APRILIARS 250 1995 - 1996

　　The Aprilia RS 250 was a two-stroke sports bike made by Aprilia from 1995 to 2002 as a race-oriented motorcycle with technology derived from Aprilia's racing experience. The RS 250 was inspired by the RSW250 Grand Prix model ridden by Valentino Rossi, Max Biaggi, and Loris Capirossi in MotoGP races.

　　In 1995, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia RS 250, a race-inspired sports motorcycle with a full fairing that delivered race-like performance and maneuverability.

　　The bike was designed to resemble the GP250 machine, celebrating their success in the Championship. At its core, the bike packed a Suzuki RGV250 modified engine with a revised ECU, expansion chambers designed by Aprilia, barrels, and an airbox.

　　As for the performance figures, the 1995 Aprilia RS 250 had its soul brought to life by a 249cc two-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine fed by two Mikuni carburetors, delivering 72 hp at 11,900 rpm and 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) torque at 10,750 rpm.

　　The power generated by the engine was sent to the rear wheel via a six-speed manual transmission and a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 210 kph (130 mph).

　　The bike's front end was guided by a 41 mm adjustable upside-down telescopic fork and stopped by two 298 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers. In contrast, the rear end was controlled by a magnesium alloy swingarm tied to an adjustable shock absorber and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper.
