1999 Aprilia RS250
Location: Waterford, MI
Mileage: 1,878
Price: $6,000 with no reserve or $7,500 B.I.N.
I know, I know it’s crazy- 3 RS250’s in the same week and if you think 3 in 1 week is out of this world wait until you see what I have in store next 🙂
Pretty sweet piece of furniture wouldn’t you say? Makes for an awkward bar stool and I’d be pissed if one of my buddies spilled Shiner Bock on it.
I love seeing these types of bikes up for sale because it only means that someone new will get to enjoy it.
This is another converted Cup bike, but once again we are being told that only OEM parts were used in the conversion. The Tetsuya Harada body work is killer and just like all the other RS250 bodywork- it’s my favorite.
From the seller:
This bike started out as a “Cup” bike, but was converted to street use using all OEM parts. It has the very rare 2000 Tetsuya Harada replica body work. There are a few scratches on the rear of the tank from the zipper on my jacket, and a few VERY small marks on the body. Yes, the listing is correct. There are only 1,878 actual miles on this bike. It has never been raced, and has spent the last 6 years in my temperature and humidity controlled basement as a show piece. The motor was tuned by Steve Biganski and has the oil pump removed. I only run Golden Spectro through it. The bike comes with some spares including: windshield, rear seat and strap, sprockets, seat cowl, Jolly Moto expansion chambers (no silencers), and the original oil pump and tank. Motorcycle has a clear Michigan title even though it only has a 15 digit vin.
So, for me it’s a bit of a downer that the oil pump isn’t hooked up, but it’s a huge plus that it only has 1,878 miles on the clock. If I owned this the first thing I’d would be to hit up my buddy Dave at Spartan Leathers for a custom suit to match Harada’s. I can definitely see myself rockin on this one. I wonder if he’d trade for my NSR and meet me half way….?
In this day and age of digital camera’s I have to beat on the seller a little bit for not putting up some better photos. I think it would go along way in helping prospective buyers make a more informed decision. I’ve imported all of the pictures that were available and then some. So if you’re seriously interested you’ll have to to park this one in your garage.

Nice little bike.But have you noticed there seems to be a disproportionate amount of bike enthusiasts out there with “temperature and humidity controlled environments” in their houses.And on top of that,they have been running for years,in most cases.This must cost a fortune.Who makes these micro-climate devices? Or is it just a case of ,”Honey,it’s getting a bit chilly in here,can you flick the heater on.”
This is somewhat local to me just in case someone needs me to pick it up for them and store it at my place!!
@OldSkool – it is kind of funny but in this case it is at least believable being that it is in his basement and that gets heat and humidity control with the rest of the house. If I had a walkout basement, that is where I would store my bikes – for winter at least…
Great bike! You will need to check the tuning though as Biganski is known to have Fu!$ed Up quite a few of these.
