2009 Aprilia Mana Review

[administrator]

There's a good chance a few folks out there have heard little or next to nothing about the Aprilia Mana 850, introduced in July 2008. The Mana is something of a revolutionary motorcycle, and like all revolutions, there is, or will be, those for and those against the cause.

The old guard in motorcycling, upon hearing of this new machine for a new age, may scoff and sneer, saying, "It's not really a motorcycle!" And a fresh generation of riders embracing two wheels for the first time will retort with, "It is so a motorcycle, old man!" Indeed, those shouting "old man" might just be old men themselves, as many re-entry riders comprise a portion of today's motorcycling masses.

What is it about this new Aprilia that might create such a dust-up? The Mana 850 is a fully automatic transmission motorcycle.
