Aprilia motorcycle

Aprilia is an iconic Italian motorcycle manufacturer that started as a bicycle factory post-WWII before evolving into one of the most successful racing and performance brands in the world. Founded by Alberto Beggio in Noale, Italy, the brand gained international fame through its dominance in the 125cc and 250cc Grand Prix classes. Aprilia is renowned for its high-performance engines and advanced chassis technology, particularly in models like the RS and RSV4 series.

In 2004, Aprilia was acquired by the Piaggio Group, which consolidated its position as a major player in the global two-wheeler market. Today, Aprilia continues to design and manufacture its premium motorcycles primarily in its historic headquarters in Noale and the production plant in Scorzè, Italy. As part of the Piaggio Group, Aprilia benefits from the industrial scale of one of the world's largest vehicle manufacturers while maintaining its distinct Italian racing DNA.
