Why "ape"?

It's a sort of "Americanism". They got the name not surprisingly from "Aprilia". :biggrin
 
It's not a nickname, just short for Aprilia. Aprilia has four syllables and that's too much for some people so they shortened it to Ape which only has one.

They have plenty of nicknames too, but they are mostly unprintable as the word censor would blank them out anyway
 
Think it is because most of the riders look a bit neanderthal? not me though im a pretty boy.
