Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 2018

Aprilia's Dorsoduro 900 is a familiar candidate in the supermoto segment. Power and handling are not at the top of the field, but they are perfectly sufficient to make it a real fun bike for the country road. Moreover, the Dorsoduro is considered a comparatively rare motorbike, which is why you certainly won't get lost in the crowd at the motorbike meeting.
