Have a read over this page on bikez.com for the spec believe it is pretty much the same for all years but you can see the exact spec for the other years by just going to the appropriate year RS250 link on the Aprilia page.

Personal views on it, it's a nice little 250 two stroke, if you're after something of a small capacity which can be thrahed on the roads without being at daft speed (well less so than on a litre bike ), there are people on here who have them so will be able to say much more about it. What are you considering getting on and using it for?

0 - 60 in 4.3 seconds, nice

As ste said

I raced a 2000 model (some pix on the link below). Perfect for use on track, although I would never buy one for the road.
