Aprilia - the best, most innovative, brilliant handling and performing bikes I ever owned.
I had a new Mille RSVR in 2000, followed by a 2002 RSVR Tuono. I bought another one of those rare bikes a few years later. However, the best, real world, fastest and superb handling bikes were my two RS250’s. Fitted with Dunlop Intermediate Race tyres. With 70 hp and weighing in at about 140kg (just over 300 lbs) they were faster on the “twisties” than any 1000 cc sports bike.
Twenty years since I sold the last one and I regret it every day!
