The Aprilia RS50 was a very popular 1st bike for young gun sixteen year olds in the UK because of the licencing laws but they were fragile and tended to be thashed to within an ince of their life by said young guns.
To look at they are a piece of mobile art but not to practical for normal sized human beings  [thumbsup]

These come up for sale quite often around my area. $1500 to $2000 seems to be the going price, even see them with the 70cc kit. The ad posted its similar to the YSR50 but actually quite a bit bigger. I wouldn't mind having one in place of a scooter.

I have the RS250 Aprilia and its the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Id say the 50cc might be to small for the average bloke. I know that the RS125 had to be flogged to get it moving, but was great through corners due to how light it is.
If you can go for the 250, it is the most under rated bike IMO

Saw one on ebay a few weeks ago, was a 2001 w/58 miles.  $2700 something with 15+ bids and still the reserve hadn't been met.

Makes me think I might buy the local one in A+ condition for $1500 and resell it for some goodies.

Seized solid if you ask me, they are not quite so scarce here as our licencing laws  actually forced you to ride a 50 cc bike at age 16 to 18 for a while until they upped it to 125 cc.

The RS 125 is a much better buy or eeven the Suzook engined RS 250 [thumbsup]
