1997 Aprilia RS250 review from Norway
"Ridiculously awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Piston rings blew at 17000km and ruined a cylinder, required a top end rebuild and re-plating of the cylinder.
General comments?
AWESOME BIKE. Much more exciting than any 4-stroke 600cc sports-bike around.
