Aprilia SXV 450 - First Ride

Aprilia is re-inventing itself. Renowned at the end of last century as a purveyor of championship-winning sportbikes (some kid named Valentino Rossi won 125cc and 250cc world titles on them), the Italian company is, in the wake of its recent purchase by Piaggio, returning to its off-road roots. The more

2004 Mille: A Quick Look

Word on the street is that Aprilia has a well-sorted, fully developed redesign of its flagship superbike, the Mille. Aprilia reportedly entertained ideas of releasing this bike at last year's Intermot Show as a 2003 model; this obviously didn't happen, so it's more

Aprilia Futura

We sat by the phone, roving reporter T. Carrithers and me, for as long as we could. Scott Russell was out for a while (with damaged extremities) and Aaron Slight had opted to drive British Touring Cars instead of AMA Superbikes, leaving at least two Ducati rid more

Aprilia SL1000 Falco R

Here's something else we don't understand: Why are half-faired sportbikes--with the possible exception of the Yamaha FZ1--perennial sales-sheet backmarkers, dusty chicanes that hot-selling superbikes must pass en route to the feverish hands and open checkbooks more

The Falco Fix

A single miscue on Aprilia's part in specifying a shock and the Falco is hobbled for those of us with a penchant for barbecue sandwiches and the need for size-46 suits. Not for long, though, thanks to Traxxion Dynamics. Previously known more to racers than the more

Aprilia SL1000 Falco - Road Test

We loved Aprilia's RSV Mille very much when we finally got the chance to have one around for a while (April '00). In the curvies it was a hoot, on the track it was even better, but on the ride home it was a bit of a pain in the butt. Not the butt so much as the wrists, really. more
