The Aprilia RS250, produced from 1995 to 1997, is a high-performance, two-stroke motorcycle that cemented Aprilia's reputation as a manufacturer of cutting-edge, racing-inspired machines. This iconic model was designed to be a true track weapon, boasting a powerful and responsive 249 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine capable of producing a thrilling 55 horsepower. The RS250 featured a lightweight, tubular steel frame, a single-sided swingarm for increased chain access and maintenance, and a fully adjustable suspension from Showa.
