Aprilia Dorsoduro
A 750 Supermoto from Aprilia

Aprilia Supermoto from The Telegraph "It's the looks that beguile initially, and genes play a part here as the Dorsoduro is the first Aprilia styled by the creator of the Ducati Monster, Miguel Galluzzi. It has poise, purpose, aggression and visual balance all in one, and thanks to Aprilia's high build standards it's also convincingly put together. Swing a leg across the reasonably comfortable seat (another supermoto surprise) and there's a substantial feel which continues when the bike's fired up and rolling."

from motorcycle usa "First up, the design. It’s cool. There’s no two ways about it. The Dorsoduro looks every inch a stylish Supermoto, and it’s one that has the edge on the barn-door-wide Hypermotard, whose mirrors do indeed flick back to make life a tad easier, but none of that’s necessary with the Aprilia."

from Cycleworld "Oh, I wanted to like this bike. A lot. The concept—a supermotard for the street—makes sense, especially with a 90-degree V-Twin in the engine bay rather than a thumpy one-lunger. Styling is fabulous; that may just be the best ass-end in motorcycling, with twin high-rise exhausts and a stylized taillight lens squeezed in between."
