Aprilia RS 250

Compared to NSR250, this bike got more power but lesser torque. This bike can be considered as favourite bike for beginners who demand the power of superbikes with cheap price. Now it ranged maybe around RM12000 on the malaysian 2nd hand bikes market. The best part of this bike is the unique design and the USD fork. Really look like a superbikes except for the pipe exhaust. I heard some complaints that this bike have high oil consumption and maintainance costs. But for a person who hunger for speed, it really worth it.
