Ride the revolutionary Aprilia Mana at 2009 London Motorexpo

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia will appear at the London Motorexpo at Canary Wharf next week with a range of stunning bikes from its 2009 portfolio – including the revolutionary Mana 850 and the much-anticipated RSV4 Factory superbike.

Those lucky enough to hold a motorcycle license will be able to test ride the Aprilia Mana – a bike so advanced and unique that it simply cannot be compared to any other motorcycle.

Fitted with an innovative “3 option” gearbox this is a bike for all riding experiences. The normal clutch lever has been replaced by an electronic control system leaving the rider free to relax and enjoy the journey. The gearshift can be fully automatic, operated by a simple handlebar control or by the classic pedal.

The Mana is also equipped with three engine settings (Touring, Sport, Rain) allowing the rider to select the perfect option to match any road & weather conditions at the touch of a button. There is a mode for every riding mood, whether it’s filtering through city traffic on fully automatic, or leaving the city behind you and switching to manual sport for the open road.

In simple terms, the Aprilia Mana 850 is a bike for everyone, offering the latest technology to deliver a riding experience like never before.

Aprilia will also be showcasing the impressive Aprilia RSV4 Factory – a bike that has been designed and developed entirely for competition use. The RSV4 Factory boasts the most powerful and revolutionary engine ever built by Aprilia – a super compact 999cc 65° V4 cylinder engine designed with one goal in mind: to win.

Visitors to the 2009 Motorexpo can see this spectacular bike in the metal alongside a range of other models from the 2009 Aprilia range – including the Shiver GT ABS, Dorsoduro and Tuono.
