Widely recognised as a motorcycling design icon, the Aprilia Moto 6.5 was created by Philippe Starck, the famous French industrial designer whose portfolio ranges from wind turbines to lemon squeezers, which perhaps explains its passing resemblance to one of his kitchen appliances. Introduced in 1995, the Moto 6.5 was powered by the Aprilia Pegaso's five-valve single, which went into a curvaceous bespoke frame. With 42bhp on tap, a low seat and weighing a mere 150kg (331lb) Starck's Moto 6.5 effectively fulfilled Aprilia's brief to produce a chic and user-friendly urban roadster. Production ceased in 2002.

Our vendor has owned this Moto 6.5 for the last three years but has never used it. Recommissioning will be required before further use. Unfortunately, there is no more information available. Offered without documents.
