### Discover the 2019 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900: A Super Motard Marvel The 2019 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 stands proudly in the super motard category, blending the thrill of a sportbike with the practicality of an adventure motorcycle. This Italian powerhouse is designed for those who relish the freedom of the open road as much as they do the hustle and bustle of city streets. With its aggressive styling, upright riding position, and versatile performance, the Dorsoduro 900 appeals to both seasoned riders seeking a spirited ride and newcomers eager to explore the world of motorcycling. At the heart of this beast lies an impressive 896cc V2 engine, delivering a robust 95.20 HP at 8750 RPM. The torque rating of 90 Nm at 6500 RPM ensures exhilarating acceleration, allowing riders to experience the thrill of power while navigating twisty roads or zipping through urban traffic. With a compression ratio of 11.0:1 and a sophisticated ride-by-wire electronic throttle control, the Dorsoduro 900 offers a seamless connection between rider and machine. The 6-speed gearbox enhances the experience, ensuring smooth gear transitions whether you're carving through corners or cruising down the highway. Coupled with an agile chassis and a lightweight design, the Dorsoduro provides an exhilarating ride that ignites the senses. The Dorsoduro 900 is not just about raw power; it’s equipped with advanced features that elevate the riding experience. Its modular tubular steel frame, complemented by aluminum side plates, not only contributes to its lightweight nature but also enhances handling and stability. The adjustable upside-down front suspension and hydraulic rear monoshock provide the rider with the confidence to tackle any terrain, whether it be a winding backroad or a city street. The braking system, featuring powerful double disc brakes with ABS, ensures precise stopping power, making it an ideal companion for spirited rides. Furthermore, the bike's sleek design is available in striking color options of black, silver, and red, appealing to riders who appreciate aesthetics as much as performance. ####
