We did our own test on the Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 and were well impressed with the “ride by wire” technology and the Sport and Touring modes. As you can see from the photos of our previous post, we certainly put the Dorsoduro through its paces.

Over on MCN they’ve done a group test of the Aprilia up against the KTM 990SM and the Ducati Hypermotard. Above is the video of the test where you can check out how the Aprilia fared.

In the Aprilia Company the arrival point is well defined: to create a supermotard with no compromises, in every detail. And so it has been.
