Update 7.24.2022: This bike has SOLD to an RSBFS reader! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Aprilia had a championship winner on their hands with the 1991 RSV250 road racer, and took it to the streets in 1995 in the RS250. RSBFS reader Phil has been caretaker and occasional rider of this original and exquisite…
In countries where riders prefer their roads twisty and their exhausts smoky, bikes like this little Suzuki RGV250 aren’t all that rare and don’t command the prices they do here in the US, and titled examples of the little two-stroke sportbikes are even more difficult to find. Introduced in 1988, the RGV250 Γ “Gamma” replaced…
Forty some-odd years into Aprilia’s history they added road racing to their off-road program, with remarkable results – ten 125cc championships and nine in the 250cc class. Bold names from this year’s Moto GP grids like Valentino Rossi, Marco Melandri, and Jorge Lorenzo all were 250cc champions for Aprilia. Built from 1995 through 2002, the…
1996 Aprilia RS250 Location: Rancho Cordova, CA Mileage: speedo says 27,217 Price: $9,000.00 As I was shopping ‘the bay’ this morning for a few bits I ran across this Cali titled RS250. Not a bad looking bike, has a title, has a newly rebuilt motor along with a few other bits and pieces. I’m not…
1994 Aprilia RS250 4,100 miles $7,495.00 BIN Here we have a 1994 Aprilia RS250 Loris Reggiani replica. If you’re thinking that you’ve seen this bike on RSFS before, you are correct. 1994 was a banner year for Aprilia as they wrapped up the 125 and 250cc World Championships with Kazuto Sakata and Max Biaggi respectively.…
Well I gotta tell you, I know these bikes real well and this my friends is the “dogs bollocks”. I’d bet my Max Biaggi blow up doll that this bike is as the owner claims. I’ve scanned the pictures pretty good and this bike looks perfect and correct, right down to the owner’s manual, pillion…
Ahh, probably my favorite bike of all time. Bought my first one in 1995 and never looked back, just something about these things. Like the first “hot” girlfriend you had, the memories never go away nor do the stories. Anyway, enough of that, I know this bike as it came from here in Oregon as a…
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…
