After 8 minutes: WHAT SAID IVANO BEGGIO SAYING ABOUT THE MOTO 6.5;

Talking about the Aprilia Moto 6.5, the Moto has been, how to say, my own personal idea.
I did meet Philippe Starck, who is one of the great designers in the world.
Still alive and at that time (1992) he was a young 40 years old.
Already successful at the time, but not as big as he is now,
We asked him if he would have liked to design a motorbike.
Philippe was passionate about bikes, so it felt like we done him a favour!
The Moto had a huge communication succes worldwide.
We had incredible request!
But mass production took long time and the Moto arrived on the market one year later.
Maybe too late and most of the excitement about te Moto was diminished.
We sold a limited number of 7000 bikes.
But I believe everyone of those have gained value and will even more in the future!
Moto present in every museum worldwide.
Like a work of art.
But if I could go back at that time, maybe I would have used different kind of engine.
At time we didn’t have the resources to create an engine with automatic gearbox with a strong acceleration.
It would have helped, but I am happy with the production of the Moto.
I own one myself.
I ride the Moto a lot.
But why creating the Moto?
Maybe it was an ambitious dream.
Philippe and I wanted to create an European bike.
In the States there was Harley and Davidson.
They had success, but it was an American bike.
But our dream was to create an European bike!
Probably Europeans preferred more powerful motorbikes.
More aggressive and sporty.
See the example of success of the Aprilia Tuono and the Ducati Monster.
They wanted more powerful and agresive motorcycles.
Different clientele from the Americans.
We dramt of a ‘gentle’ European bike with looked different from the mass.
And nowadays still a work of art!
I still like it today.
It has no time.
It is a bike with no time.
This has been one of the many journeys of my life and the Aprilia’s life.
Trying to innovate all the time, product, design and everything els.
Disign Philippe Starck
