2003 APRILIA RS250 STREETBIKE, 15 MILES !!

That’s right, 15 miles the owner claims. If the bike is “in the wrapper” then you’ve got yourself a pretty rare one plus the fact that it’s an 03 which here in the US are beyond rare. Hard to tell from the pictures but the bike looks “all there”, the only drawback is that there is no title or registration but the owner claims he can get this. These bikes are unchanged from 1998 except paint schemes and Aprilia stopped making the 250 in 2004 I believe. Using basically the Suzuki RGV250 motor, these bikes are pretty bullet proof and probably one of the best 250 streetbikes you can buy. Located in Lake Forest, California, with an asking price of $9500, see it on Craigslist here.

The ad reads:

Yes, you read correctly. This is a brand new Aprilia RS250 with 15 miles on it. I brought this bike over from England a while ago. I purchased it from a dealer that had one left in a crate. He had fogged the engine for long term storage as he was going to keep it forever. This protected the engine perfectly, and he cranked it over every so often to prevent anything from sticking. This bike stays covered in my insulated garage and has not a scratch or ding anywhere. This bike is absolutely perfect. I take it out and heat cycle it every month or so to keep it fresh. This is the last year of production for the road version of the RS250. The USA version (RS250 Cup was sold until 2004 but only had a 15 digit VIN making it very hard to register.) This bike has a 17 digit VIN. I never bought this bike with the intent of riding it (I have another RS for that.), but I do have a contact that can take care of the registration for you. Please no outside requests for getting your bike registered.This is NOT a converted cup bike. Trust me, you don’t want somebody’s run-out track bike. This is the road version that was never available for sale in the US. As far as I know from many of the message boards and bike clubs I am part of, this may be the only 2003 road version in the US. I am 100% happy to answer any questions you may have pertaining to the sale of the bike, but please spare me the lowball offers and rude emails about the price. Serious inquiries only.

Maybe not the prettiest paint scheme but a real 15 mile 250 streetbike is worth the asking price. If you do indeed get a title and registration that will just increase the value quite a bit. The only other thing I would do to the bike is flush out the coolant and probably a new set of tires just because of age; otherwise have fun in the Malibu canyons!

Ciao for now….Jay
