Heiko P. brave Even a hard back can be delightful – with the Dorsoduro, the Aprilia men are sending a beautifully made styling bike into the new season.

Dorsoduro – this is a Venetian district full of sacred and profane magnificent buildings.

Translated, this means something like "hard back", which refers to the rocky subsoil of the district. There is no reason to fear that the new Aprilia Dorsoduro would therefore be rocky and hard.
The harsh name is more likely to address the driver's single existence, as there was no sign of a passenger at the unveiling in Milan. The powerful 750cc V2 with its 95 hp clearly makes the Dorso a cornering speedster for solo riders.
And the other ingredients of the styling bike derived from the SL 750 Shiver make connoisseurs click their tongues: USD forks, radial brake calipers or OZ-style wheels – that's how fun machines are built. The Dorsoduro is supposed to come to us in May, but the price has not yet been determined. But it will certainly not be quite as expensive as a palace in Venice.

Aprilia Aprilia FV2 1200: finger exercise with a real engine

Aprilia FV2-1200 – a study with a real engine
The Aprilia eye-catcher exhibited more than just a study in Milan – the extreme model FV2-1200, which is well worth seeing, contains the new 90-degree V2 engine, which will go into series production from 2008/2009. The big brother of the current 750 Shiver engine is said to produce a decent 135 hp and a whopping torque of well over 100 Nm at 4000 rpm.
The futuristic front wheel guide and the delicious carbon rear wheel swing arm should first be filed under the rubric "Aprilia designers' finger exercises". However, it does not seem entirely impossible that some design elements will be found on future Aprilias. So you can be curious.

  1. A nice car from Bologna???
    Una macchina literally means "a machine", but in Italian it means "a car". … A motorcycle is una moto.

  2. my useless comment
    I find the look of some motorcycles simple "hot" (quote planks). Harley-Davidson for example is a real treat for my eyes. And occasionally I enjoy watching this TV show "American choppers" at. But that’s where my enthusiasm for motorcycles ends. Because far too many drivers drive far too aggressively, fast, dangerously and much more.a loudly.

  3. Assembled in Germany
    If Wikipedia is to be believed, the 650cc single cylinder of the Rotax G models is made in China and the 450 single cylinder comes from Kymco in Taiwan. It will soon be called CMW instead of BMW?

  4. BMW G 450 X
    is finally assembled in Berlin, the engine is made in China. Production was moved from Rotax to Loncin. Incidentally, the 650 engine is also produced there. So much for: "Made in Germany"

  5. BMW G450X
    The ready-to-drive 199 kilos of the BMW G450X must be a misprint, as that would make the sports enduro completely unsuitable for off-road use.

  6. Please no more useless comments
    Whether you need the bikes or not, no motorcycle fan begrudges car fans their USV or Carrera. So we can enjoy the partly priceless motorbikes.
