Only owned it for a month, but used it more than I have used all my other bikes.

It's exactly what it is supposed to be, a big soft Adventure Tourer and it fulfils that role to perfection. Forget all you have heard, yes there are issue's but they are well know and easy to solve

Couple of months in....

Gets better and better, zero issue's so far but now know the easy to fix week spots from the very active AP1 forums and will sort all (rectifier and plastic tank couplings)
Ride is just a pleasure, I would not alter the suspension for solo riding, the front forks are not to soft they are just right, comfort is the best I have ever owned and at 170 miles I am not even near reserve (48mpg with 25 litre tank)
This is one seriously underrated bike

EDIT January 2013

OK, so my Caponord succumbed to typical Italian issues, and was replaced with an 04 Ducati Multistrada, then a Honda Transalp 700V, then and currently a Yamaha TDM900, but none of these has got under my skin like the Aprilia Caponord, and I am now looking to change the Yamaha TDM900 for another Caponord

The fact I want another tells a story......

Do you want to buy a very clean 2007 TDM900?

I have owned my Capo for 3yrs so far. Bought in 2007 with full service. well one full service & One oil change.7'000 miles on it. Now three yrs later and coming upto 40'000 miles. The capo has had a bit of a bad press at times. But that is mainly down to the aftersales service/ Parts. however if you have internet you can source all required parts very easerly. Electrical gremlins !!! some don't get any others do. But they rarely strand you and if you do some pre-checks you can easerly sort them out before they come a problem. rectifiers tend to break down after a while but you can sence it. Before it becomes a problem and change it. coils can fail but they never strand you. Just you EFI light flash's and you change them for the better one. (crap one's are sagem/ Best one are JCI one's). They are a bit on the heavy side. But lighter then some. Handle's very well. plenty power. tyres I use Tourances and get 10k out of them. Overall Finish is very good apart from the nipples on the wheel's. I've just done the longest day on her with no problems 1757 miles in one weekend Numb bum on the last couple of hours.
Overall you get a hell of alot of bike for ya bucks.
