=== Scooters === In the 1990s, Aprilia entered the scooter market starting in 1990 with Italy's first all-plastic scooter, the Amico. In 1992, Aprilia introduced the Amico LK and the two stroke Pegaso 125, both with [[catalytic converter]]s. In 1993, Aprilia launched a large diameter wheel scooter reusing the name Scarabeo with a four-stroke, four-valve engine. Later, Aprilia launched more scooters such as the Leonardo, the SR and the Gulliver.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}} In 1995, Aprilia commissioned [[Philippe Starck]] to design the MotΓ² which was shown in [[New York's Modern Art Museum]]. Also in 1995, Aprilia launched the [[two stroke]] RS 125 and RS 250 sports bikes. In 1998, Aprilia launched the [[Aprilia RSV Mille|RSV Mille]], a 1000cc [[V-twin engine|V-Twin]] Superbike, and the [[Aprilia SL1000 Falco|Falco]], a 1000cc V-Twin [[Sport touring|sport tourer]] with emphasis on sport. Both bikes used a variation of a [[Rotax]] 1000cc engine.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}} In 2000, Aprilia launched the 50 cc DiTech (Direct Injection Technology) two stroke engine for scooters which provides high mileage and low emissions, and also the [[Aprilia Futura|RST Futura]], a sport tourer, and the ETV 1000 Caponord; an [[adventure touring]] motorcycle. Both of these latter two motorcycles used a variation of the Rotax 1000 cc V-Twin.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}} Most recently, in 2003, Aprilia launched the [[Aprilia Tuono|RSV Mille Tuono]] which was essentially an RSV Mille with motocross-style high handlebars and only a small headlight fairing. Most of the major motorcycle magazines picked it for the best bike of the year.
