2009 Aprilia SMV 750 Dorsoduro
Fueled by five Supermoto World Championships, Aprilia's new supermotard is a seamless blend of total control and serious technology. Translation: Inordinate amounts of 'EXTREME' road riding fun!
Power slides, jumps, wheelies and full throttle straights are all part of supermoto racing, and now, with the U.S. debut of the mid-size 2009 SMV 750 Dorsoduro, this Italian manufacturer offers American riding enthusiasts a lightweight, high-performance 92-hp V-Twin streetbike that combines all the benefits of supermoto styling and riding position with precision handling and race-bred technology.
Agile, and powerful, this new addition to Aprilia's family of sport bikes features:
· A compact, new-generation 90° V-Twin engine for power that rivals or exceeds that of many larger twins (92 hp on tap at 8,750 rpm and 61 ft.-lbs. torque available at just 4,500 rpm)
· Abundant racing technology, from a second-generation ride-by-wire throttle to an ultra-rigid mixed steel trellis and aluminum frame and competition-caliber brakes with radial calipers.
· Tri-Map electronic throttle (Three performance modes - Sport, Touring and Rain - can be selected from a switch on the handlebars)
· Slim aggressive styling, perfect symmetry, ideal weight distribution as well as a dry weight of just 409 lbs.
· Innovative offset monoshock positioning to accommodate the exhaust collector pipes and avoid wasting space and adding weight.
· Equipped with the finest race-proven braking technology available.
· A sophisticated analog/digital instrument cluster that incorporates diagnostics and multiple functions.
The 2009 Aprilia SMV 750 Dorsoduro has a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $9,599. Color choices for U.S. riders include Aprilia Black and Shine Red.
