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

balanced suspension

practical maintenance intervals

seating position suitable for everyday use

12-litre tank too small limits range

water pump shows weaknesses after 40,000 km

frequent adjustment of secondary chain necessary

Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.

Stable frame

relatively low overall weight

good chassis

high-quality components

strong braking system

handling.

Significantly weaker single-cylinder engine

somewhat less comfort

somewhat less power.
