Finally comes the confirmation of the project road enduro of Aprilia . This picture shows the next light Caponord / Tuareg 1200 (the name is still shrouded in mystery), the bike that fits Noale mark in the field of terrain, a frontal attack on the Multistrada 1200 and BMW R1200GS, but with references to another bike the class, from different origins, the KTM 990 SMT .
This new creature in April, appears to be related in a way faithful to the Dorsoduro 1200 , or rather, seems to be a more enveloping fairing Dorsoduro with setting travel, luggage and more space for the passenger. Chassis, engine and chassis are those of the maxi motard presented last year. KTM How, then, we arrive at a tourism model from a fun bike, a choice that was apt for the Austrians, but which represents a niche of the niche, not an element of large numbers.
The Last September we suggested the presence of this motorcycle at EICMA 2010, but rejected a prophecy wrong, confirmed with some 'delay because of photos of Motorcycling . The name still remains a mystery. Caponord according to the magazine, the Tuareg 1200 seconds rumor that run for some time. In the first case would continue the saga of a true endurona, much appreciated by fans but not by the general market in the second case, however, brings to light the history of the brand, with a product that has made history in the 80 and 90.
