In 1996, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Aprilia RS 250 Chesterfield Replica, a sports replica of Noale's official Superbike Championship machines. It featured a specific graphic scheme and was addressed mainly to racing fans. In other departments, it packed the same specifications as the base model.
The Aprilia RS 250 was a two-stroke sports motorcycle produced by Aprilia from 1995 to 2002. It was 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.
Besides its graphics, the Chesterfield Replica packed standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a dual exhaust system with vertically stacked silencers, and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 40 mm inverted fork on the front, offering 120 mm of travel, and an adjustable monoshock with 130 mm of travel on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.
Two 298 brake mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the rear stopped the bike's wheels.
As for the power figures, the 1996 Aprilia RS 250 Chesterfield Replica had its heartbeat set by a 249cc two-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine, boasting 72 hp at 11,900 rpm and 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) torque at 10,750 rpm.
