Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 2017

Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 2017

The Dorsoduro 900 can do everything better than its predecessor, the Dorsoduro 750. The electronics with adjustable modes, ABS and traction control work flawlessly, and the engine now also has the necessary punch from below that makes a two-cylinder supermoto so much fun. Thanks to the high seating position, it is agile enough, but always remains stable and precise. The look is only slightly changed from the Dorso 750, but since the competition has given up in unison, the Dorsoduro 900 is the last of its kind and thus the only supermoto funbike on the market.

Aprilia Tuareg 660 2022

All in all, the well-equipped Tuareg 660 from Aprilia is not only a great touring enduro in the truest sense of the word for 11,990 euros in Germany and 13,490 euros in Austria, but also - if you like - a "Tenere with everything". For this, you have to dig a little deeper into your pocket. But you will quickly become familiar with the more accessible Tuareg, which makes it a good choice for those looking for their first adventures off the beaten track - without boring experienced riders, quite the opposite. In any case, the Aprilia is an enrichment for the Sequment and a good option for those who do not want to do without electronic riding aids even on an off-road oriented Reissenduro.
