Overview

Introducing the 2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travel Pack, a motorcycle that masterfully blends the spirit of adventure with the comforts of sport touring. Positioned as a versatile option for riders who crave both spirited rides and long-distance journeys, the Caponord 1200 Travel Pack is built to tackle everything from winding mountain roads to open highways. With its striking red finish and a robust presence, this bike embodies the Italian craftsmanship and performance that Aprilia is renowned for, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts who demand both style and function. At the heart of the Caponord 1200 is a powerful 1197cc V2 engine that churns out an impressive 125 horsepower at 8,250 RPM and 114 Nm of torque at 6,800 RPM. This four-stroke powerhouse is designed to deliver a thrilling ride, whether you're accelerating on the straights or navigating through twisty backroads. The engine features an advanced Ride by Wire throttle management system, offering three distinct riding modes – Sport, Touring, and Rain – allowing riders to tailor their experience based on road conditions and personal preference. With a 6-speed gearbox and a smooth, hydraulically-operated multiplate wet clutch, the Caponord ensures that power is seamlessly delivered to the rear wheel, providing both confidence and control in every situation. Beyond its impressive engine, the Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travel Pack is laden with features and technology aimed at enhancing the riding experience. The modular tubular steel frame, combined with an aluminum swingarm, provides excellent handling and stability, while the fully adjustable Sachs suspension system – boasting 167mm of front travel and 150mm at the rear – ensures a smooth ride over varying terrains. Safety is also a priority, with dual-channel Continental ABS braking system ensuring that the rider maintains control in even the most challenging conditions. Additionally, the adjustable windscreen and generous 24-liter fuel tank further enhance the touring capabilities of this motorcycle, allowing riders to cover long distances with comfort and ease. **

Pros

  • Versatile Riding Modes: The Ride by Wire system with Sport, Touring, and Rain modes allows riders to adapt the bike’s performance to different conditions and preferences.
  • Comfortable for Long Journeys: The adjustable windscreen and ergonomically designed seat height (840 mm) cater to long-distance touring, providing comfort for extended rides.
  • Robust Handling and Stability: The combination of a modular tubular steel frame and fully adjustable suspension offers impressive handling and stability across various terrains.

Cons

  • Weight Consideration: At around 242 kg (535 lbs) wet, the motorcycle may feel heavy for some riders, particularly in low-speed maneuvers.
  • Maintenance Complexity: The advanced technology and features may require more specialized maintenance, which could lead to higher service costs.
  • Limited Color Options: The Caponord 1200 is primarily available in a striking red, which may not appeal to all riders looking for a more diverse color palette.
