Overview

Introducing the 2012 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 Factory ABS, a standout contender in the super motard category that seamlessly blends urban agility with thrilling performance. Known for its sharp handling and robust build, the Dorsoduro 750 Factory is engineered for those who crave the excitement of spirited rides while navigating through both city streets and winding backroads. With its distinctive styling and aggressive stance, this bike appeals to motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate not only the aesthetics but also the advanced technology and engineering that Aprilia is renowned for. At the heart of the Dorsoduro 750 lies a potent 749.90cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating 90.25 horsepower at 8,750 RPM and a torque of 82 Nm. This powerful engine, combined with a 6-speed gearbox and a chain final drive, ensures that every twist of the throttle translates into thrilling acceleration and immediate response. The incorporation of ride-by-wire electronic throttle control allows for precise handling, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal engine performance even during high-demand situations. Riders will appreciate the bike’s lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 185 kg, which contributes to its nimble maneuverability and confidence-inspiring cornering capabilities. The Dorsoduro 750 Factory is not just about raw power; it comes equipped with a host of key features that enhance both safety and comfort. The multi-adjustable Sachs upside-down fork up front and the gas-operated rear shock absorber provide 160 mm of travel, ensuring a plush ride over uneven surfaces. Safety is paramount, with the inclusion of ABS-equipped Brembo brakes for impressive stopping power, featuring double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear. The modular steel trellis frame, bolstered by aluminum side plates, offers both rigidity and lightness, making it a versatile performer that can tackle any road condition with ease. **

Pros

  • Impressive Performance: The powerful V2 engine delivers strong acceleration and a dynamic riding experience, making it a blast to ride in both urban environments and on twisty roads.
  • Advanced Suspension: The adjustable suspension components provide excellent handling and comfort, allowing riders to fine-tune their setup according to personal preferences and riding conditions.
  • Agile and Lightweight: Weighing just 185 kg, the Dorsoduro 750 is incredibly nimble, making it perfect for city commuting as well as spirited weekend rides.

Cons

  • Seat Height: With a seat height of 870 mm, it may not be the most accessible option for shorter riders, potentially limiting its appeal.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: The 12-liter fuel tank may require more frequent stops on longer rides compared to bikes with larger tanks, which could be inconvenient for some.
  • Aggressive Riding Position: While the sporty ergonomics enhance performance, they may not be the most comfortable for long-distance touring, making it more suited for shorter, spirited rides.
