At the beginning of February, 2023, enthusiasts in the extremely motorcycle-happy country of India spotted what appeared to be a small-displacement Aprilia test mule on the outskirts of Baramati, in the state of Maharashtra. That location makes all the sense in the world, as the company has a factory located in Baramati.
While speculation about what this bike could be immediately abounded, Indian publication Autocar Professional spoke to sources that had plenty to say about what we were seeing in those photos and videos that made the rounds on social media. Apparently, the bike is being referred to as the Aprilia RS 440, and production is planned to start in September, 2023.
