When Aprilia Made a 1200cc Supermoto

[@Albertalorian]

I own a 2012 here in Canada, love it, it really comes alive with MIVV Exhaust, Rottweiler Intake and a few other tweaks, really smooths it out, and brings out another 20hp. Its a large bike, and quite heavy, but everything else is amazing!

[@RickChardet]

@@Albertalorian would love to try it modified like that!

Have ridden the 750. Fantastic handling in the twisties and excellent brakes. But very small fuel tank!

[@RickChardet]

@@constantinosschinas4503 yeah that's a pain!

Leuke video! Zelf in het bezit van een zwart 2012 model. Het is inderdaad een beest van een motor en zeker geen beginnersfiets, maar elke keer als ik er op rijd een smile van oor tot oor. Die van mij heeft wel alles er op en aan. De 3 rijmodi, ABS en 3 standen traction control (ATC) waar ik uit kan kiezen.

@@nickdewaard7508 kan me voorstellen dat als je zo'n fiets zoekt dat het geweldig is! Zeker een unieke ervaring

[@Motrack]

I like your style and the production quality-good job;) All the best from Denmark!

[@RickChardet]

@@Motrack thank you very much! Appreciate it 👍

[@peter-melvinfransen3787]

Nice! Maybe a comparison with the 750?

[@RickChardet]

Would love to ride the 750 or 900!

Leuke video rick 👍🏻

@@Cheffy_otto bedankt voor het kijken!

[@marksrc-ri9jf]

these are rare hear in the uk not many of the 2012 onwards around they havea few updates over the previous 2011 model

[@RickChardet]

@@marksrc-ri9jf yup! They're really rare over here in Holland as well

[@marksrc-ri9jf]

@@RickChardet iv managed to find one hear in the uk with 21,000 miles on the clock i use to have the 750 version was a great bike but the 1200 was what i really wanted

[@RickChardet]

@@marksrc-ri9jf enjoy it, it's a beast!

Such a damn cool looking bike. Bit of a shame the conditions were a bit bad with all these wet roads to really properly test this machine. But 130 hp with no rider assists understandable you rode it carefully. For a stock exhaust it does sound really well. Where do you often ride in the Netherlands? You allways have such amazing scenery in your videos. If you gonna keep bringing this high quality content im sure your channel is gonna gain a lot of subscribers.

[@RickChardet]

@@photomorti thank you very much! I Ride around the Amsterdam area but I careful pick out the few nice roads we have

[@photomorti]

@@RickChardet Nice area for sure. I live in Zaandam but i dont have a motorcycle yet. Im starting lessons next month and plan to buy a used Honda hornet 600 as a first bike .

[@RickChardet]

@@photomorti very nice, enjoy it!

Does anyone know what helmet he's wearing? For some odd reason I like the look of it, it's sort of unusual in a way I can't quite put my finger on... Very cool, though! Please reply if you know, thanks!

[@RickChardet]

@@jackmaddox4960 it's a shoei hornet adv!

[@tijmenwobben]

Leuke video! Ik kwam je per toeval tegen op mijn feed. Ik heb KTM 950SM, ik herken een hoop van je comments ;)

[@RickChardet]

@@tijmenwobben thanks voor het kijken!

If it's like all other Aprilia's from that period, you have S, R & T. S is 'Slippery', R 'Road' and T is 'Track. Throttle response is slow (S), medium (R) and fast (T). So when you say you put it in Touring mode and I see T on the dash, I was wondering what was up. Care to look into it? This would explain why it still felt so fast. :)

[@RickChardet]

@@Don4425 just looked it up, on the 2012 dorso it has Touring, Rain and Sport! Definitely felt like that as well, sport was really aggressive and rain was very muted

[@bertold12345]

1200 is bigger than 750 ??????

[@Albertalorian]

Yes, quite a bit. I own a 2012, its a large bike.
