The Aprilia has been perfected for the 2015 model year. It is easier to ride, but at the same time significantly stronger and faster. It scores points especially on corner entry with great feedback from the front wheel, terrific handling and lots of grip. The V4 enchants with its gripping sound and buttery response.

still great looks that appeal to everyone but are never mainstream

compact V4 engine in a sophisticated chassis = great handling

great engine tuning including well-designed engine brake control

great traction control with practical fine-tuning at the left-hand end of the handlebars.
