2006 Aprilia Scarabeo 500 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2006 Aprilia Scarabeo 500 scooter motorcycle, Aprilia relies on a 458 cc (28 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. 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. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Within MotoLibrary's Aprilia archive, this model family spans 9 indexed model years from 2004 to 2012, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
