Aprilia RS250 Biaggi
Thought I'd share another one, this one from my past collection;
1996 RS250 Biaggi "Silver Bullet". One of 300 built to commemorate Biaggis success in the early 90's. This was followed by the 96-97 run of 600 Chesterfield models (black & red). I've only seen a handful of other silver ones in the USA. This one was brought in through Japan by a State Dept guy who got it licensed in CA. Probably the best handling bike I've ever ridden. That massive frame is magnesium, so it corners like a 125GP bike, but I had Biganski work the engine so it make 64rwhp, and they only weigh 310lbs. The Challenge Cup bikes brought in from 98-up actually had better suspension and wider front rim, but the body became more functional and gave up aesthetics. Mine was mint, and I turned down an hefty cash offer from a German collector who saw it at Laguna Seca WSBK in 2000. But sadly, I had to part with it when business capital needs dictated in 2001, and it went to another collector in the Bay Area who IIRC has a Lucky Strike RGV250, Rothmans NSR250, etc. Riding a 2 stroke on the street is a love/hate relationship though...and to save weight this had a kick starter. God help you if you flood it or try to start it on cold mornings...

Re: Aprilia RS250 Biaggi
Posted my Duc Superlight in the other section...that concludes my show and tell. My other bikes have been more utilitarian but fun bikes, CBR, VFR, etc.
