Aprilia Racing is a motorcycle racing factory team of competing in the MotoGP World Championship owned by Aprilia, subsequently by the Piaggio Group.{{Cite web |last=newspaper |date=2005-01-06 |title=Piaggio Acquisition Of Aprilia Creates Fourth-largest Motorcycle Company In The World |url=https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/piaggio-acquisition-of-aprilia-creates-fourth-largest-motorcycle-company-in-the-world/ |access-date=2025-02-07 |website=Roadracing World Magazine {{!}} Motorcycle Riding, Racing & Tech News |language=en-US}}
History
Despite being a relatively small company by global motorcycling standards, Aprilia is very active in motorcycle sports. It contested many Road Racing formulae, including the now-defunct 125 cc, 250 cc and 500 cc Grand Prix classes of the FIM World Championship. From 2002 to 2004, they participated in the FIM MotoGP World Championship, and from 1999 to 2002, they participated in the FIM Superbike World Championship. Aprilia has returned to World Superbike since the 2009 season and in MotoGP since the 2012 season.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}
Aprilia also feature in the off-road racing world, with their 450 cc V-2 motocrosser producing respectable results (including race wins) in both off-road (Motocross) and on-road (Supermoto) categories.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}
Aprilia made their international racing debut in the Motocross World Championship competing in the 125cc class from 1976 until 1981 with a best result being a fifth place in the 1979 season with rider Corrado Maddi.{{cite web |url=http://www.memotocross.fr/maison/chambres/index.php#0440929e3e0cfa101 |title=1979 125cc motocross world championship final standings |publisher=memotocross.fr |access-date=3 February 2016 }} The firm then focused on the Grand Prix road racing world championships in 1985 and since then it has seen varying successes. Aprilia won their first world championship race at the 1991 Czechoslovak motorcycle Grand Prix with rider Alessandro Gramigni winning the 125cc race. In {{MGP|1992}}, they won their first road racing world championship with Gramigni winning the 125cc class. They continued to be successful in the smaller displacement categories, winning numerous races and championships in the 125 cc and 250 cc Grand Prix classes.
However, their 500 cc Grand Prix bikes failed to attain the same success. They began campaigning in the 500cc class in 1994 with a 250 V twin motor enlarged to 380cc in hopes of using its lighter weight and nimble handling as an advantage against the heavier, V4 engine bikes used by the competition. The bike eventually displaced 430cc and had its best result with a third place by rider Doriano Romboni at the 1997 Dutch TT but, could never overcome power disadvantage during the starting line sprint and was withdrawn at the end of the {{MGP|1997}} season for further development. Their first MotoGP effort, dubbed the RS Cube, was technically advanced but difficult to ride and performed poorly in the championship. The Cube did, however, pioneer many advanced technologies including ride by wire throttle and pneumatic valve actuation systems. Aprilia left the MotoGP class at the end of {{MGP|2004}} and then left the lower classes when two-stroke engines were banned. Aprilia set the record for the most points earned by a manufacturer in a single season from the 125cc class with 410 points in {{MGP|2007}}. It was also the highest points earned by a constructor in Grand Prix motorcycle racing's history until {{MGP|2011}} when 420 points were won by the same bikes winning 16 out of 17 races.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}
The company is also notable for choosing atypical engine configurations. For example, they progressed with development of a V-2 500 cc Grand Prix bike when other teams were moving to V-4 configurations for what some believed was better and more usable power outputs. Aprilia continued this trend, taking advantage of lighter minimum weights with the introduction of their RS Cube MotoGP bike – featuring three cylinders in an inline triple layout, the bike had the fewest cylinders on the Grand Prix paddock.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}
Aprilia rejoined the MotoGP class in {{MGP|2012}}, taking advantage of the newly introduced Claiming Rule Team category that encouraged independent teams with lower budgets to use bikes from manufacturers not officially involved in MotoGP. Aprilia supplied RSV4 SBK-derived bikes under the ART (Aprilia Racing Technology) name to Aspar Team, Paul Bird Motorsport and Speed Master teams. In both the {{MGP|2012}} and {{MGP|2013}} seasons Aprilia's ART machinery stood out as the best CRT bikes.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}
In {{MGP|2015}}, Aprilia partnered with Gresini Racing as a factory-supported independent team. The team competed as the Aprilia Racing Team Gresini with an all-new 1000cc V4-engined RS-GP.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}
In {{MGP|2022}}, Aprilia entered the series as an official factory team for the first time since 2004.{{Cite web|last=McLaren|first=Peter|date=29 April 2021|title=Official: Aprilia gets Factory grid places for MotoGP 2022|url=https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/976219/1/official-aprilia-gets-factory-grid-places-motogp-2022|url-status=live|access-date=20 May 2021|website=Crash.net|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210429113714/https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/976219/1/official-aprilia-gets-factory-grid-places-motogp-2022 |archive-date=2021-04-29 }} Their previously supported Gresini Racing team returned to a fully-independent team using Ducati bikes. Aprilia's factory team is named Aprilia Racing.

Aprilia entered the Grand Prix road racing world championships in 1985 and since then it has seen varying successes.
On 15 August 2010, Aprilia became the most successful motorcycle racing brand in history, surpassing fellow Italian MV Agusta with a record 276th victory.{{cite web |date=2010-08-18 |title=Aprilia celebrates record GP win {{pipe}} MotoGP News {{pipe}} Aug 2010 |url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/162486/1/aprilia_celebrates_record_gp_win.html |access-date=2011-06-02 |publisher=Crash.Net}}

= History =
Aprilia won their first world championship race at the 1991 Czechoslovak motorcycle Grand Prix with rider Alessandro Gramigni winning the 125cc race.
In {{MGP|1992}}, they won their first road racing world championship with Gramigni winning the 125cc class.
Aprilia set the record for the most points earned by a manufacturer in a single season from the 125cc class with 410 points in {{MGP|2007}}.
It was also the highest points earned by a constructor in Grand Prix motorcycle racing's history until {{MGP|2011}} when 420 points were won by the same bikes winning 16 out of 17 races.

Innovations
Aprilia is notable for choosing atypical engine configurations{{cite web |last=Oxley |first=Mat |title=How Aprilia finally made it to the top of MotoGP |website=Motor Sport Magazine |date=April 4, 2022 |url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/how-aprilia-finally-made-it-to-the-top-of-motogp/ |access-date=February 7, 2024}} for their racing bikes.
For example, they progressed with development of a V-2 500 cc Grand Prix bike when other teams were moving to V-4 configurations for what some believed was better and more usable power outputs.
Aprilia continued this trend, taking advantage of lighter minimum weights with the introduction of their RS Cube MotoGP bike which features three cylinders in an inline triple layout, the bike had the fewest cylinders on the Grand Prix paddock.
It also pioneered many advanced technologies including ride by wire throttle and pneumatic valve actuation systems.
