2011 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200
I grew up riding dirt bikes. I raced motocross bikes for a while, as well. Even on the street, to this day I am most comfortable sitting upright in a “neutral” position, with virtually no weight on my wrists. I like supermotos.When we first saw pictures of the Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200, with its new 1200cc 90° v- twin engine, I got excited. A huge, massively powerful dirt bike, I thought, that could rule the roads in a way few bikes have previously. Aprilia seems to have invented a new name for a class of bikes that would include the Dorsoduro 1200, the “maximotard” class. Indeed, it is certainly new to me … a class of…

It appears to be a rebranded version of the GP800 scooter from Aprilia’s fellow Piaggio Group stablemate Gilera both scooters appear to share a similar frame and swingarm, but the Aprilia SRV 850′s front face and mirrors with integrated turn signals resembles the RSV4 superbike.

2008 Aprilia Sportcity 250cc Under 1600 Miles
Not much to tell… Bought this the end of June 2011 from a dealer in Tampa. Conducted the 1500mile (speedo is in KMs) complete service for $250… Couture Blue (Italian) I am an old guy and thought this would re-capture my youthful days of when I had a 1100cc 85 Honda Sabre freight-training down the highway at incredible closing speeds but alas I have not been able to realize those days of wind in your hair (always wear a helmet) the roar of horses between your legs (well under your bottom) when my balance just doesnt seem to meet the minimum standard of confidence. Seems my two wheel motoring days are over. Anything over 35mph…
Aprilia SR Max 300
Aprilia’s new SR Max 300 fits neatly into the overcrowded maxi-scooter class, but with a less than subtle difference from its rivals – the Aprilia actually looks exciting to ride.With styling allegedly based on the RSV4 superbike – a little far-fetched, although the black/red colour scheme is eye-catching and the angular layout of the bike is striking it follows in the tyre tracks of the Gilera Nexus 300, a same-spec maxi-scoot that has just been dropped from the Piaggio line-up. As Piaggio is the controlling parent of Gilera and Aprilia (amongst others) it’s safe to assume the Aprilia’s engine is from the same development/production line as the Gilera’s Quasar engine. Which means the Aprilia is…
