    I am hearing/reading.............

    Good things about this bike Aprilia 750 Dorsoduro. I know it is not from the Orange stable but it has just beat the 990sm in a bike magazine test.
    It does look well to.

    i rode one, its got the same engine and frame as the Shiver, it feels eager at low revs but runs out of Puff very quickly, it don't handle very well either, all in all i was disapointed, its not an anti aprilia thing either coz i have a Touono Factory and love that, i just didn't go much on it
    the only way is to test ride one yourself

    ohhh i did like the computer in the clocks, trying to get the actual MPG reading to over 100mpg is fun

    2) 04/real 540,rebuilt and much better than when i bought it , no thanks to the previous owner
    3) 08/ Aprilia Tuono Factory

    they go well enough,but way underpowered.

    had a 2 hour test ride and took it back after 30 minutes as i found it boring.

    I love the look of it, it's a work of art! Look at that swingarm, and how easy is that shock to adjust?
