Additional photos of this 2009 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 are available here for your perusal.
After the Piaggio takeover in 2004, the first new bikes to come from Aprilia were the Shiver and the Dorsoduro. Though two models were built on the same platform, they couldn’t have been more different in their aesthetics. The former was envisioned as a sort of spirited daily rider, simple and naked save for its angular headlight and tail. The latter, on the other hand, boasted some pretty aggressive styling for its time — something that looked like the lovechild of a KTM Duke and a Ducati Hypermotard.
At the heart of the Dorosoduro was an Aprilia-designed 749cc, 90-degree, 8-valve v-twin. Capable of putting down 92 horses and 60lb-ft of torque, it made for a lively combination when paired with the bike’s quick steering and short gearing. What’s more, Aprilia fitted the engine with an adjustable ECU, enabling three different riding modes and scalable power depending on the rider’s desired throttle response.
Upon the Dorosoduro’s release, Cycle World noted in a review that “A claimed dry weight of 409 pounds helps the bike feel light and lively. Ample suspension travel (6.3 inches front and rear) allowed the Dorsoduro to digest bumps in the hills surrounding Rome in impeccable fashion. It’s very stable, permitting a quick pace on rough roads in tricky conditions.”
