I do find it rather compelling. I've ridden 4 aprilias (owned 2 of them), and I've found them all really engaging and exciting. A diverse bunch: 650 Pegaso with Rotax engine, Dorsoduro 750, 450 V-twin enduro (yes, really!) and RSV1000 old-school superbike.

What bike did you get to replace your Tenere?

t7s suspension is pretty dam poor ,,,value wise the apprilia seems to have it on paper ...but that cp2 engine is a peach ..proven unit ..where the rs engines were rcalled for crank failures ....cp2 unit in the apprillia would be the best bike for sure

Not sure that it's anything more serious than a batch of components that had a faulty process.

Aprilia 660s will race in Super Twins at this year's IoM TT...if they can do that without blowing themselves to bits, then the engine's a good un!
