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.
This Moto 6. 5 is presented in what has been described to us as ‘fair to good condition and in running order’. With a current MOT, the Northern Irish registration ‘JEZ 4730’ is transferable and potentially valued at a few hundred pounds. Previously owned by a freelance journalist for MCN, who is said to have taken good care of it, there have only been 2 former keepers (shown on V5C) and a low recorded mileage.
