Built around Aprilia's sport motorcycle platform, the 2002 Aprilia RS 50 relies on a 49.7 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.3 x 39.0 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the RS 50 measures 89 kg (196 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.2-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
