A really cool video, I'd say more or less in response to BMW's cloth-from-the-table-pulling video, from Aprilia.

In this funny video, you see an Aprilia RSV4 motorcycle painting! Honest, it's painting. Have a look.

Funny "TV" ad for Aprilia, for the RS250 motorcycle.

However, it's not a real ad, nor is it from Aprilia. It's for a Dutch school as a project.

Very good idea and execution, better than many ad agencies.

The new blockbuster movie, Knight and Day, with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz riding on a Ducati Hypermotard motorcycle is a .... FAKE!

Not the movie, nor Diaz or Cruise, but the Ducati is a fake. The Ducati is in fact an Aprilia SXV550 motorcycle, since the Ducati is too fragile for stunts, so the producers replaced it with a disguised Aprilia....

Turn of Aprilia motorcycles and their worldwide advertisements...

Problem was that there are very few ads out there, and all of them are made in Italy and then used in other countries.

Either Piaggio is hiding Aprilia from PR, or they hide their ads, or everyone knows the Italian motorcycle manufacturer.. and don't need no ads.

Anyway, here are 12 Aprilia motorcycle ads.

Christmas gift ideas for Aprilia motorcycle owners (or aficionados).

Aprilia is not into merchandising, but I did manage to find a few things.

Our friends at Hell For Leather Magazine have organized a real art exhibit (ie not an internet one), called Stop/Action, in New York.

Until October 11th, you can see Aprilia motorcycle positioned in such a way as they would appear in a movie film; panel-by-panel.

So if you're in New York, head over to the art gallery and have a look. It must be interesting, since it's a novel idea.

A TV ad dating back to 1997, building on Aprilia's MotoGP world championship motorcycles, the 125 and 250 Replica.

Of course, they throw in the 50 Replica... Replica of what?

Christmas 2008 Ideas

After all the festivities around Christmas, you'll need exercise. What better way than going on the basket ball court for a bit of one-on-one with an Aprilia branded basket ball??

Aprilia's conference was impossible to get to, even after the event, the small stand was jammed with staff and dealers.

I managed to capture a photo of one VIP, and here's a special edition RSV...

More hopefully tomorrow....

Here's a promotional ad from Aprilia for their RSV 1000 R motorcycle.

Modern and artsy...
