Aprilia
had plenty of sucess in 250cc GP racing so the RS250 was no
suprise in 1994. The Aprilia RS250 is powered by a modified
Suzuki RGV250 engine using Aprilia's own exhaust and intake
systems.
The chassis on the RS250 is an extremley stiff and lightweight
aluminium twin beam unit, part of the reason the bike handles
corners so well.
Race-spec fully adjustable Showa upside-down front forks and
rear monoshock mean the RS250 can be setup to suit the rider
and road surface. Brembo brakes up front provide excellent stopping
power.
Like all two strokes the Aprilia RS250 has a narrow but rewarding
powerband and regular gear changes are required to maintain
peak power.
