It's a 2011 Dorsoduro 750. A consignment sale at a local dealer who used to sell Aprilias. Has only 858 miles on the odo; and simply priced way low for me to pass up.

Congrats! You won't stop smiling every time you ride it.

Thanks. Picking it up tomorrow after it's inspected (
the dealer for some reason doesn't do inspections
). I'll probably sell my under-utilized F800S to make some room in the garage.

Nice! I tested one of those the other year and really liked the sweet motor and chassis. Enjoy!

Well today I learn it's a 2009; not a 2011 (they have a used 1200cc DD as well and the salesman got 'confused'). Still a good deal.

Woot! What a fun bike.
Nice upright riding position. Good turning angle. Easy shifting. Clean air at highway speeds and the mirrors are actually useable. Snarly stock exhaust note. I was a bit concerned about the rear turn signals having been changed out for LED's until I read on the Aprilia forum that the stock turn signals' design is crappy and they're prone to just breaking off. Will take a longer ride tomorrow.

Put 230 miles on it today, from Annapolis to High Rock & back. Last 80 miles or so my butt was killing me - the stock seat's definitely not an all-dayer.

$132 for a gel seat, but owners don't think it's an improvement. Pretty though.

I'm going to 'borrow back' the Airhawk cushion I gave to Rue for her Ninja and see how much of a diff it makes. I also have some T-foam to experiment with modifying the stock seat.

...a Japanese manufacturer might take the motor, castrate it to about 110 hp and stick it in a cheaper, heavier chassis with low-spec suspension and brakes and slice an ‘R’ or two off the name. That’s not how Aprilia roll

Absolutely. It looks the best in black. More sinister.

There's a school of thought in bicycle racing that you just hafta log long hours in the saddle to develop a "butt callous"
