Critical: Aprilia SMV 750 Dorsoduro

The test of approximately 550 km was carried out on a trip through San Clemente to Route 2, on a day trip to the wonderful and intense drizzle back. The Aprilia SMV 750 Dorsoduro is a two-cylinder engine in V 90 ° 749 cc, dual camshaft to the head and four valves per cylinder. Electronic injection has spent, according to the manual, 92 hp. The front suspension is 43mm inverted fork, adjustable pre-load and Showa brand extension with a distance of 160mm. The rear suspension is a German Sachs shock absorber, adjustable for preload and length with a distance of 160 mm. It has front brakes in lobed floating 320 mm stainless steel clamps with four pistons Apri. Lobed The rear brakes are made of stainless steel of 240 mm with single piston caliper Aprilia. The measures are 120/70-17 front tire and 180/55-17 rear, with alloy wheels.

The driving position is comfortable, upright type trial, with a handle width Protaper enduro type of one piece of aluminum. It is ideal for absorbing vibration. I did not noticed any in the whole trip. Comes with fists covering that meet its function. The mirrors would be better off: they have low vision, but you are great. The display marks the quartz speed, engine temperature, speed, odometer and average consumption. You can calibrate the system returns to program the tachometer to change how many RPM pass through an orange light that lights up when it reaches the programmed regime. The dashboard can be configured into eleven languages. Fortunately the Spanish is included. You can also adjust the intensity of light on the screen. All this is done with a small joystick that is located on the left wrist, easily command with the thumb. No need to be a systems analyst to perform the operations.

The sun face is difficult to read LCD screen, which is not the case with the tachometer, which is similar, easy to read and very nice. Just short of a fuel gauge to indicate in real time how much is in the tank. Remove from over and is averaging an ending guessing. With 12 liters in the tank and when the light turns orange is not one that you slow down and pray that the next service station is not closed. Autonomy is very poor. A detail: it is necessary to put the peak of the deepest possible range, because the tank and quickly drowns you shorebirds "baptized" the bike with great ease.

The electronic engine management with a choice of three mappings driver: Sport, Touring and Rain. The change is made with the same button, or contact with the engine running. Pressed the button and will appear in the upper left corner of the display the letters S, T and R. Neither is it needs to be nuclear physicist for such operation. Electrical commands are mild, the embreague and brake levers are adjustable and the clutch is hydraulic: tired a little in town if you have the habit of carrying the bike in gear at every stoplight. The brake has a good touch and holds a lot. Its not dilate hoselines steel and paper. Your help too tweezers four pistons and discs of 320 mm and also for the rear. If you want to stop, and seriously slows.

Al must acostrumbrarse seat is narrow and has a nonslip material. I used to make long journeys trial and enduro bikes, but I recognize that if you go out on the road, it helps to have little autonomy: it is an excuse to fill the tank and fit the line. The engine features a nice sound and acceleration in vacuum, suggests that despite having two cylinders is not a Transalp: its box, by placing the first, but it sounds enter decisively. Along the clutch, leaving no need to accelerate. The engine covers more than 1,000 RPM and torque to spare.

Now comes the cute.

In mapping Sport displaying all their testosterone. The torque is impressive and we need courage or insanity to accelerate. Noticed their horses. From 4000 RPM fires. The front wheel is off very easily and, while not being noticed, the back skating moves. The second goes well and the tire triggered creaks. It should be loose, because it's so fun and dangerous. Responds in its six-speed always the same: to go forward, turn, brake and accelerates like a Honda CBR. His velocity is 200 km / h. On route offers great security. Without having to download a change you can overcome any vehicle, but a lower addictive feel the power to change.

Although in the running order to easily reach 200 pounds, the weight is noticeable. It is agile and fun in the curves and straight lines. Only annoying turbulence at high speed. The protection of the driver is limited. Not a bike for speed. Definitely it is the mountains and the city. I think that their aesthetic is superb: beautiful, elegant, racing, the most beautiful. It is an ego feeder. On the street, we were welcomed as if Valentino Rossi. You look as if you were David Beckham and fulfills its mission as Supermotard desirable. I say this only because it is true, despite the fact that the only thing that interests me when I walk on a motorcycle is to enjoy. But who does not like to flatter your girl?

I put back in Touring mapping. The velocity does not change. Noted in the delivery of power, which is not wild. Not for nothing loses its share racing. Halfway worsened over time. The mist was rising and began to decrease speed. I stopped at a station to fill the tank and have a coffee, waiting for the rain to pass. After several cafes and a few cigarettes, I decided to continue despite the drizzle. I changed the mapping to Rain and left slowly. Not spent more than 100km / h. Experience served as notice that this setting helps a lot in wet floor. The acceleration is linear and completely disappears testosterone, even though the trigger. It is completely out. Overnight rain and noticed that the dispersion of water is quite good. You just sprinkle water on the footwear. Lighting would be better. Arranged with a xenon lamp. I think it's a super fun bike, ideal for the city and the curves. Perhaps it is expensive, but justified the $ 19,700 in exchange for a 750cc it is a jewel of Italy. Is refined, it meets all that transmits and promises, does not disappoint. It is ideal for those who want to have fun without unnoticed. Only U.S. dollars are needed and the courage to mount. I just was lucky that I provide.
