The Aprilia Moto 6.5 was a touring motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia from 1995 to 2002. It was presented in the autumn of 1994 in Bologna and was designed by the French designer Philippe Starck.
In 1996, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Aprilia Moto 6.5, a motorcycle that featured one of the most unique designs from the House of Noale with the signature of the renowned architect and designer Philippe Starck.
The 1996 model was in its second year of production and featured the same package as the previous one, delivering the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without significant modifications.
In the visual department, the bike featured curvy lines and packed standard features such as a round headlight, a one-piece dual seat, a single exhaust system with the exhaust pipe mounted on the left side, road tires, and wire-spoke wheels.
As for power, the 1996 Aprilia Moto 6.5 had its soul brought to life by a 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a 40 mm Mikuni carburetor, boasting 43 hp at 7,000 rpm and 53 Nm (39 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
It was manufactured around a steel frame and packed a suspension system comprised of a 41 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Marzocchi shock absorber on the rear.
