2000 Aprilia RS250
Location: Twin Falls, ID
Mileage: 3,029
Price: $7,500 with reserve
That’s right boys- Step right up for yet another great looking RS250. If the last one I posted had too many miles for your liking maybe this one will get you a little more excited.
Unlike last weeks bike this is a converted cup bike, but the owner appears to have done it up right. I’m especially fond of the super slick rear light set up.
Check it out..
I realize that I usually show a picture of the whole bike as the first one, but I just couldn’t help myself on this one. I also realize that this isn’t a minty fresh stocker with no mods, but this one is worthy of praise in it’s own right.
Here’s a few reasons why:
1. It’s a one owner bike!
2. Road bike since new
3. You still get all of the factory spares that these were originally sold with- unused!
4. Super low miles
Still have your attention? Look and read on….
I am the original owner since it was on the showroom floor.
Never crashed, Never down, Never Raced. Adult Owned.
Synthetic Oils used since new.
Very easy engine break-in when new
This is a converted cup bike, that was converted with all Aprilia OEM Parts where applicable.
No expense spared on any of the upgrades/changes.
Clear Title, Street Registered.
Stored indoors every winter.
All stock Cup Bikes parts are included if you want to change the machine back to stock.
There has never been any mechanical issues with the bike. No rebuilds, engine has not been torn apart. The bike is all original and perfect with the exception of the add on parts listed below.There are two issues with the bike:
#1 There is some bubbling in the clear coat on the left side of the tail section around the RS250 Red Logo (Thank you local painter). I was told by another body shop that it could be wet sanded out, but I didn’t get around to having it done. I tried to photograph the affected area the best I could. Otherwise the bike is immaculate, no scratches. It has been well cared for and loved.
#2 The bike needs new tires. Fair amount of tread left, but they are getting hard.
#3 That’s it! Other than the above noted issues, the bike is perfect. Runs awesome, looks PERFECT.

Now, I can speak with a little bit of knowledge on this and say that to ‘properly’ convert a Cup bike isn’t cheap. I know it can be done to get it on the street fairly inexpensively, but to do it like this one is not cheap or easy. So while you may scoff at the $7,500 opening bid with a reserve, you also need to read all that has been done and added to this sweet azz bike.
How many other Ape’s do you think are rolling around with a dry clutch? Better? Probably not, but the cool factor is through the roof!
I probably like this one a little more than last weeks, but that is just my opinion and you can take from that exactly what you paid for it!
to place the first bid-
Cheers!

That integrated tail light would get you a ticket in most states the blinkers are not far enough apart.
Been down the RS road more than once myself, it is worth the price!!
Never raced ? Hmm A converted cup bike with all those mods seems like it was built for the track. Thats the only place a dry clutch on a 2-stroke would make a difference. Not that being on the track or racing would lower the price of that bike. If it was CA plated I’d be bidding on it
I’ve been talking to the seller, he won’t take less than 11,400 for this bike. All the info in the ad is true, is the price too high?
It would make it the highest priced (by a wide margin) RS we’ve ever seen for sale
