In 1997, the Italian bike maker introduced the Aprilia Moto 6.5, a tourer motorcycle in its second year of production. The bike had one of the most unique designs from the House of Noale, wearing Philippe Starck's signature.

The 1997 Moto 6.5 motorcycle was identical to previous models, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

Aesthetically, the bike had curvy lines and was fitted with 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.

It was built around a steel frame and softened by a 41 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Marzocchi shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the power figures, the 1997 Aprilia Moto 6.5 boasted 43 hp with maximum strength at 7,000 rpm and 53 Nm (39 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm, coming from a 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by a 40 mm Mikuni carburetor.

The engine's power was converted into motion by a five-speed manual transmission and sent to the rear wheel via a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 150 kph (93 mph).
