impressions

Yes, the new Aprilia Caponord is still very new... but from what you've seen so far, what are your initial impressions?

First impressions Tuono 2006 R Picked up the bike last night and of course it was raining:thumbdown: . I had a 2002 Mille R a few years back so kind of knew what to expect but last few bikes have all be been in line fours . The main thing to say is its bloody beautiful and I love it...

Been out today for the first proper blast since i got the bike, ****** weather and ****** shifts at work preventing me from doing this sooner. The seat aint very comfortable is it, my arse was killing after about 40 miles. Fast cornering was showing the back end to be a bit wallowey, the...

Jeez, it's bloody quick! Done about 70 miles or so since i picked up my toy yesterday so I thought I'd let you know what I think so far. It's bloody fast! The height caught me out at the first junction i came to, feet flapping trying to find the floor lol, the weight is a big difference...

With the great weather over the weekend, i have spent alot of time riding my Tuono, ('06 10,000 miles bought two weeks ago), and adjusting to the feel of a V- twin after years on multis'. Initially very impressed with power:eek and amazing handling. After today, a few things have come to my...

Wow...what an unbelievable machine! Many thanks to Amauri from the Long Beach Aprilia California dealership for setting the bike up for me with sag and safety-wiring, I finally rode my new RSV4 Factory for the first time on the Streets of Willow racetrack. The first session was on the Sport...

I thought it’s time for me to share my Lilly observations for anyone lurking to buy her. Well I’ve had Japs (4)’s before last one being Honda CBR 600 Ultima Light. I always wanted Lilly but prices were quite steep. My friend bought one and within 3 months swapped it for a new Honda. They just...

Well the Tuono arrived tonight as expected and i gave it a run. First impressions. Footpegs high compared to last couple of bikes. Seat is flat and firm compared to the SM's i've been riding. Condition of the bike is A1. Totally immaculate. Exhaust sounds nice (Standard can) Brakes are...

I had my local dealers demo out for a whole morning. I had been a bit concerned about the seat height, but the bike is very narrow so getting my feet down was no problem. You don't realise how small the bike is until you sit on it. It churns over a good few times on the starter before it fires...
