The Aprilia RS250, a true icon of the late 90s motorcycle world, was a potent and thrilling machine that captured the hearts of sportbike enthusiasts. Introduced in 1997, the RS250 was a testament to Aprilia's racing pedigree and innovative engineering. This lightweight and agile motorcycle boasted a powerful 249cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke, single-cylinder engine, capable of producing a staggering 60 horsepower and revving to 13,000 rpm. The RS250's performance was further enhanced by its lightweight construction, featuring a tubular steel frame and aluminum swingarm, allowing it to carve corners with exceptional agility. Its aggressive styling, highlighted by the iconic "beak" fairing and sleek lines, solidified its position as a true head-turner. The RS250 was a truly unique motorcycle, blending raw power with featherweight handling, making it an exhilarating machine for experienced riders looking for an adrenaline rush.
The Aprilia RS250 was not only a performance machine but also a highly sought-after collectible. Its limited production run and reputation as a high-performance, uncompromising sportsbike have ensured its enduring popularity among motorcycle enthusiasts. The absence of many electronic rider aids, common in modern motorcycles, further contributed to its raw and engaging riding experience. However, the RS250's two-stroke nature and high-revving engine demanded more commitment and skill to ride effectively. Its mechanical complexity also required regular maintenance and specialized knowledge, making owning an RS250 a truly passionate endeavor. The 1997 Aprilia RS250 Workshop Repair Service Manual provided the essential information and guidance for owners and mechanics to understand and maintain this complex yet rewarding motorcycle, ensuring its continued performance and longevity.
