The Aprilia Dorsoduro was a line of V-twin-engined motorcycles part of the supermotard class manufactured by Aprilia from 2008. The range comprised three models: the standard 750cc model, the later 1200cc version, and the final 900cc model.
In 2010, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Dorsoduro 750, a naked motorcycle in the third consecutive year of production, packing the exact specifications as previous models without significant changes.
In addition, alongside the 2010 Dorsoduro 750, the maker introduced the Dorsoduro 1200 model, which shared few elements with its smaller sister. The Dorsoduro 1200 model had more in common with the Aprilia Caponord 1200 made in 2013.
The Dorsoduro 750 had standard features, like a small front cowl with a single headlight unit, a high-mounted front fender, a one-piece dual seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, and 12-spoke alloy wheels.
As for the power figures, the Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 had its heartbeat set by a 749cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine mounted at its core, boasting 91 hp with maximum strength at 8,750 rpm and 81 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque at 4,500 rpm.
The bike's power was handled by a six-speed transmission with a hydraulically operated wet multi-plate clutch that redirected the energy to the rear end via a final chain drive, launching the motorcycle to a top speed of 203 kph (126 mph).
