We have been hearing that to challenge KTM, Italian versatile two-wheeler manufacturer Aprilia is going to enter India. Low capacities Aprilia 125s or 200s may turn into reality sooner or later, but their bigger sibling are currently being sold in India through Piaggio commercial vehicle dealerships as CBUs. We visited such a dealership in Pune to find out what Aprilia has to offer in India as of now. You’ll be stunned to see the type of bikes displayed over there, from World Superbike Championship dominator RSV4 Factory to innovative tourer Mana 850 GT. There are total 8 versions of 4 bikes Aprilia has to offer for us – RSV4, Tuono V4, Dorsoduro 1200, Mana 850 GT. Let’s find out the details.
