Summary

TLDRBrother Tech shares his one-year experience with his Aprilia bike, highlighting its agility and performance. With 6,000 kilometers on the odometer, he notes the bike's impressive handling and the need for a suspension upgrade. He addresses fuel efficiency concerns, averaging 6 liters per 100 kilometers, and praises the bike's city riding capabilities despite heat issues and limited turning radius. The bike's technology, including cruise control and TC, enhances the riding experience, though the rear brake's performance is underwhelming. Engine oil consumption is a noted issue, but overall, he'd repurchase, appreciating the bike's blend of sportiness and practicality.
