My friend is thinking of buying a new Aprilia Mana 850. I love the bike, so I'm aware of the positives. Anyone has any negative comments?
Aprilia 850 is certainly one of the good models in Aprilia's inventory. It is a highly efficient motorbike with engine mapping modes and a unique Gear System that allows automatic or semi-automatic control of the drive system for sports performance. It is certainly one of the best and it is more suitable in urban regions.
The best thing I like about Aprilia 850 Mana is its engine layout and its rear shock which adjusts itself automatically according to road conditions.
Part of the massive Piaggio Group, the origins of Aprilia date back to just after the Second World War, when its founder, Alberto Beggio, established a factory in Noale, province of Venice, to manufacture bicycles.
The products of this small workshop laid the foundation for innovation, quality and technological capabilities that have become Aprilia trademarks.
Initially shown at the 2006 EICMA Milan Bike Show, the Aprilia Mana 850 was released as a 2007 model in Europe and has now made its way across the pond as the 2009 Aprilia 850 Mana.
Giving Aprilia its due, this is not a concept machine like those currently being shown by many other manufacturers, but a well-designed and finely executed two-wheeler that looks, feels and handles like an extremely competent mid-displacement sports motorcycle.
Although admittedly less hard-edged than its smaller sibling the 750 Shiver, the Mana has all the performance and handling goodies found on other sports-oriented Aprilia models. Aprilia is renowned for its sports machines and the Mana does nothing to change detract from that reputation.
The Mana is brilliant but getting spares isnt I was hit off mine 4 months ago and CANT GET PARTS PLEASE APRILIA SEND MY PARTS ITS BEEN 4MONTHS!!!!!!!!!
