Talk:Aprilia RS250

Looks like an advertisement, so...
I threw up an NPOV. Phentos (talk) 02:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Agreed that it's NPOV, but it'd be a challenge to find someone to write about RS250 who is not enthusiastic about this machine. Ine8181 (talk) 06:33, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

As an owner, it looks like a fairly good summation of the bike. I wouldn't call it an ad as much as I would call it an enthusiastic yet spot-on description. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.155.181 (talk) 05:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Another owner here too, this article needs some work but I thinks its pretty accurate. --Micky750k (talk) 09:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Yet another owner here. I'd like to see a pic of the "other" instrument panel that my 1999 RS250 Challenge has. Agreed that it's hard to say something negative about this machine. My only complaint is I'm 6'4" and it's small for longer races/street rides. Would it make sense to point out that it's not street legal in US, etc? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.146.178.60 (talk) 16:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

As an RS250 owner and a regular track rider I can tell you it's accurate. My bike is a 2001 and does have nice updates not completely included in the decription.

I have a 1997 RS250 which I both ride on the street and race at Willow Springs CA. The only inaccuracy I see in the article is the reference to a high power to weight ratio. With 57hp and weighing about 350lb the ratio is high for a 250cc street motorcycle, but not by absolute standards these days. But they have enough power to go 120mph, they are very good handling and have very good brakes; and they're a lot of fun to race. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meekerdb (talk • contribs) 01:12, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

As someone who isn't an owner, this looks like blatant advertising.

This is not advertising - this bike is no longer manufactured and is only available in small numbers second-hand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.1.118.168 (talk) 15:43, 8 July 2010 (UTC)


 * It is irrelevant that it is out of production or available in small numbers. The article should be re-written from a neutral point of view using independent sources. It's the same standard for all Wikipedia articles. --Dbratland (talk) 15:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

'''seriously? the picture on the RS250 page looks totaly rubbish, i mean what you want is a black chesterfield edition with cardon exhausts, purple bar ends, take of the bag pegs, and totasly revamp the performance parts.. then its a 100% bike.''' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.249.48.109 (talk) 13:55, 11 December 2010 (UTC)


 * So fix it! --Biker Biker (talk) 13:59, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
