Good Points: looks awesome for a 50!! sounds alot better than a moped or scooter.
Bad Points: storage. but who cares really
General comments: the aprilia rs 50 is a great bike for any rider. Absoloutly thrashing every moped around, mine is totally standard apart from being de-restricted and does 50-55mph. Just orderd a leo vince performance pipe and going up a tooth or two on the front sprocket. To be honest theres no point getting a "big bore kit" I personaly think that takes the reliability away from the rs.
but top marks for the bike so far.

The bike is a high revving engine and requires a lot of maintenance use fully synthetic oil about £10 a litre if not it wont last as long. To de-restrict this bike you have to remove a pipe, a 4mm pipe in the exhaust it will then do about 50-55mph but if that isn't enough then you can rejet the Carburettor then your looking at 55-60 and if you get an arrow exhaust then it will do 60+ but make sure that a qualified mechanic does this otherwise it can lead to expensive problems.

Great looks and handling. My Aprilia RS 50 has a Arrow pipe, I haven t driven one without it, but it is really fast does 55-60MPH easy.
It also looks great, and handles and feels like a bigger bike, a must.

I had one my self and I got it to run about 190kmph.
My next project is to put a turbo on one of these.
Its very stable on the roads and just great.
So if you buy one of these i can only say enjoy.

Got the Aprilia RS50 about month ago and had it de restricted and an arrow race exhaust and 1 tooth larger front sproket. It flies does about 58-60 even up a slight incline. I have to follow all my mates though as mines to fast and I just loose them, I can over take my mates Piaggio NRG in 4th gear. When I say over take I don't mean crawl past I mean fly! It's brand new and been on the road since Sunday. When its run in I hope to top out at about 65 but it won't be kept at that cos that just kna ...

I have just sold on my Aprilia rs 50. It was a great bike but with an annoying sound. Personally I think these are a great bike for 16 to 17 year olds. They are fast on a straight I got 65mph in fully deristricted form they are great!

Needs alot of maintenance, Often badly looked after as younger riders purchase this bike, The bike is often ridden at its full speed capacity and this puts a lot of strain on the engine

Very nice, comfy bike, amazing fuel economy (upwards of 60 mpg) handles like a bigger bike and goes like on too if you de-restrict it.
Best bike you can buy as a first bike, but make sure you are sensible as it doesn't go like a scooter.

I was really looking forward to love the bike to bits as it is my dream bike it's powerful for it's size and set off power was ok but i would say it as i have been riding a 125 4 stroke off road bike for a year i am not disappointed with the Aprilia RS50, it's a good bike so i would get on if you can afford to buy one

My Aprilia RS50 49 went 75+ and I had 90 out of it. They fly past all peds but they have a good race against a Derbi GPR and a Derbi Supermoto. The Supermotos fly! I also had an Aprilia SR Trore Corsa and it would do all peds and rest of the mark, it was amazing but it topped out at 60.

The Aprilia RS50 49 is a 16 year old's dream bike! It quite definitely looks the part but as for performance and sound it is still obvious that it is only a 50. The bike itself is very good, very easy to chuck around and the wheels offer enough grip to get your knee down in the dry. Something I did not expect from the RS50 is its incredibly light clutch which makes town commuting a doddle.
Something that I will share with anyone who is going to or has a new RS50 is not to bother modifying it. ...

I got my Aprilia RS50 49 for my 16th birthday. I had to spend £280 to get it road legal but now it is and I love it to bits. It flies past any moped and I have to wait for 5 minutes at the end of the dual carriageway for my mates to catch up. Mine generally tops out at 60mph but I had it at 70mph, but that was only once and very rare. All I have done is de-restricted the engine and put on a race exhaust.

The Aprilia RS50 does look good and I get a lot of thumbs up from all kinds and ages of people, but this little 50cc Aprilia RS50 motorbike has given Aprilia a bad name which I intend to spread around as I felt victimized from the day I spent too much money on this brand new motor bike.
The sixth gear slips out of gear way too often and is miserably difficult to get it in. Bringing it back to two different Aprilia dealers in the San Francisco Bay Area did nothing to correct this problem an ...

This Aprilia RS50 looks great and it goes like a pocket rocket, mine does 0 - 60mph in under 10 seconds. Mine reaches a top speed of about 65mph. Which is really fast for a 50cc. When you are changing through the 6 gears it sounds amazing, the acceleration is amazing. It feels like it is going to rip your face off, don't worry it doesn't but be warned the acceleration is quick. The changes I have made are a 70cc bore kit, a racing exhaust and new clutch rollers.

I had a Aprilia RS50 for a little time and it was very good for dusting people on scooters and for busting traffic in town. This little bike has fun written all over it and it is the best thing to turn up at school on. Chicks loved it. My bike I brought second hand and it had already been tuned and had a sport exhaust fitted. It had a top speed of around 65-70mph. I think this is the best bike to buy when you are 16 as it has the look and feel of a bigger bike. Top marks for the RS50 spot on.

The Aprilia RS50 has to be one of (If not) the BEST looking sports 50cc bikes on the market. It obviously shares the looks of its bigger Aprilia brother, the RS125. The dimensions are fairly similar to the 125, though the 50 is shod with skinny wheels, and tyres. Its presence on the road is of a much bigger biker, and nobody generally realises that the bike is only a 50cc. The only giveaway is the sound from the tiny two stroke motor. I had a full moped licence riding this(so I didn't need the ' ...

I bought the Aprilia RS50 4 months ago, it is the fastest bike I have ever ridden. I have recently bought a big bore kit for it, and it absolutely thrashes all my mates peds. They still dont understand why it is so fast. It is easy to ride, it has 6 gears, which makes it the fastest 50 anyway! The best bike for any 16 yr old!
