APRILIA

Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS Travel Pack

This Italian sport-touring machine is loaded to the gills with the latest electronic rider aids and convenience features. A ride-by-wire throttle system is the basis for the APRC-derived traction control and seamless cruise control, and there’s a trio of throttle response/power delivery maps. The suspension of this big new sport-tourer features semi-active Aprilia Dynamic Damping that continually adjusts the fork and shock calibration in real-time with a comfort-oriented algorithm to suit ever-changing road conditions.

Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC ABS

Racers and trackday enthusiasts will appreciate the Factory version of Aprilia’s V-4 superbike. Upgraded features include a fork, shock, and adjustable steering damper all from Öhlins, plus ECU-controlled variable-length intake ducts, an adjustable frame, forged aluminum rims, and other carbon-fiber parts. Advanced electronics include ABS and APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control), a system that features traction control, wheelie control, launch control, and the Aprilia Quick Shift system, all of which can be configured and deactivated individually.

Aprilia RSV4 R APRC ABS

Whether you’re grinding knee sliders on the racetrack or tearing up your favorite back road, the razor-sharp Aprilia is the right tool for the job. This track-bred racer-replica has an incredibly compact stature, competitive power output, and unmatched liter-class agility, all while possessing Italian style that is candy for the eyes and a V-4 exhaust song that is music to the ears. As with the Factory model, the R edition includes the APRC system and its cutting-edge electronic aids that provide enhanced performance and rider safety.

Aprilia Tuono V4 R APRC ABS

Based on the championship-winning RSV4 superbike, the Tuono delivers hard-core engine and chassis performance in an ergonomically friendly layout that places its rider in an upright sporting posture. The Tuono is more than a naked superbike, however, as its engine tuning emphasizes increased torque and smoother delivery with greater crankshaft inertia and shortened ratios in the first three gears. As with its V-4 superbike siblings, the Tuono features APRC as well as track-quality suspension, brakes, and tires.

Aprilia Mana 850 GT ABS

$11,199

Featuring a GT-style half-fairing with an adjustable windshield, the rider-friendly Mana 850 is a highly versatile machine that’s equally adept at daily use as a commuter or for light touring duty. An illuminated storage compartment sits where you’d normally expect to find the gas tank. Adding to the bike’s convenience and safety is Continental’s latest-generation two-channel ABS and Aprilia’s fully automatic seven-speed SportGear electronically controlled sequential gearshift system. The result is a motorcycle that is certain to appeal to riders of practically all ability levels.

Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 ABS

$10,299

While sharing the same basic powertrain, modular frame, and advanced ride-by-wire Tri-Map selectable performance modes of the Shiver 750, the Aprilia Dorsoduro, an early release 2014 model, comes wrapped in aggressive supermoto-inspired trim. Longer-travel suspension, strong ABS brakes, sticky tires, and cutting-edge styling set this Italian apart from the crowd, no matter if this 749cc naked is tackling the twisties in the local mountains or gathering more than its fair share of attention while pounding the chic urban beat. Carbon-fiber hand guards are a pricey $529.95 accessory.

Aprilia Shiver 750

$8699

Naked bikes are versatile by nature, and the sporty Shiver shakes up the recipe with a mix of Italian style and broad-range usability. The daily commute just doesn’t get any more enjoyable, while weekend back road work is a bold-faced bullet-point on the Shiver’s résumé. Residing in the engine bay is a liquid-cooled, 749cc, 90-degree V-twin featuring a ride-by-wire throttle that allows a choice of three rider-selectable delivery profiles. The chassis, a tubular-steel trellis arrangement with aluminum pieces, is fitted with a single-shock rear suspension and an inverted fork that carries a pair of powerful radial-mounted brake calipers.

Aprilia SR 50 Factory

$3299

If you’ve attended a World Superbike event in recent years, you’ve surely noticed Max Biaggi and his Aprilia RSV4 on track. Chances are, you may have also spotted the multitime world champion zipping about the paddock aboard an SR 50 in factory livery. Who says scooters have to be economy-minded commuting machines? Well, Max knows they can also be wicked fun. The two-stroke SR 50 breathes clean and green, thanks to fuel injection, and yet it has a sporty feel with its analog tachometer and digital instrument cluster.

Aprilia SR Motard 50

$2099

Looking for economical two-wheel transportation but have most of your monthly budget tied up in rent, tuition, and fast food? The SR Motard 50 gets you mobile for far less than most two-wheel options on the market while offering many of the same qualities found in high-end scooters. Best of all, it’s a lightweight, easy-handling package thanks in part to the confidence-boosting stability provided by its stylish 14-inch cast alloy wheels. A spacious 7.4-gallon top box is available for $149.95. Sure beats riding the bus.
