Welcome to another edition of our RSBFS Reader’s Rides For Sale! Do you think the acronym “RSBFSRRFS” is a little much? Probably. This time we have a couple of Italian bikes for sale. But the comparisons between the two pretty much stops there. One is a beautiful MV Agusta and the other is mean Aprilia/Yamaha…
Location: Iowa Mileage: 5,760 Price: $2,500 BIN So I may get blasted for writing this up, but I can’t help myself. Yes, it’s small, yes it’s only 50 cc’s, yes it can be registered as a scooter. But, I would be happy to have it in my garage and take it out to annoy my…
For Sale: 2009 Aprilia RS 125 We can thank one of our Facebook posters for the introduction of the phrase “Chicken Chaser” into our vernacular, but I blame jokesters Doug and Ian for perpetuating the moniker on RSBFS.

A holiday where no mailbox is safe from explosives and where we all give thanks for not having to endure royal weddings. Hey, what says America like an Italian bike with a heart from…
For Sale: 2007 Aprilia RSV Mille R 1000 Factory Today’s post is all about the eye candy. I know how you RSBFS fans go nuts for Ohlins suspension, dig Brembo radial mount calipers and love you some carbon fiber like Rossi loves an apex – so I found some for you. To mix things up…

In 2003, Aprilia produced an RSV Mille R Edwards Replica with a livery inspired by the Aprilia RS3 Cube MotoGP motorcycle riden by Colin Edwards, as with the Haga replica from 2002, the motorcycle came with a circuit kit, which included Akrapovic exhausts, a more…
