I’m not convinced that RS250’s get that many “ew’s” and “ah’s” from the RSBFS masses any more but there is no doubt they still sell. I’ll admit I’ve been shocked by a couple of the selling prices (as in high) for titled RS250’s. As for the untitled cup bikes, well, they are a nice inexpensive way to get out on the track on a two stroke. Both ends of the spectrum are represented on Ebay right now.
The 2000 looks to be a converted cup bike with the paper work to get her off the track. It looks well cared for and has some nice upgrades.
I’ve seen that light set up on a few converted cup bikes. If you ever get caught out at night, I wonder if it actually points light where you need it?
From the seller:
00′ Aprilia RS250 Super rare, ultra trick, street legal, twin cylinder, two-stroke street/race bike. Carbon fiber exhaust, steering stabilizer, Brembo brakes, steel braded lines and much more. The Aprilia RS250’s single crank V-twin stroker makes you work for your reward. It hits perfect pitch at 10,500rpm, delivering 55bhp with a sweet punch! The RS250 is simply one of the very best, least-compromised GP style sports motorcycles money can buy! Super light weight and one of the most fun bikes to ride!!!
I know they are Lomas pipes and I’m pretty sure those are the stainless versions. If you’ve ever tried to keep mild steel chambers clean then you might like this upgrade.

IMO, for a few bucks more, get a real 2smoke GP replica streetbike RG500. A 2-fiddy is nice, but not a fun street ride. Hell, for half the price, buy a modern 600 or 1000 and ride circles around the Priller. The track bike is actually priced decently, but again for a few bux more you can have a real 250GP racer. I used to want one of these bad, now I’m over it…
