Same thing here in the States, though I'm fortunate enough to live close to a quality dealer. Aprilia bikes are massively underrated, imo. The Caponord seems to follow in that tradition.
Hey Adam, MCN gives the best reviews. I'm about to get a Caponord after owning a Tiger 1050 for a while. I've watched and read a lot of reviews and I've noticed something, Americans tend to review the Caponord more harshly than the Europeans, often commenting on "soft" suspension or saying it is not so good in the twisties. I have heard few of these criticisms from our friends across the pond. Why do you think American motorcycle journalists often review bikes more harshly? It seems to be a thing.
Better cameras : check better mics : not yet it seems Good channel layout : surprisingly, yes, ten points for dividing the different videos up into nice channel lists
Ever ridden a BMW R-series? The old 1150RT and the current 1200RT are a dream on the road. They handle great and ride like Cadillacs. They look huge, but do not feel huge when riding. Take care!
aprilia make some really awesome bikes that are priced extremely competitively, the problem here in France at least is that the dealers are awful, 3 of them have closed down in my town, not because they aren't selling but because nobody uses the official dealers for anything else.
What is it with packaged panniers? Can they be any fuglier? I think only Triumph and Kawasaki manage to do it well (Kwaks use Givis). I actually wrote this bike off until I happened to see one without panniers - in Oz they only come with panniers.
Brilliant, another 'adventure' bike. Almost as exciting as when Suzuki unvieled their 2012 GSX-R's. That was really special. Someone do something interesting PLEASE!
OH please Aprilia, put this engine in a proper sports tourer. Perhaps a new Falco..... As a rider for over 20 years it is sooooooo annoying that no one makes a proper sports tourer anymore!
Why don't you see more of these on the road, they ain't that bad and every ....'. got a multistrada and can't use it's extra performance!, and they are a few grand cheaper for the same year, I guess people just put image before common sense these days! .
Just got mine...what a pleasure ride. Thumb up Aprilia

Wonderful bike, surely not for a dirt use like a 1200 GS, but a real tourer. Very good job aprilia

The thing looks immense. I just dont get these SUV bikes. To each his own, but damn...

Good try on this video. Maybe it could be used as a wet weather driving safety video.
those who do not think like you probably.
The US actually gets most models and half the price of what most countries get. Luck you! :)
It seemed to me that the rider was fighting in turns with a motorcycle

who needs Ducati style and "flair" ... the multistrada is not stylish in my point of view, looks like an angry bird with a huge snorkel-beek
Kaponnaard, wtf is that
id rather push my triumph home than ride that heap of shit
