2011 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200
Available Colors	Glam White, Competition Black
The 2011 Dorsoduro 1200 costs $11 999 which is a reasonable price to pay for a member of the 1200cc class of naked bikes the average price is $12 900
Price MSRP	11999
This bike uses a liquid-cooled 1197cc V-twin engine thats capable of producing 130 horsepower at 8 700 rpm Maximum torque is 84 8 ft-lbs occurring at 7 200 rpm Fuel injection makes for effortless cold starts and smooth power delivery The 12:1 compression ratio is slightly higher than the average of all 2011 naked bikes A higher compression ratio is desirable because it means an engine can do the same amount of work with less fuel leading to increased efficiency and power for a given engine size the only downside is that using low octane fuel can damage the engine A cylinder bore and stroke of 106 x 67 8mm makes this motor oversquare: the bore width of the cylinder is greater than its stroke length Oversquare engines excel at revving high and producing a lot of power for their displacement at the expense of low-end torque
