Update 10.27.2017: SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc
This Aprilia RS250 is being sold by Speedwerks, good friends of RSBFS and a meticulous bunch whose offerings are always top notch. This quarter-liter ripper is no exception, having recently undergone a thorough mechanical and cosmetic freshening. The long list of new stuff includes Brembo brake master cylinder, pads and lines and a set of sticky Bridgestone 090s.
The RS250 is essentially the lights-and-mirrors version of Aprilia’s RSV grand prix bike, and employs a 90-degree Suzuki VJ22 two-stroke v-twin. The RS line was one of the last serious street-legal two-stroke featherweights, and should feel more like a modern motorcycle than some of Japan’s older options.
Though the VJ22 is limited to 45 horses in Japanese trim, Aprilia did what they could with the CDI box to change that, and Speedwerks have added custom exhausts, re-jetted the carbs and fitted a CDI that gives the twin its full complement of ponies. As it sits, the bike should be good for somewhere around 60 horsepower.
The benefit of a thorough going-over with new paint, graphics and bodywork shows; this thing is ludicrously pretty for an aged, all-or-nothing canyon carver.
