The name aprilia now needs little introduction, three World Superbike manufacturer title wins in four years has taken care of that. From humble beginnings as a manufacturer of bicycles and then later, scooters and mopeds, aprilia has grown to be the jewel in the crown of the Piaggio group, with a reputation and proven history for building fast and exciting sports bikes for the road, which closely mirror their Superbikes from the track. Founded in 1945 by Albero Beggio, aprilia represents the very soul of the Italian motorcycle industry, its dedication to performance through engineering superiority is unmatched. Racing success has come in all classes for this world beating act, with titles in MotoGP 125cc, 250cc and 1000cc classes, the aprilia factory now has over 50 manufacturer and rider titles - an incredible feat for a comparatively small manufacturer.

On the amazing journey from scooters to superbikes, aprilia has made legendary racing machines work on the road, the RS125 and RS250 much adored the world over for their incredible sharp and precise handling, the SXV450 and SXV550, storming V-Twin Supermoto's, and the SRV850 - the most powerful scooter ever sold. But beyond wild race bikes for the road, the path less travelled has also been well catered to, with the unstoppable Caponord adventure bike, and its smaller relative the Pegaso - both machines capable of taking on a wide range of duties regardless of terrain.
