Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki ER-6n 2010

ABS

wider handlebars

slimmer waist

increased intake noise

comfortable seat

uncomplicated chassis.

None

Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 2010

The Dorsoduro 750 proves to be a well-balanced all-rounder that masters the balancing act between suitability for everyday use and riding pleasure. The then innovative electronic throttle control has proven to be reliable and, in combination with the characterful V2 engine, enables a wide range of uses. The combination of good-natured handling for beginners and sufficient potential for experienced riders is particularly convincing. The few technical weaknesses are well documented and predictable.

Three selectable mapping curves with different characters

very elastic engine with a wide operating range

good-natured handling

high-quality brake package with bite

balanced suspension

practical maintenance intervals

seating position suitable for everyday use

12-litre tank too small limits range

water pump shows weaknesses after 40,000 km

frequent adjustment of secondary chain necessary

costly valve clearance check every 20,000 km

suspension a little too firm at higher speeds
