Recently released, the Aprilia Mana 850 seems to be making only a lukewarm impression in the motorcycling world. CVT (Countinuously Variable Transmissions) are typically used in cruisers and tour bikes destined to be ridden be middle aged riders that would rather have a nice smooth ride than worry about shifting gears.This bike does apparently have some power. However, if you are an adrenalin junkie you have been given fair warning. Can NOT wheelie.
For those adventure riders out there who dream of riding hundreds of miles to your favorite forest trail and camp ground, this bike will likely not to it. The CVT can be very flexible and useful in an urban environment, the positive, immediate control of the bike is lost once a rider takes it off the asphalt.
But, if you are just interested in a smooth, sporty ride that is well constructed, this might be worth a look. With a price tag of $16,990 you should probably have that second job lined up.
