Aprilia RS50

The aprilia rs50 is a fantastic looking bike, i bought the repsol replica about 4 months ago and the year is 2003 due to the plastic gear box i hear they have the gears jump around a little and when throtteling it it pops into neutral (not often) and redlines it until you change gear properly and you got to hope it stays there!! since i had the bike i found the gearbox is a main problem as it now crunches up and down the gears and will cost a lot to get a new one!! if it was working i would be out on it now as it is such a head turner it feels good to be the owner the gearbox and speedo are the only problems ive had and the speedo was ...  Read the complete review

The Aprilia RS50 Motorbike is the stuff of a 16 year olds dreams. It has the look and performance of a proper sports bike. The Aprilia RS50 has 6hp and can be ridden by anyone aged 16 or older who has passed their CBT in the last 2 years or who is in possession of a full motorcycle license.

My new Aprilia RS50 (the Repsol Race Replica version) was delivered last week. First impressions on riding it (it's still restricted) was that it is one hell of a lot faster than I had ever expected. I was expecting a bike that would struggle to reach 33mph. The fact was that after a few miles were under it's belt, it was reaching 45mph quickly and easily and there was still plenty in reserve. The bike really and truly looks the part. It has a proper race frame, and everything about it screams that this is a race bike with a small engine, and not the sports moped of the kind that I'd seen while looking for a small bike to buy for my son who ...  Read the complete review

I am 16 and come from Lincoln, in early Febuary i brought a second hand Aprilia RS 50 Extrema 1994, it was an import from Italy. When i first brought the bike it was de-restricted, had a problem of jumping out of 3rd gear and sometimes wouldnt go in at all. It also had all the cosmetic damage you would expect from an 11year old bike. My dad being a merchanic sorted out the problems with the bike and also touched up the paint work. Was then a good looking bike. Then when i turned 16 in early March i riden the bike back from my farthers to Lincoln, (he lives in chesterfield) which is about 55 miles away, rather far for a first ride. lol. After a week of having my bike on ...  Read the complete review
