VEHICLE REVIEW

2009 Aprilia RS
Lap for lap, dollar for dollar, this GP-bred track bike outclasses larger displacement alternatives. With the debut of Aprilia’s track-only Aprilia RS two-stroke single, outsmarting the big bore boys has just become a sport in itself. The Italian manufacturer’s major-thrills track bike with the amazingly low price point is an all-new option for enthusiasts who want the speed, agility and superior handling that only a super-light-weight motorcycle can deliver.

Add an Aprilia Racing-inspired, world-championship-bred 125 cubic centimeter engine, superb brakes, spot-on gearing, sizzling Italian styling and the low manufacturer suggested retail price of just $5,499 and the Aprilia RS becomes the stealth track bike of choice.
At the heart of the Aprilia RS is a sophisticated single-cylinder two-stroke, liquid-cooled engine, based on the same race-proven technology that has resulted in a continuous string of competition victories for Aprilia Racing. Able to reach triple digit speeds, the powerplant is packed with technical advancements including a crankcase reed valve intake, anti-vibration balancer shaft and an automatic fuel-oil mixing system. A robust 6-speed transmission delivers the power to the rear wheel with ratios designed to suit a variety of race track configurations.

The Aprilia RS is an ideal learning platform for new and beginning riders, as well as a solid base for experienced enthusiasts. Whether an aspiring GP star, club racer or weekend warrior, the Aprilia RS delivers a thoroughly rewarding experience lap after lap, simply because it allows riders to focus on improving their riding skills. Best of all, maximum grins on the track have never been so cost-efficient.
