Aprilia withdrew from MotoGP at the end of 2004, after struggling to make its 990cc RS Cube competitive.

1000cc motorcycles will not presently be allowed into the premier-class until 2012, although the exact regulations are yet to be decided by the Grand Prix Commission.
With the present 800cc MotoGP grid now reduced to just 16 riders, following Valentino Rossi’s injury, hints have been made that some flexibility should be shown for teams that want to race a 1000cc before 2012. If not, Aprilia and Aspar could spend next season developing the machine before a 2012 race debut.
Motocuatro states that Aprilia’s MotoGP aim is to be “competitive in the medium term”.
Aspar presently runs satellite Ducati machinery for Hector Barbera (pictured) in the MotoGP class, which he finally gained an entry for this season.
Aspar and Aprilia currently lead the 125cc World Championship with Nicolas Terol and the Spaniard had hoped to run an Aprilia chassis in Moto2 this year, but the factory canned the project at the last minute, forcing Aspar to switch to an RSV and then Suter chassis.
Perhaps the proposed MotoGP tie-up is Aspar’s reward for so much past (and present) Aprilia success - and for weathering the Moto2 chassis storm.
