I do think I have just, oh, a few hours ago, ridden one of the the most potent she-beasts in my memory. It is the first V-Four Aprilia I’ve ever experienced, and it is also a true race bike with lights (but still has that amazing polish that Aprilia is so famous for). It is a really bee-utiful blend of torque, horsepower and wicked-quick violence, yet it still has that amazing Aprilia polish that makes this marque so freakin’ special.

But man, this thing is strong. There’s something special here, and I’ve ridden a lot of very potent motorcycles in my day. This thing is different. It has stones the size of the erratics that sit atop Mt. Cadillac in Maine. This means nothing to most, but much who have made the ride to the top.I have this bike for a couple of weeks. We shall share, and Gain Strength from the Sharing.
