2003 Aprilia Futura RST1000, great condition, 23K miles, new tires and chain, runs perfect. Just returned from a cross country trip and I'm cleaning house. I'm being told that 7 motorcycles are too many! Strong bullet proof Electronic Fuel Injected 1,000cc V twin Rotax engine, excellent Brembo brakes, all-day comfort seat, 12 volt/USB power port, Heli bars for a comfortable riding position. Lockable, easily removable saddlebags. Winner of Cycle Worlds ten best bikes.
A few scratches, including the left saddlebag in photo. $3800 OBO. Located in Santa Barbara. If you're in the area you are welcome to come by and see it. Aprilia RST 1000 Futura - Best Used Bikes Best Sport-Touring Bike, 2001. By Cycle World August 12, 2010 Why it won: The angularly styled Futura (which, in its matte black version, does a fair imitation of an F-117 stealth fighter) places its major emphasis on the "sport" half of its sport-touring mission. Its engine, based on that of the RSV Mille repli-racer, was retuned for more midrange, but its aluminum chassis is all its own. Its standout features include a single-sided swingarm, an under-tail exhaust, quick-detach hard saddlebags and the most comfortable seat ever bolted onto any motorcycle that had the word "sport" in its description. On the open highway, the Futura is a pleasant ride, even though its semi-sporty riding position is not quite as long-day comfy as that of some other bikes in the category. But on a twisty backroad, it carves up the curves just about as effectively as its racier sibling. From the 2001 Ten Best story: "The Mille-based V-Twin makes competitive power, and its twin-spar aluminum chassis elevates class standards for handling. And the styling...well, love it or leave it, the Italian designers deserve credit for daring to be different." |

Thu, 11 Mar 2010FULLY ADJUSTABLE suspension, Brembo brakes, wavy discs, fly-by-wire throttle - there's plenty of hi-tech stuff on Aprilia's 2010 Dorsudoro 750 Factory, and here's a promo video of the bike in action.

Moto3. Recession racers?
Mon, 08 Nov 2010I've sat through enough manufacturer' presentations recently to know that we're in trouble. Ignoring the still booming Asian markets, the rest of the motorcycle World is in free-fall. Even looking at the figures optimistically we're still only selling half the volumes we were in pre-crash 2006.
2014 WSBK – Laguna Seca Results
Mon, 14 Jul 2014Marco Melandri rebounded from last week’s disappointing Portimao round to win Race One at Laguna Seca while Tom Sykes extended his championship lead with a win in a red-flagged Race Two. Melandri got taken out of the second Portimao race after his Aprilia teammate Sylvain Guintoli slid into his RSV4. Melandri looked eager to make up for that DNF, leading every lap of Race One on his way to his third win of the season.
