Aprilia approached famous French designer Phillipe Starck to envisage a city bike that would appeal to bikers and non-bikers alike. Based on their Pegaso trail bike, the 650cc Rotax engine was slightly detuned for the city and fitted to Starck’s striking smooth panels and curvy reinvention of a motorcycle frame. Introduced in 1995, the limited edition machine was produced for only two years. In 1999. however, the machine was briefly put back into production, before being dropped once more, in 2002.
Purchased by the current owner as new, in 1997 and since that time, it has seen very little use. A very original machine with some light signs of use, it is offered with a current V5C and the old Bikerama, London, purchase receipt with the handbooks. Having not been used since the end of last year, light recommissioning will be required before use.
