Aprilia - Scarabeo 200 (2006, ZD4TDA03)

The vehicle combines the core characteristics of a large-wheeled scooter with classic styling, practical technology and increased engine performance for both urban and longer-distance use. This version marks the final iteration before the transition to the redesigned Scarabeo 200 generation with a new engine platform.
