I bought one last weekend. 10 seconds in and I knew it was the right bike. So easy to ride.

Rode one today, what a great bike. Easy to ride fast, and the most comfortable saddle of any bike I've ever sat on. Superb balance of sport against touring.

I'm 73. best bike I've owned. why would someone not ride this more often. it's great all around. light, narrow, fast. good for old skinny people like me. you're gonna die of something. do it with fun.

Dear mr Hoose, people want to know if you are still alive.

Approaching 2024 and this bike looks amazing. I can't believe how well Aprilia predicted the future!

If you buy it a new set of led lights people could mistake it for a 2018 motorcycle

...for a 2030, maybe.

Almost bought one of these (this exact color) back in the day. Test rode it, etc. Then found out the dealer (the only one for hundreds of miles) was going to close down in a couple months, so I backed out of the deal. Have always like this bike.

I've been lucky enough to have a Honda VFR and Aprilia Futura. The 1000cc vtwin has 120hp/75tq vs the Honda VFR with 100/45 but the Honda has a superior engine. Smoother, better revs. Better sound. The Aprilia has a catalytic converter under the dry sump engine that kills the decibels. Both are supremely comfortable bikes that anyone would enjoy. More comfortable than an R1, yet keeps up with them on the streets. Both of these are great bikes for a weeekend ride out around the mountains

very good video. I didn´t know Jeff before. Congenial guy!!! I am from Germany. Very easy to understand. Which competitors of that bike does he probably talk about at the end, when talking about that they are a bit cheaper?

True sleeper and is a great all rounder for most people looking for an adventure.

A lot more bike than money these days, rode mine from Nice to London in a day, any bike you can do that on is ‘comfortable’. Commuted accros central London daily so quite flickable once you get used to it. I’m 5’7”, could have used being 5’8” plus. Buy one and head to the Alps.
