Star Powersports partners with Motorcycle Inn for Aprilia X 250TH unveiling
Star Powersports is partnering with Motorcycle Inn in Knoxville, Tennessee, to host an off-site unveiling of the limited-edition Aprilia X 250TH, bringing a specialty motorcycle reveal to a venue outside the dealership.
The event is scheduled for Nov. 19 from 6 to 9 p.m. Eastern at The Station, 213 W. Jackson Ave. in Knoxville. The partnership brings together the Knoxville dealership and Motorcycle Inn for an evening centered on Aprilia’s racing-inspired limited-edition motorcycle.
“We wanted to create an experience around this motorcycle that goes beyond a traditional showroom unveiling,” according to Marcelo Sackel, general manager and managing partner of Star Powersports. “Partnering with Motorcycle Inn gives us an opportunity to bring together motorcycle enthusiasts, customers and the local community in a different setting while showcasing what Aprilia Racing has developed.”
The Aprilia X 250TH was developed by Aprilia Racing to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. The special edition features a Stars and Stripes livery and technology derived from Aprilia’s MotoGP program.
Aprilia is producing just 30 units worldwide, with 25 allocated to the U.S. market. The motorcycle carries a $150,000 MSRP.
Among its distinguishing features is a Brembo carbon-carbon braking system using carbon discs and pads derived from MotoGP technology. The bike also features updated aerodynamic components inspired by Aprilia’s RS-GP race machine, a 1,099cc V4 engine producing 240 horsepower and an Aprilia Racing APX electronics package.
The X 250TH is the sixth installment in Aprilia Racing’s X series, which brings competition-derived technology to limited-production motorcycles available to customers.
For Star Powersports, the event represents an opportunity to build customer engagement through a partnership with another local motorcycle business while showcasing one of Aprilia’s most exclusive models.
