Summary

Brother 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.
