Title: Aprilia Dorsodoro 750
Post by: Rikki on 10 May 2015, 12:13:16 am
Anyone owned/knows someone who owned one of these? I've seen a few for sale with hardly any miles on them going for surprising low asking prices (under £4500). The power/weight ratio looks similar to a Fazer 600 but they look the business & have pretty impressive shocks & brakes. I would imagine you could get some serious lean angles too. I've never owned a V twin & at the prices they are going for it's looking a bit tempting. Is anyone aware of any reasons why they seem so cheap?

Nice one Ralphie, to be honest I'm just toying with the idea of getting something a bit newer for summer commuting & weekend kicks but it probably won't happen until next year (hopefully by which time the prices will have come down even more). Looks like yours put a smile on your face though - any reason why you didn't keep it?
