Aprilia Dorsoduro - Motorbike Reviews - BikePoint
A motorcycle is a joy machine. It's a machine of wonders, a metal bird, a motorized prosthetic. It's light and dark and shiny and dirty and warm and cold lapping over each other; it's a conduit of grace, it's a catalyst for bonding the gritty and the holy.
coool
i dont understand how they make less cylinders with visibly less bulk, significantly more heavy all the time with these types of bikes though?
denser metals prehaps?

When they first started dribbling out info on this I was excited, but it's fallen well short for me.
Maybe the 1200 version will be cool, but when are these bikes going to loose some weight? :/
Way too heavy...186kg dry...
SXV550 with a full tank of fuel is 138kg...
Yuk, sorry not my cuppa tea....
yeah it only hold about 8L of fuel (or something tiny cant remember) with a range of sfa! and designed pretty much for the track ~$15k r/aOriginally Posted by Rich
the dusduro has a larger tank bit better for riding elsewhere other than the track
unfortunately it lacks the feel and the brakes of the sxv... ~$17.5k r/a
test rode both not long ago when looking for a motard
they both had their pro's n con's
the ktm 690smc i thought is probably the best priced and most versitile of the 3 ~$15.5k r/a
sxv550 is way more fun than the dusduro but i doubt u would get much enjoyment with it around town
7.5 litres...
$13,500 on the road with 12 months rego...
And I get heaps of enjoyment out of it around town...
hell yes i would buy and ride one
13.5?
thats a good deal i got told different a rick gill 3 weeks ago!
i still hav the blokes card around with the prices on it too
that seat is hard as hell =\
although i dont disagree it is a fun bike but limited by its range imho
I do like this bike. Only two problems I can see with it. Slightly overweight and marginally underpowered compared to it's rivals. As Satan1 said the 1200cc version will be cool and hopefully have enough herbs to blow the comp away. The 750 is still a very nice bike and all the review I've read have been very positive.
"Starin' at the world through my rearview"
After actually riding one I honestly couldn't feel the extra weight over the hornet I had ridden 10 minutes prior.
Still prefer my striple though.
But they aren't really aimed at comparable markets.
When I think motard I don't think 186 dry.
