Vehicle Information
Aprilia RS 250 Motorcycle - Street (1996-2004)
The Aprilia RS 250, produced from 1996 to 2004, is a high-performance two-stroke sport bike renowned for its race-derived design and agile handling. It features a liquid-cooled, 249 cc, 90-degree V-twin two-stroke engine, originally a modified Suzuki RGV250 unit with Aprilia's specific enhancements for optimized performance. These included a revised ECU, custom expansion chambers, updated barrels, and an airbox. A significant update occurred in 1998, introducing the "second generation" or "GP1" model. While the core engine and frame remained consistent, this revision brought revised styling to mimic the GP250 race bike, upgraded Showa front forks (41 mm inverted, fully adjustable) and an adjustable Sachs mono-shock, a new instrument panel, and a change in front wheel and tire size (rim from 3.0x17 to 3.5x17, tire from 110/70x17 to 120/60x17). Trims primarily involved cosmetic differences, often reflecting Aprilia's racing liveries like the Chesterfield Replica. FAQ:
