An advanced engine and an exceptional chassis (typical of all Aprilia motorcycles) are the trump cards of the SMV 750, which also boasts sporting looks and a level of agility never before experienced on a twin. | An advanced engine and an exceptional chassis (typical of all Aprilia motorcycles) are the trump cards of the SMV 750, which also boasts sporting looks and a level of agility never before experienced on a twin. | ||
Lightweight, agile, and powerful, the SMV 750 benefits from a new generation of engine and some of the most advanced technical solutions found on any motard. Thanks to advanced electronics, its compact 90° V twin engine delivers power that rivals or exceeds that of many larger twins. And as Aprilia traditions demand, the chassis is simply unrivalled.

Thanks to advanced electronics, its compact 90° V twin engine delivers power that rivals or exceeds that of many larger twins. And as Aprilia traditions demand, the chassis is simply unrivalled. Developed to deadly effect on the super-specialist SXV, this mixed steel trellis and aluminum frame has become the hallmark of Aprilia motards. With technical specifications far in advance of the competition, this frame sets new standards for rigidity and agility. | ||
But ‘essential’ certainly does not mean ‘basic’ on the Aprilia SMV 750 DORSODURO. Components and performance are prestigious and the level of finish is worthy of a true flagship model. Radial calipers, hydraulic clutch, ride-by-wire engine control, wave discs, and matrix instrumentation with on board computer all combine to make the SMV 750 unique. | But ‘essential’ certainly does not mean ‘basic’ on the Aprilia SMV 750 DORSODURO.

There can hardly be a bike that's more agile than a supermoto one. And when the supermoto architecture receives input from a top racing body, such as Aprilia, one can only expect the best.

And when the supermoto architecture receives input from a top racing body, such as Aprilia, one can only expect the best. One of the results of such an endeavor is the 2011 Dorsoduro 750, a bike which makes full and good use of the hybrid trellis-aluminum racing frame and finely-tuned engine. | ||
Add in ride-by-wire, three riding modes, premium injection derived form the racing programs, fully adjustable suspensions and 2-channel ABS for safe braking even in the nastiest of scenarios and have these blended with the aggressive riding stance and you'll get the picture of how middleweight supermotards should look like. | Add in ride-by-wire, three riding modes, premium injection derived form the racing programs, fully adjustable suspensions and 2-channel ABS for safe braking even in the nastiest of scenarios and have these blended with the aggressive riding stance and you'll get the picture of how middleweight supermotards should look like. | ||

The 2014 My Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 ABS sports a liquid-cooled, four-valve, 749cc L-twin that produces 92 horsepower and 82 Nm of torque. It is a fun supemotard mainly because of its Aprilia sportbike DNA, and the fact that maximum torque is achieved near the mid-rev range only makes it more gritty. | The 2014 My Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 ABS sports a liquid-cooled, four-valve, 749cc L-twin that produces 92 horsepower and 82 Nm of torque.
