First pic of Aprilia’s MotoGP 2016 bike caught in testing at Qatar

Top Italian website GPone has bagged this, the only image of the 2016 Aprilia MotoGP bike.

The snapshot was taken during the bike’s first outing at Qatar, two weeks before the full IRTA MotoGP test.

Aprilia test rider Mike Di Meglio took the bike out for the initial shakedown laps. Aprilia test riders Alvaro Bautista and Stefan Bradl will ride the bike in a fortnight’s time.

Looks tiny, doesn’t it? Back end looks pretty much like a Ducati, front end is pretty Honda-like too… we love it, especially in prototype-black. What do you think?
