Very interesting machine, if you don't mind sharing what is the price point? I may have to ride over to our local Aprillia Stealership and have a look. Oh and I am sure my wife is going to thank you for posting that link

Good looking bike...but word round the campfire is Pril is having some issues with the new engines.

Why not a Hypermotard?

1100cc vs 750cc. It's an insurance thing. Oh and the Duc is a lot more money for not much more product. That 750 puts out pretty close to the same power as the HyperMotard

60 ft-lb at 4500 RPM. And yeah it's a little heavier than that hypermotard, but I like the idea of a water cooled engine.
