The Aprilia Dorsoduro was a line of V-twin-engined motorcycles part of the supermotard class produced by Aprilia since 2008. The line comprised three models: the standard 750cc model, the later 1200cc version, and the final 900cc model.
In 2014, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 ABS, a naked machine fitted with safety equipment such as an anti-lock brake system (ABS) that enhanced its overall capabilities.
It also came with the same package as the previous model, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.
Right from the factory, the bike rolled on 12-spoke front and 10-spoke rear alloy wheels and was fitted with standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a single seat, an off-set rear shock absorber, and a dual exhaust system with two mufflers mounted under the seat.
Brembo was in charge of the braking power with two 320 mm stainless steel floating wave discs on the front and a 240 mm stainless steel wave disc on the rear. The front wheel was controlled by four-piston calipers and the rear one by a single-piston caliper.
As for suspension, the motorcycle packed a 43 mm adjustable inverted telescopic fork on the front, an aluminum alloy swingarm, and an adjustable off-set horizontally mounted shock absorber on the rear.
In the power department, the 2014 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 ABS had its soul brought to life by a 749cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine mounted underneath the fuel tank, delivering an output power of 92 hp at 8,750 rpm and 81 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque at 4,500 rpm.
