This is the new concept bike from designer Roberto Vernile in collaboration with Aprilia, and utilising the 750 or 1200 Dorsoduro/Shiver V Twin engine.

The bike is supposed to offer fully adjustable ergonomics, seating etc but styling seems to be drawn from the Buell S1 more than any new or radical concept..Too much plastic for my liking though : (

I dont see it. I mean, it looks as much like the S1 as it does a monster, only because of a tube frame, V2, and no fairing.

Of course a lot of naked V-Twins will look similar, there is after all only so many places you can put components. However this one has the extremely truncated tail section and underslung exhaust that is more similar to Buell than Monster/Shiver/raptor/Morini nakeds in my mind.

That thing is going to have some turning radius issues.
