Produced until the end of the 1970s, the Scarabeo came in 50 and 125 cc versions.,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-12-22 |title=#bearacer club |url=https://bearacerclub.aprilia.com/en/aprilia-world/history/aprilia-pegaso-the-flying-mythos/ |access-date=2023-12-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231222201711/https://bearacerclub.aprilia.com/en/aprilia-world/history/aprilia-pegaso-the-flying-mythos/ |archive-date=22 December 2023 }}</ref> was founded after [[Second World War|World War II]] by Cavaliere Alberto Beggio as a bicycle production factory. 

In 1977, Ivan Alborghetti from [[Milan]], Italy won the Italian 125 and 250 cc motocross championships on Aprilia motorcycles. In 1978, Alborghetti closed the season with two third places in individual races and sixth place in the World Championship. In the 1980s, Aprilia added enduro, trials and road bikes of between 50 and 600 cc and in 1981, Aprilia introduced the TL320 trials machine. In 1983, Aprilia launched the St 125 road bike and in 1984, they launched an improved model called STX as well as an enduro, called the ET 50.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aprilia ET50 Rv4-3 LC |url=https://www.mopedarmy.com/forums/read.php?2,4631357 |access-date=2024-09-20 |website=www.mopedarmy.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Remarkable History of Aprilia |url=https://www.vikingbags.com/blogs/news/the-remarkable-history-of-aprilia |access-date=2024-01-18 |website=Viking Bags |language=en}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=January 2024|reason=not a reliable source (WP:RS), added by a novice editor}}

In 1985, Aprilia started outsourcing engines for some models to the Austrian company [[Rotax]]. In 1985 Aprilia launched a 125 STX and 350 STX. In 1986, Aprilia launched the AF1, a small sports model; and the Tuareg, a large tanked bike for African rallies like the [[Dakar Rally]]. Aprilia factory rider Philippe Berlatier contended for the trials world championship reaching fifth place, and [[Loris Reggiani]] rode an Aprilia GP 250 with Rotax engine to sixth place in the road racing World Championship. Two seasons later, on August 30, 1987, at [[San Marino Grand Prix]] in Misano Loris Reggiani's AF1 won the first World Speed Championship.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=THE HISTORY OF APRILIA |url=https://press.piaggiogroup.com/en_EN/post/show/146743/the-history-of-aprilia.html |access-date=2024-10-21 |website=press.piaggiogroup.com |language=en}}</ref>

In 1990, Aprilia launched the Pegaso 600, a road bike derived from off-road mechanics. Later, in 1992 Aprilia rider [[Alessandro Gramigni]] won the World 125 Road Racing Championship title. Also in 1992, Tommy Ahvala won the [[World Trials Championship]] on an Aprilia Climber. Since then, Aprilia has 124 times won 125 and 250 cc class Grand Prix, 15 Road Racing World Championship titles, and 16 European speed titles. Many world champions started on Aprilia such as [[Max Biaggi|Biaggi]], [[Loris Capirossi|Capirossi]], [[Gramigni]], Locatelli, Sakata and [[Valentino Rossi|Rossi]].<ref name=":0" />

In 1995, Aprilia commissioned [[Philippe Starck]] to design the Motò 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 1999, Aprilia entered World Superbike Championship racing with its RSV Mille, and during 2000, Aprilia acquired Moto-Guzzi and Laverda, both historic heritage Italian marques.
