New Aprilia

Came across this the other day while internet shopping, looks like a bit of a hooligan machine, might have to go look at them

Looks good..................reasonably priced too

they get good reviews but they are pretty basic as far as suspension goes
No adjustability on the front and only preload on the back from memory.
Get what you pay for I guess

I wouldn't worry too much about the suspension. By all reports Aprilia has got it pretty right.

Heaps of adjustability in damping etc is great to have, if you use it, but frankly the vast majority of riders really only play with preload and have no idea what they are doing with rebound and compression damping adjustments.

There have been rumours of a 1200 version!
