About Aprilia

Aprilia’s journey from a post-war bicycle manufacturer in Noale, Italy, to a global racing titan is one of the most remarkable stories in motorcycling history. Founded in 1945, the company transitioned to motorcycles in the 1960s, but it was the 1980s and 90s that solidified its reputation. Aprilia dominated the lightweight GP classes, serving as the training ground for legends like Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi. This racing DNA is directly infused into their production bikes, making them some of the most technologically advanced machines on the market.

The brand is synonymous with the V4 engine configuration. The Aprilia RSV4, introduced in 2009, revolutionized the superbike segment with its incredibly compact 65-degree V4 engine and a chassis that offered near-limitless adjustability. Its sibling, the Tuono V4, is widely regarded as one of the finest "super-nakeds" ever built, stripping away the fairings without sacrificing the elite performance of the flagship sportbike. Beyond the litre-class, Aprilia has redefined the middleweight category with the RS 660 and Tuareg 660, proving that sophisticated electronics like the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) suite can enhance every level of riding. From early two-stroke RS125s to the latest MotoGP-derived RS-GP replicas, this database offers exhaustive technical specs, torque curves, and geometry details for every Aprilia model.
