Aprilia SMV 750 Dorsoduro (2008)

Aprilia’s latest offering, the SMV 750 Dorsoduro, embodies the perfect blend of style and performance. Its 750cc, 90-degree V-Twin engine is a masterpiece, producing 92 horsepower at 8,750 rpm with a unique tuning that sets it apart from its Shiver sibling.

The Dorsoduro’s supermoto styling is unmistakable, with a mini-fairing wrapping partially around the Shiver headlight and an integrated front fender. The fuel tank features MX-style radiator shrouds, giving it a lean and mean appearance. With a seat height of 34.2 inches, riders will appreciate the ample legroom and lean angle provided by the footpegs.

Italian rider Andrea Padovani’s impressive fifth-place finish in the 2008 Pikes Peak Hillclimb on a stock Dorsoduro is a testament to its capabilities. Whether carving up mountain roads or tackling urban landscapes, this bike delivers an exhilarating riding experience that will leave you craving more. The Aprilia SMV 750 Dorsoduro is a true supermoto warrior, and it’s ready to take the world by storm.
