Aprilia USA on Tour: The 2007 Model Portfolio

In addition to the race-bred motorcycles and scooters featured in Aprilia’s mobile showroom, the 2007 Aprilia new model line includes the following performance choices:

RSV 1000 R Factory and RSV 1000 R. Experience Aprilia’s top-of-the-line, race-bred V-Twin supersports and discover precisely why the Factory version earned the 2006 “Masterbike” award, a prestigious media accolade that recognizes the fastest series motorcycle in the world. A category leading collection of exotic materials, high-tech components, sophisticated technology and chassis refinements distinguish both bikes as uniquely Aprilia.

The Tuono 1000 R Factory and Tuono 1000 R. Aprilia’s award-winning naked bike blends the soul of a race bike with the reality of riding even go-fast guys demand reliability and superb ergonomics. Whether you’re curious to sample the magical responsiveness and super technology of the Tuono R, or the 139 hp, Ohlins race-suspension sporting Tuono 1000 R Factory, you’ll never go back to ordinary Twins after flicking the throttle of an Aprilia Tuono.

ETV 1000 Caponord is the perfect mix between functionality and design. This “total tourer” can tackle the town, the trail and the interstate, all with a passion for delivering a sporty ride. Aprilia’s touring Twin packs plenty of value on top of excellent performance and ride comfort. Standard features range from active safety elements like tubeless spoke rims to a multi-function digital and analog instrument panel for the ultimate in navigation convenience.

RXV 450/550 is a trail-specific powerhouse that integrates an exceptionally tough frame with the superior power and torque of Aprilia’s ultra-compact V-Twin. Exceptional rigidity, competition-grade components, such as category-leading brakes, and ease-of-maintenance all combine to create a serious challenge to conventional off-road machines.

SXV 450/550 is the Supermoto edition, the direct descendent of the Aprilia that won the World S2 Supermoto title during its debut season. Tuned for the track, the SXV delivers all the right elements to win races plenty of torque for the straightaways, Grand Prix-level brake performance for aggressive maneuvering and just the right overall rigidity to keep riders in control on both asphalt and dirt.

Scarabeo 500 i.e. is an all-new member of the family. Almost 50 pounds lighter than its predecessor, this sporty ride is scooter, tourer and urban commuter all in one technically advanced package. Featuring large wheels, extensive safety features and superior ride comfort, this scooter is the true embodiment of Aprilia’s “automatic motorcycle” concept.

Sportcity 250 is the next new attraction in Aprilia’s scooter portfolio. Headed to dealers during early summer, the potent SportCity is designed to set the performance bar in the mid-size scooter category. Standard urban warfare equipment includes a powerful, fuel-injected four-stroke, large wheels and impressive brakes that literally stop on a dime.

Mojito 150 is Aprilia’s sexy interpretation of the classic Italian scooter but with plenty of unique American style. Inspired by America’s Fifties era muscle cars, the Mojito also pays homage to American custom bikes, thanks to liberal use of chrome. SR 50 R is the ultimate pit scooter or weekend run-about. The SR 50 R’s aggressive styling is inspired by the Aprilia RSV 1000 R sport bike, making it a unique way of expressing your need for speed even when you’re just zipping to the post office, or pit to pit.
