That sound!! Love it! I remember the first time I heard a 2 stroke sport bike when I was really young playing Road Rash on the PS1, loved them ever since. Closest thing to your's I ever rode was when a friend of mine managed to sneak a Suzuki RGV250 (same base engine) over to the states I got to ride one and my 4 bangers never felt the same (600F2 then 900rr). Damned emissions laws in the states never made getting my dream bike (RS250) easy.
@@c88rrado Idk what he's talking about, cause you CAN have a street-legal 2-stroke. They just stopped making them for the most part. LOVE this bike! Can't wait to get one, then eventually a Suter 500!
Very nice and fast bike. My brother own the aprilia rs250 mk1 and mk2 (gp1). And i own the nsr250 mc21. Just imagine if aprilia made a 500cc v-twin 2 stroke road version...in my dream. Btw keep 2 stroke alive and gasss ✊
wow! a 2 stroke family it is :-) nice, here in austria you spot maybe one mk1 a year, but never mk2`s. since quite some people like this whacky, unedited video i will make a real video the time it gets warm again. maybe a ride through the nice west- or south Styria
I still have my 1999 rs250 here in Osaka, Japan. Bought it in 2009. Had it serviced more times than I can remember. Engine was rebuilt over the years. The guy who did the maintenance sadly retired last year and it's hard to find anyone who can work on these bikes here now. Still gets people talking when I pull into my local riders hangout.
@@c88rrado Yeah, the mechanic I dealt with was able to source some interchangeable parts, but apparently Aprilia made quite a few mods to the RGV250 engine. Here's what Wikipedia says about it: "Aprilia bought engines from Suzuki (which were fitted with Aprilia branded castings on the timing and clutch covers), then fit their own expansion chambers, barrels and ECU. They also redesigned the heads to have larger cooling passages and a slightly different combustion chamber shape."
@@c88rrado si boh.. a quanto può andare quel bus? 100 kmh? quando lo supera il conta km segna 160 e pure lo supera molto lentamente.. Non so, forse è solo una impressione data dal video.. fatto sta che è una moto fantastica, inconfondibile il sound del bicilindrico suzuki..
Its a 250.. import from germany so it is fitted with catalytic exhaust. I am looking for a set of performance exhaust but not sure wich one i want. The jolly is one of the better i have read from forums.
mine was originally shipped to Austria which means it had the cat as well. you definitely should go with the jolly´s. the taiga pipes should run as well, but my mechanic told me that jolly Moto corsa runs the best@@GT125man
Servus .bin 2 jahre aprilia.cup gefahren.Da lagen wir leistungsmässig bei 65 -68 ps .war am hungaroring mit 1.56 min damals gleich schnell wie die besten honda cup fahrer.
1995 .Im ersten jahr noch mit serienauspuff .Hatte damals so um die 58 ps.Die ersten fünf kamen immer auf den prüfstand.Das 96 modell hatte vom werk aus etwa 3 ps mehr.plus jolly moto war dann schon spürbar.leider mussten wir dann mit dunlop anstatt pirelli fahren die deutlich schlechter waren.
@@c88rrado War bei insgesamt 18 rennen 16 mal erster oder zweiter.Für den gesamtsieg hat es trotzdem nicht gereicht.Da war der heinz pohl vorne.Er gewann dann noch zweimal den kawasaki cup.
ich fange in 3 monaten mein 125ger führerschein an und bekomme dann von meinen eltern die Aprilia rs 125 PY mit Alitalia verkleidung und gianelli entschalldämpfer + Aprilia racing krümmer habe schon richtig bock drauf! :)) EDIT: Natürlich fahre ich die *hust* gedrosselt *hust*
weiß nicht genau wie das bei euch abläuft, in österreich kann man mittlerweile auch 125er ab 16 fahren. wenn du den schein dafür hast und ein kennzeichen auf deinem gerät ist, interssiert es keinen menschen mehr wie schnell das ding geht. es gibt in österreich keinen behördlichen prüfstand für motorräder :-)
@@c88rrado nein die maschiene muss eigentlich auf 15 PS. Gedrosselt sein... Dann läuft die py ca. 130 135 kmh.. Aber ich werde sie ungedrosselt fahren heißt ca. 160 kmh.. Ich freue mich schon so hart auf die aprilia😍 Ps:Ride safe ❤️
I‘m 188cm and frankly said it’s a pain in the ass to roll around. When you push the bike hard then it’s really intuitive and well suited, but riding leisurely causes pain in the hands. For me at least
Yeah, your engine temperature seems a bit low. I'm not an expert but i always thought that optimal engine temperature should be just above 80 degrees C. Or perhaps, your sensor measures coolant temperature and your engine temperature is actually above 80 degrees C? But then, isn't it coolant temperature in all vehicles? Related to this topic, i have a problem with my RS 125. Its a new shape two stroke model and it has temperature indication in bars, with 3 bars being optimal. When the weather is colder and it rains, sometimes the temperature indicator drops to one bar and even zero bars. Could it be a faulty thermostat? Am i damaging the engine while riding it when it drops to fewer bars?
Žilvinas Deveika in the rs250 case i just can tell you that indeed around 80 degrees would be perfect. Maybe the gauge shows wrong reading, the engine itself shows no problem with those temps, thermostat works fine. In your case i would take the thermostat out if possible and throw it in hot water, it then should open. If it stays Open all the time it could be a problem over time. Mine is a 2000 model and i think as long as they get oil they are very durable. Try the hot water Trick but overall i think you have no reason for worries
@@amir253_ there are two models, MK1 and MK2. My RS250 is a MK2 an those models had been produced from 1998 till 2002. so an MK2 from 2002 is the one you want to have
Mansdaz your comment seems legit when i think about it. in 15 years of 2 stroking i never had any engine failure because of engine braking tho. You are Right, there isnt much oilpumping with closed throttle going on, but i never even heard of a damage cause of that 🤔
