The RS 250 combined a highly developed two-stroke twin with aluminium chassis engineering in a road bike closely associated with Aprilia’s Grand Prix identity.
Why it matters. One of the last great road-legal quarter-litre two-stroke sport bikes.

Research starting point
Built to improve, not freeze.
Model-year specifications can vary. The museum keeps the stable historical interpretation here and leaves room to add exact variants, racing derivatives, engine codes and source-specific specifications later.
