hey guys, just wondering if this bike is worth £800 as it is an old bike, it has had a engine rebuild less than 200miles ago (dont know wether it was the top or bottem which was rebuilt) and it only has 3000km on the clock, only thing i need to do it is buy a new indercater switch, i bought it the other day for my 17th birthday which has gone now, can everyone leave a reply an tell me what you think and/or any questions about it. here are some links to look at the bike, sorry i used bebo, i dont have the pictures uploaded on any other website.

Hi Elvin and welcome.
Looked at your pictures - it looks like a tidy bike.
Unfortunately I don't have so much knowledge of Aprilia 2-strokes (other than my son's Sonic scooter) .... though I do fancy an RS250 to go alongside the Falco.
I think if it proves reliable and you have fun on it, then that's all good

It looks a fun machine, but I know even less about them than D-Rider.
I'm sure you'll get your money's worth out of it.

Like they said, looks pretty good and if the engine has been rebuilt should all be good.
Keep on top of the
2 stroke oil and learn how to rebuild the barrel yourself to save a few quid. It's not that difficult.

Welcome Elvin - looks clean and tidy. Learn as you go along. I don't know how much 2 stroke knowledge there is on here but lots of friendly advice in general. Prilla are a bit addictive though - be warned

Forget the NSR. The RS is quicker, and maintainance is easy, dont trust the horror stories you hear about aprilias - they're just as reliable, parts are easy to get hold of as they still make them
