Nice bikes but they really aren't worth that sort of money.
I have always been a 4 stroke man and hated stink wheels. A mate of mine had an off at a track day on an Aprillia RS250 and bike came off better than him! I reluctantly agreed to ride it from Donnington to Bristol. Man what a buzz! Addictive. I've ridden 350Lc's etc but the little prilla was something else!

You have to be able to ride very well to keep them in the power band and the power on around corners to stop threepenny bitting. 4T's are lazy rider bikes in comparison. I don't mean in a bad way but an RS250 has to be ridden very well and if it is then there is not much that would touch it off dual carriageways. The return on good riding is very high.

Just finished this...Had one as a pup (Attachment Link)
This is the closest I have to an RS250... a few years earlier but not a million miles away technology wise. Sure it would take a much better rider than me to get the most out of it (think Luca Cadalora for example).. but it handles superbly, never gets out of shape, soaks up the road, brakes on a ha'penny and goes like a rocket.. Though it does tend to goad you into riding faster than say the CB750 would.
