[@m.o.1798]

I‘d say one of the most beautiful paintjobs aprilia did on the RS models!

The prettiest Aprilia production motorcycle ever, in my opinion (and they have done a LOT of amazing looking motorcycles though the years). When announced in summer 1994, people initially underrated it, saying "it's just a Suzuki RVG VJ22 in an italian suite", not understanding how much was involved - it ended up becoming one of the biking icons of the 2nd half of the 1990s. There are so many details on the RS250 (all of it), it's just... 😘*muaaa* chef's kiss!

Ooooo!!! I had this bike at the time, loved it. Just sold my RSV-R last week; sad times.I watch with interst.

I have a MK1 'Biaggi' and a MK2 Cup bike that I'm rebuilding. Not sure how much Jimmy weighs but at 170lbs American (77 kg), I was very happy with the spring that Sean @ TTW sells plus a little heavier on the fork oil. Also a Penske double-adjustable. The MK2 seat fits the MK1 and adds some legroom. A Zeeltronic with a quick shifter installed makes for extra fun too. My MK1 has Wiesco pistons, Tyga left-right pipes, VHM heads with 11.8cc chambers, 0;9mm squish, and a hacked up airbox. 67 at the wheel on a Dynojet 200i (I think) on pump gas. Quite a blast. EDIT: It occured to me that I haven't said anything at AP doesn't know already. :)

Same, the R6 hadn't long come out and I so wanted one in blue, so sold the RS to fund the R6. I actually wanted an R1 but bike cost and insurance were too high for me.
