According to recent reports, Piaggio is working on new 300cc-400cc Aprilia sportbikes for the Nepalese market. The Italian brand previously planned on experimenting with the 150cc motorcycle segment though the increasing market share and the trend for the higher-displacement motorcycles have made them change paths. As reported earlier Piaggio is set to launch 300cc-400cc Aprilia bikes in Nepal by next year.

Piaggio showcased the Aprilia RS 150 and the Tuono 150 back at the Auto Expo 2018 though the motorcycles never made it to the showrooms. The brand now plans on launching higher-displacement 300cc-400cc Aprilia sportbikes in Nepal to compete with the likes of KTM RC 390 and the TVS Apache RR 310. As per the latest details available, the upcoming Aprilia sportbikes will be launched in Nepal by the end of 2022 or in early 2023. Stay tune with us for more auto news in Nepal.

The Vespa and the Aprilia range of scooters have recently been updated by the brand with BS6-compliant engines.
