Aprilia own them at the moment and maybe this is a sign Aprilia is going broke if they are willing to sell.

... maybe this is a sign Aprilia is going broke if they are willing to sell. Aprilia are feeling the pinch - Moto GP is bleeding them dry!

SO long as it dosent go the way that Bimota went :disapint: (which I think that the son of Ducati now owns)

Read this on Aprilia being in financial difficulties. As said by SPman
Therefore, sounds like owner Ivano Beggio must sell something.

OK so Aprilia are blaming the downturn in scooter sales on new helmet laws - that's a bummer for them and would be a hard one to counter.

I have been told that scooters are so popular, because you do not have to
wear a helmet, ok there are other reason's as well.

You don't expect them to get helmet hair do you, mate.
