Aprilia
Moto 6.5

The Aprilia Moto 6.5 is a distinctive motorcycle introduced in the mid-1990s, notable for its unconventional design by renowned French industrial designer Philippe Starck. Commissioned by the Italian manufacturer Aprilia, the Moto 6.5 was envisioned as a stylish urban commuter that blended artistic flair with everyday functionality.

Unveiled in 1994 and entering production in 1995, the Moto 6.5 featured a 649cc single-cylinder Rotax engine, the same engine used in Aprilia’s Pegaso 650. This engine produced approximately 42 horsepower and was housed within a unique tubular steel frame. The motorcycle’s design emphasized smooth, flowing lines and integrated components, resulting in a minimalist aesthetic that set it apart from contemporaries. Notably, the exhaust system was innovatively routed beneath the engine, contributing to its distinctive appearance.

Over time, the Aprilia Moto 6.5 has garnered a cult following and is now considered a design icon. Its unique aesthetics have earned it a place in modern design museums, and it remains a subject of interest among motorcycle enthusiasts and collectors.
