The Aprilia ETX 350 embodies the perfect blend of on-road refinement and off-pavement prowess, making it an intriguing challenger in the dual-purpose bike market. With its robust engine character, the ETX 350 delivers a distinct riding experience that sets it apart from its competitors.
Its strong points are evident in its exceptional build quality, outshining many other dual-purpose bikes on the market, including Honda’s XL 350. While the Honda may have an edge in terms of engine performance, the Aprilia makes up for it with an impressive array of standard features, including an oil cooler, luggage rack, disc brakes, and electric starting.
However, the ETX 350 still faces a stiff challenge from its Japanese rivals, particularly when it comes to pricing. With a likely price tag $300 to $400 higher than the XL 350, the choice between these two bikes will be a difficult one for potential buyers. Nonetheless, the Aprilia ETX 350 is an exciting addition to the dual-purpose market that is sure to turn heads and generate interest among enthusiasts.
