When these bikes are running, they are first rate. BUT... if it breaks down and beleive me, it will, and you can't find the problem your in trouble. Even the Aprilia dealer will say" Sorry, we don't repair Ditechs" No carburettor and nothing to really look at to repair. Mostly reset by computers when gone wrong, but you'll struggle to find one in the UK. More customer after sales care needed by Aprilia !!
