- Our latest 2-minute special bike edit and this time we're paying tribute to the Aprilia RSV 250, the predecessor to the AF1 250 gp bike.
The first GP win for this bike came at Assen, 1991 in the hands of non other than Pierfrancesco Chili. The bike then went on to win its first world championship in 1994 with Max Biaggi at the helm.
Further carnations of the bike would be the RSW (with a beautiful carbon fibre swingarm!) right up to the RSA - which raced in the final days of the 250 GP before the championship got kiboshed and replaced with Moto2.
The bike won 10 world championships - albeit 1 in the guise of Gilera with Marco Simoncelli!
These two beauties were at the CRMC classic motorcycle festival at Donington Park 2023 and are in the classic 1994 Chesterfield livery of Max Biaggi and Jean-Philippe Ruggia.

My mrs will never understand the joy i get from just the smell of a 2 stroke on a sunny summers day. It reminds me of my teenage years.
Possibly the greatest smell on earth!
Got goose bumps listening to those glorious 2 stroke sounds.
It’s that crackle when they get on the pipe! Just lovely.
Thank you for this excellent piece sustaining and celebrating motorcycling culture & history.
🙏🙏 such amazing bikes!
Love it❤👍👍
Thank you!! Hopfully, we'll get a few more videos like this out this year 😊
I'm lucky to own a 95 road going one and it's an addictive sound. The 4 stroke guys I ride with don't understand it.
Nice! The ‘95 is a great looking bike. What colour is yours? Four strokes are just big diesels anyway 👍
THE engine is 2 stroke. Everything else is just overcomplicating what simple is. Watching such 250cc small chainsaws killing 600/1000cc bikes on short tracks is the funniest thing. Can’t watch the gp since they banned 2t.
