Hi Gary,

That looks a beauty \:D/ . They are a piece of art :-# .

I must say what a coincidence..... No I am not 50 but I picked up an RS250 on Saturday too. It is a 1995 Reggiani replica with 11K on the clock. It needs a couple of small jobs such as fork seals. As soon as I have them done I'll stick up some pics.

Enjoy your present :P .

Sorry, but I don't like the Aprilia at all, just looks like it's on steroids, way too bulky for me..... Prefer the look of the KR1S or the RGV.

cheers,
Charles

Hi Charles,

Why don't you just say what you are thinking :lol: :wink:

I must admit, I have to agree with the appeal of the KR that it is minimalistic and light weight. The KR is simple and as a result purposeful (not sure simple is the right word).

Personally, I think the RS is beautiful even if it is a bit "chunky" in places in particular the forks which are an enormous diameter :shock: I have got to ride it yet so can't really comment dynamically.

Still having the choice between the KR and the RS is a nice one and when I chose the KR my wife can pose along on the RS :mrgreen:

Cheers

Andrew

that looks to be a minter - nice present 8)

just my opinion but i think they ruined the look when they changed the
original seat for the droopy verion - seats that point down just don't look
right. :?

still - nice one

The Aprilia is the Last two stroke slayer of the Nineties and milll...i.um
They are Handmade... have the latest gadgets...of the time..
Look and Go Like stink..are Tune-able to give able
performance..and what is more its straight out of the Gp paddock..
These little gems have become very collectable..
Get your hands on one...Now.
And besides...Yes the Kr-1s is rare edge...
the rgv as popular.... But the Aprilia at the time
of press..won over all the opposition..
Rgv Kr1s Nsr... its the one to have...
And the fairings are in proportion to the bike..
It is a beautiful Bike...

And ... i think most if not all off us a bit .." wish i had one"

Now... iam still on the look out...

The first ones were tamarda and rossi..
then the biaggi...
then the last ones...in black and coloured..

To Sum it up...... WHAT A BELTER..... 8)
