Aprilias's 850cc V-twin Mana is the world's first fully automatic motorcycle but does it live up to Aprilia's claim of it being every motorcycle you'll ever need, rolled neatly into one package?

Watch the video to see as we pitch it against the best-selling-middleweight of last year the Suzuki SV650 Sport, a conventional two wheel scooter in the Honda Silver Wing and the three-wheel Pigaggio MP3 400

  • Tart it up like a monster and it would be awesome. I've been riding and racing for decades and I can't wait to get one. Leave it in auto for the daily motorway grind to and from work then put it in Sport mode with the sequential 7 speed shifter for the weekend scratch up the mountain. Brilliant

    For crying out loud, F1 cars have sequential computer controlled gearboxes. This is the future of sportbikes. If you need a clutch and an old-style gearbox to feel masculine, you're already a homo slomo

  • motorcycles aren't all play, in most of the world they are employed as workhorses and needed for the mundane, rain or shine, hum-drum tedium of daily living and I can imagine scores of people that will appreciate this bike. Well done Aprilia.

    couriers, 'genuine' commuters, living in a big city-don't want/need the expense of a car types would be pleased to have this option.

  • omfg it never lets me play videos on youtube for no reason

  • @RevanCorana I rode it and loved it. It's punchier than the Aprilia Shiver because it's in the power all the time. Where you notice it is when you dive deep into a corner hard on the brakes and instead of tap dancing on the gear lever and flapping the clutch, you hang on, torture the rubber up the apex, stay focussed and crack the throttle open as you exit. The extra brain RAM you free up by not worrying about gears leaves you with brain power to devote to line and brakes. I found it faster.

  • @ClownFight @ClownFight agreed if this bike was as racy and punchy than conventional bikes, but it's not. A good concept but there is still left to develop on it.
