The wall of coolness

[JATZ]

New Aprilia Tuareg with 750cc engine off the Dorsoduro and the Shiver with 21/18 wheels.

Hmmm you like......yes no maybe.....

Hmmm....... not really, the front almost looks KTMish or like the new tenere. Prolly a nice bike, like the other 2, just not something I'd own.

just my 2 rupees worth

KTM are making Aprilia's now? Or just using their tools- Kinda like the KLX/DRZ thing?

[Willdat?]

Except for the 'when men were men' bit ..or '20 hp' (can a bike be said to have 20hp if it doesnt run?)...Oh, and any reference to running bikes...
Sorry Willdat, couldn't resist

Mine runs...apparently, just no lighting at this stage.

DR250S Stator is leaving CHCH today hopefully, and the DR actually only has 17hp...though mine is 0.5 O/S now so that's got to be 0.1 HP given that it's 256 odd cc.

I'd take that Aprillia - it does look like someone stuck red stickers on JMJ's bike though...

JAWA. The name says it all.

Nice one Bugs.

I've got a picture of my Grandfather on his BSA just before he went to WW2 (spent 3 years POW, poor bugger).

One of the only things I kept after he died (aged 86) was the original BSA owners manual.

WTF.. if you think its cool mate put it on.

The original intention was for this thread not to turn into a DR vs KLR slagging match that a lot of threads seem to descend into. Happily though there have been bikes of both persuasions featured. Doesn't have to be cool though as it's a continuum from subzero (BMW HP2) thru to the 'why did they bother' (FT400)

thats what i said

Last time I checked, Aprilia was still owned by Piaggio, along with Derbi, Moto Guzzi and Vespa to name a few

and Gilera.

It was buying Aprilia that killed the Gilera SS600

I reckon this is pretty cool , maybe because it just looks like a miniature africa twin ??
Never knew such a beast existed.
