Ducati is a sponsor.
Aprilla's were used in some sequences for technical (stunts) reasons.

If a scene calls for a Lambo to be blown up, do you blow up a real lambo or a Fiero in a Lambo suit?

Even the case cover in the top pic still says Aprilia. What the hell? Would have been simpler to buy a Duc, no?

C'mon now, Aprilia > Fiero.

A $12-15K bike is nothing to a major studio, so I don't see that as a concern.

Pic is real.
Bike is an Aprilla with Ducati bits tacked on.

Stunt coordinator prefers Aprilla
Sponsor is Ducati
