REE WITH APRILIA
out and about all day on the road circuit, as well
as on the bends of the south Auckland circuit.
New models on display, as well as available for
riding, included the RSV4 Factory, Tuono 1100
Factory, Dorsoduro 900 and Shiver 900. For 2018
the RSV4 and Tuono get colour updates after
big braking and electronics updates for 2017.
The Dorsoduro and Shiver get a host of updates
including new engines taking capacity from
749cc to 896cc. Apparently the bore remains
the same but the engine stroke has increased
to give the new capacity, and a 82hp punch. The
Dorsoduro also gets new USD Kayaba 41mm
forks and a weight reduction. Both bikes get a
new 4.3-inch full-colour TFT dash, bringing them
bang up to date. Both 896cc bikes get fancy
RSV4RR wheels, cutting over 2kg of rotating
mass, helping them feel more nimble at speed.
