I've watched the news about Aprilia for awhile now. The Piaggio Group does indeed seem serious about building great bikes and hopefully with them, a supporting infrastructure. With the acquisition of Moto Guzzi, most bike categories are covered. Obviously, Aprilia is the sports bike arm. I can hardly wait to see if the United States embraces the marque. Gilera has the potential to steal the retro market. I'd like nothing better than something to ride that looked as if it came from the 1950s but had modern mechanicals and electrics. Of course, that means dumping the scooter line.
