Cheap Aprilia at Pugh auction
« on: November 17, 2024, 12:34:27 PM »
£1,800 hammer price.... I know these Starck designed bikes are marmite and personally I think they're pretty ugly but a cheap thumper nonetheless.

Yes, I must agree with you Ian, i too find them pretty ugly. Like you say though decent, cheap’ish thumper for someone. What engine did they use. Dies anyone out there in TC know. Was it a rotax?

Pretty much the same I think Ian, though given a cosmetic makeover to reproduce the air cooled vibe!
