The Aprilia RS250 is a high-performance, two-stroke motorcycle that was produced by the Italian manufacturer Aprilia from 1996 to 2004. It was a popular choice for both road riding and track racing, known for its impressive power output, sharp handling, and distinctive design. The RS250's heart was a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 249 cc, two-stroke engine that produced an astonishing 56 horsepower at 10,500 rpm. This power was delivered through a six-speed transmission and a chain final drive, enabling the RS250 to achieve impressive acceleration and a top speed of around 140 mph. The engine was also equipped with a crankcase reed valve induction system, which contributed to the bike's snappy throttle response and characteristic two-stroke howl.

The RS250 was built on a lightweight, tubular steel frame, featuring a telescopic fork front suspension and a single shock rear suspension. Both front and rear wheels were equipped with disc brakes for powerful stopping power. The RS250's design was instantly recognizable for its sharp lines, aggressive fairings, and the iconic "Aprilia" logo prominently displayed on the front. It was available in a range of vibrant colors, including red, blue, yellow, and black, making it a standout on the road. The RS250 was a popular choice for both experienced riders and aspiring racers, thanks to its impressive performance, handling, and overall appeal. Its legacy continues to be celebrated by collectors and enthusiasts, who appreciate the RS250's unique blend of power, style, and racing heritage.
