Title: New to me motorcycle
Post by: NeoGenesisMax on August 30, 2015, 02:14:33 AM

Bought my first motorcycle today.  Aprilia Mana

I'm still getting used to the different riding style but I really like it so far. Only 3200 miles on it.

 I considered the Mana and even made a trip to L.A. to checkout a used one, before I bought my Kymco xciting 500Ri.
Good luck with your Mana.

Ride Safe,

Doc

I already know more about it than the previous owner. He couldnt figure out how to change the automatic modes.

Neat bike. I rode one a couple of weeks ago. Put it to the test with some twisty roads in the NC mountains. The "sport" mode kept the gearing down and provided more engine braking going down hill and entering the curves. Tried the "manual" shifting but went back to auto when it became aparant the tranny was smarter than me!
Sure enjoyed the 70HP when giving the throttle a whack. Wish I had the Dinero to buy it since the owner was thinking about selling it.

Just starting to get riding it down to second nature. I really like that it isnt a loud bastard mobile. I hate super loud bikes. I do like the growl it lets out when you really open the throttle though.
