Aprilia Dorsodoro 750

[Rikki]

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?

Yea I had one , few issues under warranty but I,m sure they will be sorted by now
cracking bike not a tourer of course though I took mine on a FOC scotland trip 
I ran mine as a 2nd bike to my ZX12R
PM me if you want to know anything

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?

I had to sell all my toys to afford a brand new ZZR1400 as I wanted a specific model


I do really want a 2nd bike again but wont be this year
