1999 Aprilia RS 250 Cup Bike for sale on the cheap
Location: San Francisco, CA
Price: $3,500
Mileage: unknown race bike
For some odd reason I’ve been on the lookout for 2 strokes as of late. I don’t think it would have anything to do with a few of our viewers telling me how “this they are or how that they are.” No, that couldn’t be it because all of our viewers are proper motorcycle folk and only give sound advice to the unsuspecting RSBFS authors (laughter fills the halls of the RSBFS offices). Over the past few weeks I have become partial to the RS250 and have been scouring the net in search of every last one of them or at least a few choice parts that may fit.
Today’s find looks to be a little used and might have been down at one point in its illustrious life as a club racer, but the asking price of $3,500 more than makes up for it. Even though it still sports the original bodywork there’s no mention mileage so, you would definitely want to contact the seller for the 411.
Have a look:
From the listing:
This bike has been called “the last of the fire breathing dragons” because it is one of the best 250cc two stroke motorcycles every made. Some consider this to be the best handling bike ever.
I brought it from a racer in Minnesota in order to turn it into an electric race bike. We didn’t use it and now I have to sell it. This bike has been raced to many victories, but is still in pretty good shape. There is a little road rash on the exhaust pipes and some scratches here and there. I cut off the ignition lock from the upper triple clamp, but for a race bike you really don’t need it.
I recently had the opportunity to ride one of these and I have to agree that it might be the best handling bike ever made. Okay, so that’s subjective to the rider, but they do feel very light and nimble just like you would expect a lightweight race bike to feel.
If you bleed premix, need a winter project or are looking for a back up- this one might be for you.
Cheers!
