	Aprilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aprilia started as a scooter manufacturer, but has more recently come to be known for its race-winning sportsbikes.
		Aprilia rider Philippe Berlatier contended for the trials world championship reaching fifth place, and Loris Reggiani rode an Aprilia GP 250 with Rotax engine to sixth place in the road racing World Championship.
		Aprilia continued this trend, taking advantage of lighter minimum weights with the introduction of their RS3 MotoGP bike - featuring three cylinders in an Inline triple layout, the bike had the least number of cylinders on the Grand Prix paddock.

	Aprilia Design Engineer, Klaus Nennewitz: The MD Interview
		What I see with Aprilia is some guys getting together at a restaurant, talking about a new design, maybe ideas for a new motorcycle.
		The design part of it was pretty challenging, but apart from that -- the bike was a nice project and we won also the motorcycle of the year in Germany in 1999 in the touring segment.
		KN: Well, it was about time for Aprilia to enter into the naked bike segments, and we'd been thinking about that for a long time, but we were just too busy doing other projects so we couldn't do everything together in the same period.

	Aprilia SR 50 DiTech Factory Scooter 2005
		The Aprilia SR 50 scooter was originally introduced in 1992 and since then Aprilia have sold an impressive 800,000 units.
		The Aprilia SR 50 Factory is a complete redesign with aesthetics borrowed from the 2005 RSV 1000 R Factory, a new frame, a new motor and the most advanced electronics ever seen on a scooter.
		The steel frame is a new more rigid design and the weight distribution has been brought forward to a 2% more bias over the front wheel which, together with the 13" wheels and low profile 130/60 tyres, results in a shift to a more sport motorcycle type riding experience.
