The 2013 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 is a standout in the super motard category, epitomizing the essence of spirited riding blended with Italian flair. This bike is designed for those who crave agility, versatility, and a touch of adrenaline in their daily rides. With its sharp styling and robust stance, the Dorsoduro 750 isn’t just built for the urban jungle, it’s equally at home on winding backroads, making it a compelling choice for riders looking to bridge the gap between street and sport. At the heart of the Dorsoduro 750 is a potent 749.90 ccm V2 engine, which delivers an impressive 90.25 horsepower at 8,750 RPM and a torque of 82 Nm at 4,500 RPM. This robust powertrain is coupled with a 6-speed gearbox that provides smooth and rapid shifts, allowing for exhilarating acceleration that ignites the rider's passion.

Equipped with advanced features, the Dorsoduro 750 combines cutting-edge technology with practical performance. The modular steel trellis frame, secured with high-strength aluminum side plates, offers both rigidity and lightweight handling. The front suspension features a 43 mm upside-down fork with 160 mm of wheel travel, providing excellent feedback and stability, while the rear suspension with an adjustable hydraulic shock absorber allows riders to fine-tune their setup for comfort or performance. With powerful double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, stopping power is not compromised, ensuring safety and control. A comfortable seat height of 870 mm complements the bike’s ergonomics, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The V2 engine delivers thrilling performance and excellent torque, making it ideal for both urban commuting and spirited rides.
  • Agile Handling: The lightweight chassis and advanced suspension setup provide superb maneuverability, enhancing rider confidence in diverse conditions.
  • Advanced Technology: Features like ride-by-wire throttle control and a digital ignition system improve overall performance and responsiveness.

Cons
