An extraordinary opportunity has arisen for motorcycle collectors and MotoGP fans: the official Aprilia RS-GP driven by Aleix Espargaro in the 2020 MotoGP season is now on the market for around €300,000. This rare sale represents one of the few opportunities to own a genuine factory MotoGP prototype, machines usually zealously preserved by manufacturers to protect their technical innovations.
Priced at £250,000 (about €293,000), this RS-GP is more than just a race bike. It marks an important chapter in Aprilia’s recent MotoGP history. Despite no podium finishes for the Italian manufacturer in the 2020 campaign, the season marked a technical renaissance. Under the precise guidance of rider-developer Aleix Espargaro, Aprilia redesigned the RS-GP with a completely redesigned engine, revised aerodynamics and a significantly reworked chassis. These fundamental developments set the stage for successful performances in 2021, when Espargaro won Aprilia’s first modern-era podium at Silverstone.
This machine is not simply an artifact of past results, but a cornerstone of Aprilia’s evolution from a struggling outsider to a consistent front runner. Current Aprilia MotoGP riders, Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi, pilot models that are direct descendants of the technical blueprint of the 2020 RS-GP. For collectors, this bike is a landmark symbol of Aprilia’s strategic leap into the premier segment.
The sales package is equally attractive, including Aleix Espargaro’s complete 2020 racing gear: official KYT helmet, Ixon Racing suit, gloves and Alpinestars shoes. Such provenance adds to the attractiveness of this machine for enthusiasts who value authenticity and heritage.
Offered by the UK’s 3D Moto Ltd, a company with over 30 years of expertise in classic motorcycle sales, this RS-GP is purely a track and exhibition piece, non-homologated for road use. Its new owner will enjoy the prestige of displaying genuine MotoGP factory prototypes at major international events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed or other elite historic motorsport celebrations.
Although the price may seem steep, the rarity of factory MotoGP machines on the private market justifies the investment. These bikes rarely leave the manufacturer’s custody, making this Aprilia RS-GP a truly exceptional acquisition.
In short, this isn’t just a motorcycle for sale – it’s a solid piece of MotoGP history that chronicles Aprilia’s resurgence as a reliable and competitive force. For collectors, owning this RS-GP means owning a seminal artwork that embodies the technical and competitive breakthroughs that have led to Aprilia’s current success.
