The Aprilia RS250 is a two-stroke 249cc (15.2 cu in) sport-bike made by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia. A race-oriented motorcycle with technology derived from Aprilia's racing experience, it is inspired by the Aprilia RSW250 Grand Prix motorcycle used by riders such as Valentino Rossi, Max Biaggi and Loris Capirossi in MotoGP races.

The RS250 was designed by Aprilia to resemble their GP250 bike and celebrate their success in the championship. The Aprilia RS250 is powered by a modified Suzuki RGV250 (VJ22) engine which is prepared by Aprilia, changes include a revised ECU, Aprilia-designed expansion chambers, barrels and airbox. The twin 34 mm flat slide Mikuni carburettors are retained from the RGV.

This striking Aprilia has formed part of an enthusiast’s private collection. In generally good order, it is an ideal lightweight machine. Run recently, it will need light recommissioning before use. Currently, the machine is Isle of Man registered, however, it was previously UK registered. There is a Manx title on file along with handbooks and some old UK MOT certificates.
