Overview

Introducing the 2011 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 ABS, a striking embodiment of the super motard genre that perfectly melds sportiness with everyday practicality. Renowned for its dynamic styling and aggressive stance, the Dorsoduro stands out in the crowded motorcycle market, capturing the hearts of enthusiasts who crave a thrilling ride that doesn’t shy away from daily commuting. With its robust V2 engine and advanced technology, this machine is designed to conquer both twisty backroads and urban jungles with ease. At the heart of the Dorsoduro 750 ABS is a 749.90 cc, four-stroke V2 engine that delivers an exhilarating 90.25 HP at 8,750 RPM, paired with a torque output of 82.00 Nm. This potent combination enables seamless acceleration and an engaging riding experience that keeps you connected to the road. The 6-speed gearbox ensures smooth transitions through the gears, while the ride-by-wire electronic throttle control enhances responsiveness, providing precise handling and control. Whether you’re darting through city traffic or carving corners on a winding country road, the Dorsoduro’s lightweight frame and agile chassis, with a rake of 26 degrees and trail of 108 mm, make for a nimble ride that’s as exhilarating as it is confidence-inspiring. In addition to its impressive performance, the Dorsoduro 750 ABS boasts a range of advanced features that elevate the riding experience. The modular steel trellis frame, combined with aluminum side plates, provides both strength and flexibility, while the 43 mm upside-down front fork and adjustable rear shock absorber ensure a comfortable and controlled ride. Safety is paramount, with ABS-equipped braking systems at both the front and rear, featuring double discs at the front (320 mm) and a single disc at the rear (240 mm) that enhance stopping power and stability. With a fuel capacity of 12 liters, riders can expect a respectable range, allowing for extended adventures without frequent stops. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The V2 engine delivers thrilling performance with a great power-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for spirited rides.
  • Agile Handling: The lightweight frame and sporty geometry provide exceptional maneuverability, perfect for navigating tight corners and urban environments.
  • Advanced Safety Features: Equipped with ABS, the braking system enhances rider confidence, particularly in adverse conditions.

Cons

  • Seat Height: At 870 mm, the seat height may be intimidating for shorter riders, potentially affecting comfort and control.
  • Fuel Capacity: While respectable, the 12-liter tank may require more frequent refueling on longer journeys compared to competitors with larger tanks.
  • Limited Storage: The Dorsoduro’s focus on performance and style leaves little room for luggage or storage options, which may not suit all riders’ needs.
