Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 2019
Supermoto with strong naked bike genes. The Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 is the perfect choice for those who are looking for the feeling of a genuine supermoto, but do not want to do without the comfort and convenience of a naked bike. Its pleasantly smooth V2 and well-tuned chassis find a very fair compromise between emotional sports machine and everyday cruiser, which is why the Dorsoduro 900 can be recommended to a broad target group. Visual details such as the undersat exhaust or the red valve covers give it a lot of character even when stationary, even if the overall design seems a little outdated. The only downer is the operation of the display, which should have been much more intuitive.
Aprilia Shiver 900 2019
The Aprilia Shiver 900 clearly has its own peculiarities when it comes to operating the display and the riding modes - but here we'll let the Italian diva bonus pass. Because while riding, the mid-range naked bike is a real poem and lets you "waddle easily" from curve to curve. Thanks to high-quality chassis components, it can be directed as if on rails, while the 95 hp V2 transforms petrol into auditory feelings of happiness! The seating position also gives a good feeling and gives the impression that you can lift the Shiver 900 through any radius. So if you can get over the perhaps slightly dusty looks, you'll find the Aprilia a fabulous mid-range naked bike that will turn any country road rush into true soul gold!
