Great bike. General question, I'm looking to buy a motorcycle but I'm about 6'4 220, I want a street style bike but something that's comfortable to ride on, is this aprilla a bigger version of the ducati 646? I was also considering the BMW r1200 enduro style bike as well. Thanks for any help.
Hi Man No problem to answer i had my 690 for 1 year 6 months i loved the bike then i started getting major electrical problems with the bike and seeing that it had only done 5000 miles after spending a good chunk of money trying to have it fixed i got a great trade in against the brand new Dorsoduro 750. I dont regret it the Aprillia is a nice bike not as mad as the KTM 690 single but i love the V Twin Cheers
Ive got a test ride booked on one next week . I have a Suzuki DRZ 400 right now that i love but seen this Dorsoduro in my local bike dealers it looks awesome. also have Honda X4 1300 dont know if wife will let me have any more bikes ha ha
Took this bike out last week from my dealers for a test i was dissapointed. it did not feel like a 750 i was expecting a crazy ride but it felt very tame. I asked the salesman about this when i took the bike back , he said it has 3 different modes and it was set on road mode . i prefer my DRZ
smc or duke or what ktm :P? im just wondering since im planning on getting the 690 duke and was wondering why you would want to trade it to this aprilia ?
Random fact. In the shitty tom cruise movie Day and Knight he is riding a Ducati and doing stunts on it, however the bike is actually a Dorsoduro with Ducati badge on it as the Ducati couldnt do the jumps and such that this SM can. I like this bike better
For a 5'10" person will this bike be all right the seat height is pretty high compared to my rsv if any dorso owners could let me know that's my only concern about this bike.
12 litre full tank put me off as my Suzuki has way more fuel capacity and my Suzuki is not the best on fuel it self amzing lookibg bike cna pick one up for £4000 second hand just a shame i dont have the money
i would trade my imaginary girlfriend for that bike! Cause im a nerd! Who needs women when you have a wonderful italian bike? Im Ultra-Ugly and women hate me! But i love motorcycles! Thats keepin me alive!
@hyweltthomas If it was a 98+ Superhawk, I would tell my girl to put her best dress on, then we can do a straight up trade. I'll even throw in some pans and laundry soap with the girl.
I bought one of these two weeks ago. I love it!!! But.... someone already backed into it in the parking lot :,(

Let's see... The KTM 950SM, Du-cat Hypermotard, or the Aprilia...?
Which one would be the best all 'rounder with kick ass backroad 200 mile days?

oh i see man thanks for your reply. However just out of curiosity do you know if the bike had been remapped ?
smc or duke or what ktm :P? im just wondering since im planning on getting the 690 duke and was wondering why you would want to trade it to this aprilia ?
I have a new Shiver (very similar) and I love it...the Dorsoduro is an excellent bike!
Any shorter owner of DD here? Im 5 7 can barely put my feet flat on the ground.. Maybe its too high for me?
which are cheap maintenance dursoduro or smc?

@DR1ZERO Huffy?
@brutalkidde15 approximately 230 km/h
whats this bikes top speed?
I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!!!!
Any dorso rider can say what kind of exp they are having?
i'm asking my self the same question :s
I c more Yamaha XTX driving over here then that :s and the xtx is unpowered :s
@dan69girls420 Would you do the same for an old Honda Hawk in my mate's shed? I could do with a new girlfriend and the bike's getting in the way.
i don't like the exhaust though
Just stick it in sport mode and get on on it! LOTS O' Torque! No clutch required.
Got it, hell yeah...
of course
What the fuck happens with TH-cam where I can't watch fullscreen vids at night...?!
I totaly agree with you :D:D:D
@deathmare88 all the more reason to trade dude.
12 litre full tank put me off as my Suzuki has way more fuel capacity and my Suzuki is not the best on fuel it self
amzing lookibg bike cna pick one up for £4000 second hand just a shame i dont have the money
Am in the middle of buying one im trading my KTM 690 for it

@dan69girls420 for that you need an expensive car. plus..girls are atracted to sport bikes or choppers. they don't give a sh.t about super motards
The guy cant ride...
i would trade my imaginary girlfriend for that bike! Cause im a nerd! Who needs women when you have a wonderful italian bike? Im Ultra-Ugly and women hate me! But i love motorcycles! Thats keepin me alive!
Real shit¡¡ Forza DUCATI¡¡¡
@dan69girls420 I would also trade ur girlfriend for this bike. Would you trade her for a second hand bicycle, i have one and might just do business.
@hyweltthomas If it was a 98+ Superhawk, I would tell my girl to put her best dress on, then we can do a straight up trade. I'll even throw in some pans and laundry soap with the girl.
I did that exact trade for mine…is your superhawk blue?
I would trade my girlfriend for this bike.
