Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 2009

Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 2009

The Dorsoduro 750 proves to be a well-balanced all-rounder that masters the balancing act between suitability for everyday use and riding pleasure. The then innovative electronic throttle control has proven to be reliable and, in combination with the characterful V2 engine, enables a wide range of uses. The combination of good-natured handling for beginners and sufficient potential for experienced riders is particularly convincing. The few technical weaknesses are well documented and predictable.

Three selectable mapping curves with different characters

very elastic engine with a wide operating range

good-natured handling

high-quality brake package with bite

Overall, the Z800 delivered a sensational performance. Considering the fact that nothing was changed or optimised on the vehicle apart from the Remus rear silencer, a super final result.

Eye-catching, chunky look

confident acceleration

relaxed geometry

powerful brakes

Limited freedom of movement for the legs.
