First impression: Aprilia Caponord 1200

Given my inexperience in driving with heavier touring engines, the Caponord was a real challenge. 1200cc twin-cylinder, dimensions are placed alongside other touring road engines.

After walking several tens of kilometers, I realized that there was absolutely no need to be afraid. The engine is damn versatile and manageable. Good wind protection on motorways allows you to drive quickly without much effort, as the driver hides from the wind (my height is just under 180 cm), even on winding regional roads I did not have any serious problems with cornering, the motorcycle worked great (and the driver too :)). For added safety, the rear wheel's electronic traction control helps open the throttle lever from corners. This gives the driver a sense of traction and can then tune the electronics as desired (3 levels).

It features modern sporty lines and a racing red that attracts the attention of many passers-by.

Caponord definitely deserves a positive review.
