But [[Aprilia]]'s RS250 continues to provide some of the purest motorcycling performance available. The heart of the bike is a rather outdated engine, [[Suzuki RGV250|Suzuki's RGV250]] motor, first seen in 1989. It's a [[V-twin]] two-stroke, with several advanced power-boosting features, including guillotine-type power valves, electronically-controlled 34mm [[Mikuni]] flat-slide [[carburetors]] and ceramic-coated cylinders. | But [[Aprilia]]'s RS250 continues to provide some of the purest motorcycling performance available.

The rest of the bike is more than capable of handling this impressive power figure. A twin-spar aluminum frame provides super-stiff handling, and the fully-adjustable Showa upside-down front forks and rear [[monoshock]] allow a wide range of adjustment for any track or road situation. Wide sports tires provide amazing grip, and the front twin Brembo four-piston calipers offer superlative stopping power, especially for a bike weighing just 140kg (309lbs). | The rest of the bike is more than capable of handling this impressive power figure.
