The Aprilia RS250 is a high-performance, two-stroke motorcycle that was produced by the Italian manufacturer Aprilia from 1995 to 1997. The RS250 was designed as a homologation special, a racing-derived motorcycle that was built to meet the requirements of the FIM 250cc Grand Prix World Championship. This meant the RS250 shared many of its components with the Aprilia race bikes, making it a desirable choice for both track and street riders. Its sleek, aerodynamic bodywork and lightweight construction, coupled with a potent 249cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder, two-stroke engine, delivered exhilarating performance and handling, setting a new standard for sportbikes in its class. The RS250 is known for its distinctive design featuring a single-sided swingarm, a feature borrowed directly from Aprilia's racing machines. This design not only provided a striking visual element but also enhanced the bike's handling and weight distribution. The engine, known for its screaming exhaust note and potent power delivery, was capable of pushing the RS250 to speeds exceeding 140 mph. The RS250 was regarded not only for its performance but also for its sophisticated engineering. Featuring a double-beam aluminum frame, a fully adjustable suspension, and powerful brakes, the RS250 offered a level of refinement that was uncommon for bikes in its class. Despite its performance pedigree, the RS250 was also considered relatively user-friendly for its intended audience of experienced riders. Its agility and responsive nature made it a capable machine on both the track and the road, appealing to riders seeking a thrilling and engaging riding experience.
