New Aprilia Caponord 1200 Unveiled
News | February 17, 2012The Italian motorcycle manufacturing company has revealed its long anticipated Aprilia Caponord 1200, which is designed and engineered to compete with machines like Ducati Multistrada 1200 as dual-sport road-oriented tourer. It was revealed at annual dealer convention of Piaggio Group in Monte Carlo. Referred to as either Caponord or Tuareg, both renewals of old company badges for its dual sport motorcycles, it is clearly based on existing Dorsoduro. The Caponord shares the same frame, part steel and part alloy design along with suspension and Double Overhead Camshaft V-Twin powerplant. In Dorsoduro, the powerplant is offered as both 749cc 92 horsepower and 1197cc 130 horsepower engine.
For the Aprilia Caponord 1200 that clearly has more of long distance touring intention, the larger engines seems most likely to be used.
