Aprilia, an Italian motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1945 in Noale, Italy, originally began as a bicycle production company before transitioning to motorcycles in 1968 under Ivano Beggio's leadership. Known for its innovation, Aprilia gained prominence with mopeds like the Scarabeo and later expanded into producing road, enduro, and sport bikes. Its breakthrough came with the 1998 RSV Mille, a 1000cc superbike, establishing its presence in the large sportbike market. Acquired by the Piaggio Group in 2004, Aprilia has a rich racing heritage, boasting numerous victories and world championships in 125cc, 250cc, and other categories, making it the most successful motorcycle racing brand in history by 2010. Today, Aprilia remains a key player in the motorcycling world, known for high-performance bikes and cutting-edge designs.
