Engineered by Aprilia for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2006 Aprilia Scarabeo 500 GT ABS pairs a 460 cc (28.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 92.0 x 69.0 mm (3.6 x 2.7 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,605 mm (63.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
