Built around Aprilia's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2002 Aprilia Moto 6.5 pairs a 649 cc (39.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 82.7 mm (3.9 x 3.3 inches) with a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Moto 6.5 measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
