Interesting new bike from Aprilia coming (soon?). Not sure if it’s just a concept either.
But… 187 kg/412 lbs and 18l/4.75 gallon tank. That’s impressive.
Concerns over an Italian brand (durability, parts, service) but as with cars, there’s a lot of cross-pollination with engineers and such so I’m optimistic
Edit: review here now from CycleWorld
Not many better suited to test this pre-production model than Justin Dawes. He was with KTM before CycleWorld and knows his stuff like few others. I'm impressed by the design; especially the fuel tanks not being so damn high (T700) but quite a bit down low behind the airbox. I'd like to know the rake but I can see it's not an issue (like my Tiger 900). Price is right and will give the T700 and 890 a lot of competition!
