Best for: Built for aggressive backroad carving, tight canyon corners, and urban hooliganism rather than long-distance cruising.

The 2020 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 is a supermoto that does exactly what it promises. The 896cc engine produces 93.9 hp and 90 Nm, which suits the bike's character well. With an 870 mm seat and a 212 kg weight, it is best suited to nimble, fun riding in town and on twisty roads, although the seat is not made for long journeys. A good option if it matches the way you ride.
