Built around Aprilia's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2006 Aprilia Atlantic 500 Sprint utilizes a 460 cc (28.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 36.9 HP (26.9 kW) at 6,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 42 Nm (31 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 80.2 HP per liter and a 750 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (6,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Aprilia archive, this model family spans 4 indexed model years from 2006 to 2009, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
