2011 Aprilia Mana 850 Quick Test Ride

VERY quick rest ride recording of a 2011 Aprilia Mana 850.

This bike is fully automatic with no clutch, OR you can set it to manual shift mode which can be shifted via the buttons on the left handgrip, or via the lever near your left foot. The lever is surprisingly soft, as all it is is an electronic switch for telling hte computer to switch gears.

I did feel that this bike was a little slow considering it was an 850 (which is typical of any automatic vehicle vs a standard transmission) but once the engine got wound up this machine took off pretty well.

Very interesting bike overall, comfy seating, and VERY easy to ride!
