Aprilia Tuono V4R

The 750cc Shiver and Dorsoduro are very appealing in their own right, yet performance from their three-quarter-liter V-Twins have been a little underwhelming. But after years of rumors about larger-displacement version of the same engine, Aprilia has finally delivered with the Dorsoduro 1200.

 

The Max Dorso has already been introduced in Europe, and our correspondent Tor Sagen brought back a glowing review you can read here. Although no lightweight (at a stated 457 lbs dry), the Dorso 12 comes to the party with a claimed 130 crankshaft horses to give it midrange grunt the 750 can’t approach. The big Dorso’s appeal is also expanded with high-end features like traction control and optional ABS.

Now comes the SE version to sweeten the pot RSV4 Factory in April, with the addition of traction control, wheelie control, launch control and an electronic exchange, you can learn more from our correspondent in euros First Ride Review. Aprilia went and did one of our favorite literbike all times, even better! That will sell for $ 22,499 when it arrives on our shores in mid-2011.

 

 

And if you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket and you have to drive like Max, Aprilia Superbike provides specifications, 200 horsepower race-ready Biaggi Replica for the modest sum of $ 64,000.
