Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 2012

Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 2012

Mixed breeds are usually robust and loyal companions. They may not have the appearance of a pedigree dog, but often combine the positive characteristics of several breeds in one creature. The Dorsoduro 1200 is also such a mongrel. And unlike most promenade mixes, it also looks good.

Relatively aggressive engine

comfortable, agile seating position.

Engine sometimes sputters

suspension needs getting used to

mild front brake.

Anyone who thought the new 8980 SMT would play an unnecessary supporting role between the 890 Adventure and 890 Duke models was probably mistaken. Rarely before has a motorbike managed to do so much what it suggests on the outside with its looks. So the 890 SMT wants to be moved in a sporty way - and can do that particularly well. However, with the fairing, the well-padded saddle and the upright seating position, even long distances are easy to master. The brakes have a firm grip and the handling feels extremely agile, even in tight corners. The motto of the 890 SMT is clearly travelling AND racing!

Powerful engine with linear power delivery

snappy braking system

playful handling, delightful angularity

reasonable touring suitability

comfortable ergonomics

universally usable

moderate fuel consumption.

Important features cost extra

sharp design does not appeal to everyone
