Phillipe Starck is a well-known French product designer and motorcycle enthusiast. In the mid 90’s, he combined those two facets to design the Aprilia Moto 6.5, an in-town runabout that oozes style – the question is, is the kind of style you like?
Visordown summed this bike up better than I ever could:
Pros: Exclusivity. You will never, ever, see another on the road.
Cons: There is a reason you won’t see any on the road, they are crap.
If you’re looking for exclusivity, it’d be tough to top this. Never officially brought to the US, this bike features a 649cc engine that produces 42 horsepower. To oversimplify, you could consider it to be a BMW F650/Aprilia Pegaso without any dual-sporting pretensions. Pleasantly, weight was low at just 330 pounds.
This specific Aprilia Moto 6.5 is in the orange/silver paint scheme and has 10,300 miles.
Find this Aprilia Moto 6.5 for sale here on Craigslist in Cocoa, Florida for…I don’t know. It might be $7,799 based on some wording in the ad? Sorry – you know I avoid featuring bikes for sale without a listed price but when it’s this rare I figure it’s still worth sharing.
