The Aprilia RS250’s picture is next to “peaky” in Webster’s – mumbling around town, just butting in to the conversation at 5,000 rpm, but singing all the way to 60 two-stroke hp at 11,900 rpm. Just 309 lbs dry, the RS250 can be a riding lesson every time out and demands only regular attention to…
Regularly seen in racing livery and worn around the edges from track use, here is a mint example in factory paint with just 637 miles.

I never really understood “new in the box” type of people. As I kid I did not hang out with the action figure collectors who liked to look at their as-new packaged Star Wars figures. I prefered to use my toys, breaking them occasionally. As I grew up, little changed (except maybe the frequency of…

The Italian claimed his trophies aboard Aprilia’s fantastic RS250GP, so the factory threw some…
