Like it or not, but the real impression of the bike you get, the first time he saw him alive. Although there is, and vice versa: an impressive picture, but a real machine disappoints. Aprilia Caponord ETV 1000 live impressed more strongly than in the picture. In the guise of a motorcycle is something unbridled, something of an athlete. The very silhouette looks to tighten, which greatly contribute to the under-seat silencers are locked up.
In practice, these purely external impressions are confirmed by the presence of even a little bit, but this sport of the heart - liquid-1l V-shaped two migrated into the frame of the travel enduro with a thoroughbred sportbike Aprilia RSV Mille. This transplants and explains a few unbalanced (for enduro) the nature of this bike. As long as the tachometer needle does not get to the level of 2000, there is a desire to help the engine, starting from the feet of asphalt. As we move the arrow to the mark 3000, motor wakes up and issues a draft, it is sufficient for leisurely travel around the city. But the real character of this a fighter dual displays in the range of 4,5-8,5 thousand rev / min. It is in this zone and the tachometer is its full potential. Incredibly for the enduro, but even in the third transmission can be put on the goat. Complete sense, derived from dynamic sports, and promotes sound of the engine. It seems that in a frame mounted V-twin is not, and at least six-cylinder from the small block Chevy Pick Up model 70 with a misaligned carburetor and simplified release. Juicy such asynchronous baritone.
Hearing this roar once, you remember it for long. For what else is praising the designers moto Aprilia? For a comfortable fit, both driver and passenger - yes! For excellent bike for a fairly high handling characteristics on asphalt - yes! For softly and clearly working gearbox Road informative (there's even a pointer to the outside air t0) and easy to read tidy, good (for enduro) windscreen - also yes! But special thanks to them I should say a separate braking system with ABS, powerful front calipers and braided hoses. You can criticize, perhaps, a floating mount brake discs - on a rough road at low speeds, drives rattle annoyingly.
We all know that the brakes (which seems to come up with pants) is actually a motorcycle - the most important system. Even if you only on the front lever Caponord is already showing great moderation, while its information content is very, very high. But even if the handle pinch, will take effect on road works, (jerks) ABS, and make stop unlikely to succeed, especially in view of the front fork stroke. The latter is not bite, and gradually formed, not even triggered with the way. In fairness it should be noted that I was able to ride on versions without ABS. There the picture was somewhat different: male evolved much faster, giving a tangible peck, and the front brake machine much easier to block the wheel, so to manipulate the right arm had to be careful. Thanks to the optimum angle of inclination of the base and plugs the bike behaves consistently when moving in a straight line, even at speeds close to 200 km / h Above this plate does not want to go up - aerodynamics and suspension work at high speeds with Caponord is not perfect, so if you go even faster, the transverse stability of the apparatus is significantly reduced. Although, to be commended,'' claimed top speed of the motorcycle shows'' without much straining. The only rider with the need to exert as much front wheel is unloaded and the emerging have put out, moving forward, and leaning on the tank is the stomach, while hiding from the wind head of the glass. I think that few of the owners of the ETV 1000 wants to extreme, yet the device under test - no sportbike, and enduro dual purpose!
Zhukov on the island we went then to see it off-road ability Aprilia Caponord. The fact that the bike is designed structurally to move beyond the paved roads, says a lot: first, considerable ground clearance, and second, long-travel suspension, the third - the mute button ABS, in the fourth - picture on the treads of the wheels, and finally in the fifth - a proprietary protection of steering handles, pens, front forks, as well as motor and side panels. We find a clearing, from which diverge in different directions-track trails of different terrain and surface composition. Nature offered the following options: groomed ground with thick, viscous mud in the pits, dense and loose sand, high grass and thick turf. Mostly came across narrow gauge. We started with the most complex - with loose sand, but very quickly became clear that the tread pattern of tires Metzeler (150/70R/17 front and 110/80R/19) + no traction at low revs + above ground - things are absolutely incompatible. Significantly better results Aprilia showed on solid ground. Here is where you can enjoy high-speed winding movement with cross techniques passage irregularities. It is only time to bend down his head, rushing through the trees and bushes in the position of standing and to be careful in the use of CAT and the brakes when driving through mud baths, where the bike instantly becomes unstable. Riding on the turf, and high grass gave an intermediate result: the lateral slipping front wheel was slightly lower than in the sand, but the rear wheel slippage was virtually invisible and does not cause any problems. Particular Respect - working suspensions: progress forward more than sufficient for the passage of any irregularities, the back is always possible to adjust a couple of minutes under the specific conditions on two parameters: the spring preload and rigidity of the damper stroke.
Overall, the bike is still possible to say much more good words than to criticize. Only the future owner should be clearly understood that he buys a large asphalt travel enduro with limited off-road capabilities and sporty motor. His credo - long speed on roads paved with quality to achieve the ultimate purpose of the trip is of secondary importance for the motorcycle, and riders.
