Aprilia Caponord?
Anyone out there have any views or experiences of this bike?
I hope to soon be in the market for something along theses lines. I've looked at the obvious rivals such as the R11XXGS, KTM 950 etc. I've seen a few about but never managed to talk to someone who owns one. They look good (better than a Varadero or V-Strom IMO) & are claimed to weigh 215kg, the same as the about to released R1200GS.
I know they have basically the same engine as the other Aprilia twins & I've not heard any horror stories about any of them?
They're dry sump - is the oil tank mounted on the left as with the other models & how vulnerable is it in a fall?
Thanks in advance
Steve
