It's a cool looking replica! I wonder if it's street plated?

Might be a really cool bike if you could ever get a US title & plates.

That is sweet, I never noticed that RS50s had single sided swingarms.

Yes, they are. From what I understand this RS50 was imported from Italy, not one that was sold here in the US. For that reason, I assume it will present some problems @ the dmv. I dont claim to know every thing.....
Just my thoughts.
If Im not mistaken the US version has a double sided swing arm. (may have just been the later ones.) But Im not a Aprilia expert, so dont quote me..

Possibly the swing arm is after market?
I checked the spec's & it states "Double member swing-arm in high strength steel with hydraulic monoshock."

All pre 98 RS50s come with a single sided swingarm. They changed it to the std arm in 99.

this RS cannot be plated..Wrong amount of Vin #'s..It throws up a red flag instantly on DMV screen.. :(
