Aprilias are generally a more expensive exotic, with few dealerships. When we went on vacation to Panama City Beach in Florida about a year ago, a company was renting 125cc Aprilia 2-strokes or various scooters for people on vacation- I do not think the 2-strokes are street legal in California for public roads, because they burn oil, but the new 125cc 4-stroke should be legal for California roads.

If I had a lot of money, I might get one of these for short trips and stunts (not for a beginner):
