Overview

### Discover the 2014 Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS: A Sport-Touring Marvel The 2014 Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS stands tall in the sport touring category, combining the exhilarating performance of a sportbike with the comfort and versatility of a touring machine. With a price point starting at $15,499, this motorcycle caters to those who crave adventure without sacrificing daily rideability. Aprilia has crafted a machine that not only appeals to seasoned riders but also beckons newcomers to the world of long-distance motorcycling. With its robust design and Italian flair, the Caponord 1200 ABS is more than just a bike; it’s an invitation to explore the open road. At the heart of the Caponord 1200 ABS lies a powerful 1197cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive 125 horsepower at 8500 RPM and a torque figure of 114 Nm at 6500 RPM. This spirited engine provides a thrilling riding experience, allowing riders to carve through twists and turns with confidence and poise. The thoughtfully designed Ride by Wire throttle management system offers three distinct maps—Sport, Touring, and Rain—granting riders the flexibility to adapt their ride to various conditions and preferences. The 6-speed gearbox ensures seamless gear transitions, while the liquid-cooling system keeps the engine performing optimally, whether you're on a winding road or cruising at highway speeds. But the Caponord 1200 ABS isn't just about raw power; it's also packed with cutting-edge technology and features that enhance the riding experience. The modular tubular steel frame, reinforced with aluminum side plates, offers a stable platform for the fully adjustable Sachs upside-down front fork, providing an impressive 167 mm of wheel travel. The two-channel Continental ABS and Aprilia Traction Control systems work in tandem to boost rider confidence in all conditions, ensuring that safety is paramount. Riders can also appreciate the adjustable seat height, which can be lowered to 840 mm, facilitating comfort for riders of varying statures. The bike's striking aesthetic options in white or red further emphasize its sporty character. ####
