| Re: Aprilia RS50 I have a 22 month old daughter and a baby on the way. I am allowed to say cute.  I can occasionally say precious as well. |

| Re: Aprilia RS50 For that price it would be a hoot on the road. And it looks like it might be street legal? |

They are cool 6.1HP stock mine has been 99% race built, only thing left stock on the motor are the crankcase sides so mine has 12.5hp  Fun and unique, draws more attention than any bike I have ever seen so far.

| Re: Aprilia RS50 Ive got one that I ride as a street bike these days. It keeps me out of trouble and is a blast to ride around on. Ive never checked on the mileage but mine will do 86mph and I would guess it gets better than 50mpg. |
