While many manufacturers fall into the trap of claiming their bikes are uncompromising yet utterly versatile and suited to all types of rider, Aprilia has gone the other way. They seem to be saying, we built this bike to be the best at what it's designed to do, and as a consequence don't expect it to do all this other stuff. I sort of believe them.
The SMV 750 Dorsoduro is Aprilia's new, road-going supermoto. In one sense, it looks a bit like their existing Shiver model, and indeed it shares some components. It's powered by a 750cc, 90°, V-twin motor, producing 92hp (as opposed to the Shiver's 95hp), runs a second-generation version of their ride-by-wire throttle system and takes all its design cues from a supermoto rather than a naked street-bike.
