The Aprilia Moto 6.5 was a touring motorcycle produced by the Italian maker Aprilia from 1995 to 2002. The bike was presented in the autumn of 1994 in Bologna and was designed by the French designer Philippe Starck.
The motorcycle was powered by a 650cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, which was already used on the Aprilia Pegaso 650 travel enduro model. The engine had three intake and two exhaust valves, a balancer shaft for less vibrations, and a 16-liter plastic fuel tank.
In 2001, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Aprilia Moto 6.5, a naked motorcycle with arguably one of the most unique designs from the House of Noale, wearing the signature of the renowned French designer Philippe Starck.
In the visual department, the bike was characterized by standard fittings, like wire-spoke wheels, road tires, a single exhaust system with the exhaust pipe mounted on the left side, a one-piece dual seat, and a round headlight upfront.
The bike packed a 41 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Marzocchi shock absorber on the rear, providing optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.
As for power, the 2001 Aprilia Moto 6.5 had installed a 652cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine at its core, delivering an output power of 43 hp at 7,000 rpm and 53 Nm (39 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
