2021 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900

2021 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 closed out this model's run as the last dedicated supermotard in Aprilia's lineup, sharing its V-twin architecture with the Shiver 900 but wearing tall suspension, a wide handlebar, and street-tuned road tires instead of the naked bike's more grounded stance. This is a bike built for tight, technical roads rather than highway miles — the upright seating position and aggressive steering geometry make it happiest flicking between corners or carving up a city commute where quick direction changes matter more than outright stability. The V-twin pulls hard in the midrange, which suits the riding style this chassis was designed around: get in, get on the gas, get out. For 2021, Aprilia made no significant mechanical changes; this was a carryover year before the model was discontinued. Buyers comparing it to a 2020 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. This bike tends to attract riders coming from smaller naked bikes or standard-class machines who want more attitude and sharper handling without stepping up to a full liter-class machine, and it's bought to be ridden hard, not tucked away as an investment.
