One of the best sounding bikes on the planet, and the video sound track is this....
Track 1: Talking
Track 2: Bad 80's hair band rock music.
Track 3: Talking.
Track 4: Small town failed musician's rock/country weekend mashup.
Track 5: Talking.
Track 6: Early 90's Romantic/Comedy music.

[@NeverForgetNasa]

Perfect summary!!! :-)

[@normanhughedicko4076]

Used to own these beauty from 1999-2003 with full Arrow pipe and a bit of stage 1 mod..Runs like a dream..Suprised me its a Suzuki engine

[@Daedalus89]

Owned one of these back in 2007, sold it for a fortune, wish I kept it cause the value just keeps going up.

[@alistairthompson2750]

Anyone choosing a 600 bandit over that wants the men In white coats

[@derf9465]

Been riding one just like this for over a year, on the road it can sit in traffic at over 6000 perfectly fine. He's right doesn't do slow. Plugs oil up and when you clear it out, a big Blue haze in your mirrors.

[@kunzumla94]

I had a 2003 model. One of the last.
I wish I still had it. Track days were great fun although I always wanted a
bit more power. They go for silly money now. Shame.

[@homonovus6]

a beauty for centuries to come

[@Chalky.]

Would have loved one of these but they were very expensive, but was more than happy with my RGV250M.

[@DersNoNem]

They used Suzuki engine, just tune your engine as powerful as this bike

[@NRBBIKES]

this is the sort of bike i wish to own at least once or to keep

[@rob666lee]

Best handling bike ever

[@DaveBears]

Great review

[@mrgreen9388]

1200 Bandit now worth 1500 quid rs250 still worth 6 grand😂👌👌

[@immytweed4607]

8.5/9 k now

[@d.c7464]

Awesome bike ! when tuned will leave anything on a a curvy road in the dust.

[@Mybwain]

Cat and fiddle

[@cyborgbadger1015]

gorgeous!!

[@alistairthompson2750]

Their worth shit hot money now as are most 250gp two stroke road bikes

[@jutgamester5870]

a beauty..i love my rs 125 extrema..aprilias are great..

[@GhostRider-fr8fh]

i have one of these !
can’t wait to finally drive it once i got my A2 drivers license 😁

[@mstelios4259]

How is this A2 legal?

[@turnip5465]

@@mstelios4259 its not but most places just care about cubes.. nobody really cares here that an "A1 15hp 2 stroke" RS125 actually makes 33whp so guessing its the same logic :p

[@giuliofogazzaro7704]

I have one 25kw resctricted cpu for this moto for sale 👍

[@DigitalSamTV]

Very cool

[@Mybwain]

I wish I had bought a couple of these back in the day they were ready, easy to source and compared to now; cheap.

[@Thomas-us4wq]

Hi Men and Motors.. Can you tell me if you have a "used bike video" for the Honda CBR 600 F4i ?

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Good bike if you can find one that’s been looked after.

[@Thomas-us4wq]

@@Showmetheevidence- I bought one 4 years ago.. Now it has 40000 km more on the clock :) Great bike.

[@MrkStphn91]

is it possible to see if this 1998 Aprilia RS250 is still on the road or in the scrapheap?

[@chopsythelamb]

Entering the reg (M76 WLG) here vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ shows that it is currently Sorned and has strangely never had an MOT. Perhaps it was crashed and turned into a track bike. Also it's actually a 1995 Aprilia RS250.

[@MrkStphn91]

thank

[@maxterdenge4608]

but what is a suzuki bandit 600 worth today? not as much as this bike

[@fredflintstone9449]

Why on earth music? When rs250 sings ion its own pipes?

[@freddiemynhardt5459]

I love it at the end of the video where you drive past/through those cyclists. Haha!!! 2Stroke vs Green(?) whatever!!! You rule!!!

[@321CatboxWA]

WAY TO DROWN OUT THE SOUND OF THE BIKE WITH SHITTY MUSC!!!!!

[@muntee33]

Wish I had of snapped some of these up 10 years ago when they could be had for $1000AUD
Same goes for the Honda RS
Edit: Honda RS125, 75kg-48HP....
Say no more
Imagine shoe horning the Yamaha Banshee 350cc parallel twin 2 stroke engine into the Triumph 675R frame... (if the countershaft alignment and COG can be made to work.)

[@winstonchurchhill3264]

2 smokers, gain more money than money in the bank .

[@sergillopiscerdan9869]

A MAi...

[@haydo8373]

ugh, why would you do a skid on a sports bike

[@joshdean5867]

A skid 😂😂

[@ericgeorge5483]

Poseurs bike.

[@mutley748916]

The age when you had to listen to naff music instead of the engine sound.
