@pete - glad to have you back. Some brief googling says it's Zongshen-Piaggio, which makes sense because they've been working together for a while, at least since the NC250 motor came out (it was a joint design), and Aprilia is a Piaggio brand.
@GlennR - it's not impossible, but highly improbable, Piaggio doesn't, imho, have a brand in the States where they would sell something like this, Aprilia, again imho, is seen too much as a premium brand to sell this model Stateside, even though they also sell scooters.
Their other brands Stateside are Moto Guzzi, Vespa, and sometimes Piaggio themselves (like the MP3). I really don't see a place where it would fit in their lineup in the US, and it would probably be pretty expensive since all of those brands are "premium". My guess is this would be a $4-5k motorcycle there, in a displacement class no one would buy, with typical Piaggio parts availability, from "weeks away" to "never going to be shipped/arrive".
