New Aprilia distributor

From CNW

TORONTO, ON -- Canadian Scooter Corp. announced today it has been appointed the exclusive Canadian distributor of Aprilia, the Italian manufacturer of renowned and race-inspired motorbikes. Aprilia joins Canadian Scooter Corp.'s already venerable collection of scooters and motorcycles, which includes the Italian icon Vespa.

"We are thrilled to add Aprilia to our line-up," said Morey Chaplick, president of Canadian Scooter Corp. "An Aprilia bike is in a class of its own - the perfect synergy of style and substance, cutting-edge function and
user-friendly form."

Aprilia will make its Canadian debut by mid-summer at authorized Aprilia dealers across the country.

"All over the world, the name Aprilia is synonymous with on- and off-road two-wheel adventure," said Paolo Timoni, president and CEO of Piaggio Group Americas. "Partnering with Canadian Scooter Corp. means we can now bring that emotion-packed ride to Canadian motorbike enthusiasts."

Founded in 1962, Aprilia has been at the forefront of sport bike engineering for over 40 years and boasts 26 motorcycling world championship titles under its belt. Aprilia's integration with Piaggio in 2004 led to
the creation of the biggest two-wheeler manufacturer in Europe and one of the world's leading names in the sector, with 1.5 billion Euro in sales, an annual production capacity of over 610,000 vehicles, and presence in 50 countries.

The Toronto-based Canadian Scooter Corp. is the exclusive importer and distributor of new Vespa, Piaggio, Moto Guzzi, Derbi and Aprilia motor scooters and motorcycles in Canada. For more information and dealer
