be the Holy Grail survivor of RS250’s, but then I watched this at :28 seconds in.
I’m guessing that’s not going to buff out! Looks like someone had a rough day at the track and threw it down the road. I hope the rider was okay.
But, the show must go on and like we always say “Smoke’em if ya Got’em!”
Location: Auburn, Washington
Make: Ape
Model: RS250 Cup Challenge
Mileage: 450
Price: $15,995.00
◽ VERY RARE BIKE WITH ONLY 449 MILES VIN ZD4LDA500XS0117
◽ KFG CERTIFIED PRE-OWN AND DYNO HEALTH CHECK
◽ ONE OWNER BIKE CLEAN WASHINGTON TITLE WITH COPY OF ORIGINAL MSO
◽ ALL ORIGINAL PARTS AND BODY – STORED LOVINGLY INSIDE A MAN CAVE
◽ FRESH SERVICE AND FLUIDS
◽ COMES WITH A HUGE BOX OF SPARE OEM PARTS, MANUALS AND RACE BODYWORK
I’m a RS250 fan boy and I’m digging all of the spares and low miles, but wait-
◽ This one sold for $16,800 in September: Iconic RS250
Actually, it sold for $17,976.00, but I’m not squabbling over a few Benjamin’s. I like them both, but would have liked this one more without the raspberry on the tank, but the mileage is super low, but the raspberry on the tank, but it’s really clean, but the raspberry on the tank, but it’s all original, but the raspberry on the tank, but it has (what promises to be) an extensive spares kit, but the raspberry on the tank. . . Ooops! Did I really just type what’s in the grey matter? Sorry!
What do you all think? Worth all the money or a pubie too high?

The ‘man cave’ was brutal on that bike!! There is rash top to bottom, and right and left.
Interesting that the seller makes no mention of the scars, so that would cause me to proceed with caution.
The iconic bike’s got a pretty atrocious repaint on the right hand side fairing; more orange peel than a fully stocked cocktail bar…
Wow all the bolts come pre-drilled for lockwire with adjacent rubbing scars from the factory? Yeah 450 miles my ass. I hate these kind of sellers.
Not the same bike that sold at Iconic in September
^^Someone posting on Adam’s behalf? The comment fields don’t match his usual entries.
Correct that these are not the same bikes, they have different VINs. Doug was making a comparison, not stating they were the same bike.
Happy New Year everyone! -dc
I feel like I got rick-rolled clicking on the video. Hoping to hear that sweet 2 stroke ding, got obnoxious club music instead. WTF.
Real market value for CUP RS250 is no more than 10k max max..Iconic, Mechums and BAT do not define the market value and we all know what happens behind the scenes on auction sites.
The paint on that poor thing is more beat up than Piper Perri!
Should have put on the Nomex suit before heading to the comments section… ouch!!
Just listed on Jan 11 on Iconic. Still no explanation to the mysterious tank rash and possible repainted tail section. The exhaust has some major rash on it as well, so it looks like this one was thrashed at a track day at some point in it’s (supposed) short 450 mile life.
They’re just small marks . . .
Sold on Iconic today for $14,552: https://iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1999-aprilia-rs250-challenge-cup-with-450-miles
