Overall rating.

As the biking audience matures, demand continues to increase for adventure bikes like this 2013-2017 Aprilia Caponord 1200. 

Early in 2012 Triumph launched its new Explorer which took the coveted MCN road test class crown. But since then Ducati has launched its new ‘skyhook’ Multistrada, the first to come with true semi-active suspension, while both KTM and BMW have introduced new models which have grabbed the MCN headlines.

KTM’s all-new Adventure came in two guises – a standard, 19-inch front wheel model and the more off-road biased ‘R’ with a 21-inch front wheel.

BMW, meanwhile, also launched a new R1200GS – its most important bike in recent years, they admit – which also comes with semi-active suspension amongst a host of updates. Even Triumph has another entrant with their tweaked Tiger Sport.

All the while, there’s been one more newcomer in the background. Until now, Aprilia’s new Caponord has gone almost unnoticed – which is a mystery considering its impressive spec.

On paper it appears formidable, capable of being the leading bike in this segment, especially when we consider price. The full spec ‘Travel Pack’ version, which includes the ADD, Aprilia Dynamic Damping (semi-active suspension), is £3000 less than the Ducati equivalent and also cheaper than a comparable BMW GS.

Not only that, but the Aprilia’s suspension is more advanced than both the Ducati and BMW, and our short test ride showed it’s very impressive, especially when ridden two-up. I’m really taken aback by how good the new semi-active suspension is. Even in cold, very wet conditions, the suspension changes were noticeable. 

Unlike the Ducati and BMW systems, Aprilia’s semi-active suspension, ADD, adjusts pre-load on the rear automatically. If you add a pillion into the mix the system measures the extra weight, then calculates and compensates by adding pre-load. It’s so clever it will actually reduce the pre-load as weight is reduced when you burn fuel from the large 24-litre petrol tank. If your other half loves shopping for shoes and sneaks a few pairs into the panniers without you noticing, the Caponord will detect the extra weight, recalculate and add more pre-load if required. How clever is that?

Like the BMW and Ducati, the Aprilia system also adjusts compression and rebound damping on the move to improve comfort. However, if you start riding aggressively the system changes the suspension to compensate and to make the ride sportier. It knows you are riding aggressively by the amount of torque requested, throttle position, speed, rpm, wheel speed, and gear. It’s all very clever - and it works. This is no gimmick.

Ride quality & brakes

Not only that, but the Aprilia’s suspension is more advanced than both the Ducati and BMW, and our short test ride showed it’s very impressive, especially when ridden two-up. I’m really taken aback by how good the new semi-active suspension is. Even in cold, very wet conditions, the suspension changes were noticeable. Unlike the Ducati and BMW systems, Aprilia’s semi-active suspension, ADD, adjusts pre-load on the rear automatically. If you add a pillion into the mix the system measures the extra weight, then calculates and compensates by adding pre-load. It’s so clever it will actually reduce the pre-load as weight is reduced when you burn fuel from the large 24-litre petrol tank. If your other half loves shopping for shoes and sneaks a few pairs into the panniers without you noticing, the Caponord will detect the extra weight, recalculate and add more pre-load if required. How clever is that?

Unfortunately, we had very poor weather during our test in Sardinia including torrential rain with rivers running across the road in places (see video on  here ). The result of that is that I can’t tell you how the Aprilia suspension will perform in the dry, riding aggressively with big lean angles.

However, in the wet the ride quality was very impressive. The comfort is excellent – it’s more like a luxury touring model than a ‘Street Enduro’ as Aprilia likes to call its new bike. Speed humps, road imperfections and small potholes almost disappear, to the point that it’s almost surreal. Even deliberately hitting potholes at speed didn’t jolt the suspension or cause any discomfort.

Around town, small speed humps were taken at 30mph and were hardly noticeable with the active suspension working overtime. This was amplified further with a pillion – gliding over small speed humps and potholes as if they weren’t there. There would be a slight jolt through the bars in very extreme cases, but then the rear would follow and simply glide over. There was no jolting, no bucking, it was very smooth, level and stable.

In short, the Caponord is one of the most impressive bikes I’ve ever ridden in terms of comfort and ride quality. It feels like the rear is on a magic carpet of smoothness. Even slowly dropping off a kerb didn’t cause any discomfort. You’ll never have a pillion complain again – well, maybe not. It’s just a shame we didn’t get to push the limits of the suspension in the dry.

The front 43mm Sachs forks are also semi-active – constantly changing the compression and rebound damping but not pre-load, which is conventionally pre-set by the rider. The amount of adjustment compared to the standard model is huge. The ADD system can have more than seven times more adjustment in compression and rebound and, remember, it only takes a fraction of a second to change from maximum to minimum.

Again, it was a shame the conditions were so poor because we couldn’t really test the front suspension to the maximum. You can feel the front react to road imperfections like the rear, but it doesn’t have that magic carpet feel – you still get a small jolt in extreme circumstances. However, it remains mightily impressive.

In many ways it feels like BMW’s Telelever system as it lacks dive compared to conventional forks, which in turn means it lacks a little feel. But like the BMW system it’s all about trusting the front end and tyre contact. Personally, in the tricky conditions, tip-toeing around for grip, I’d prefer a little more dive and feel.

The 90 degree 1197cc V-twin is very similar to the engine used in Aprilia’s Dorsoduro, but refined and re-mapped to give more midrange performance. Maximum power is a quoted 125bhp @ 8500rpm and maximum torque is 85ftlb @ 6500rpm.

At low speeds the big V-twin was a little snatchy below 3000rpm – such as around town in second gear.

In higher gears, or as the revs increase above 3000, it does smooth out. Aprilia are quoting 125bhp from the 1197cc, liquid-cooled V-twin, and the spread of torque is lovely. It also sounds good from the single, side-mounted exhaust, which can be raised when you remove the panniers to increase ground clearance.

There are three different engine maps: Touring, Sport and Rain, which can be changed on the move via the start button and come as standard. Rain mode limits power to 100bhp which is more than enough to have fun, and in the tricky conditions was still enough to get the traction control working if you’re brutal enough with the throttle.

The traction control system also comes as standard. There are three different traction control modes but they can’t be changed on the move, which is a little annoying. As the road dries out you have to pull over and select neutral before changing the level of electronic intervention.

Thankfully, unlike other systems, when you turn off the key it does save your last setting which I prefer rather than going back to a safe mode. You can switch the traction off entirely and a small symbol illuminates on the dash to warn you. Don’t forget: if you switch off the traction control and turn off the key, it will still be switched off when you return to the bike and start riding once again.

Mode Three is the most intrusive (ideal for the rain), Two is less intrusive, and Mode One is for perfect sunny days with lots of grip. And on the subject of grip, an ABS system also comes as standard, and is excellent, not too intrusive - and can also be switched off.

Reliability & build quality

The Caponord shares a very similar motor to the Dorsoduro which has been proven over recent years without any major reported problems or nightmares. Sachs controls the suspension and electronics which have had extensive testing and should be glitch-free. Overall, the level of quality and components used is high. The only slight downfall is the amount of UK dealers for parts and servicing, therefore check where your local dealer is.

Our Aprilia Caponord owners' reviews show a very positive score, with no prevailing problems to report. 

Value vs rivals

Considering the amount of technology which has gone into the Caponord and the level of components used the asking price of just under £13,000 seems reasonable and cheaper than the comparable competition with a similar spec, like Ducati’s Multistrada which is over £15,000.

For the full spec bike with semi-active suspension you need to opt for the Travel Pack model, priced at just under £13,000. For this you get traction control, electronic suspension, ABS, different fuel maps, panniers and Brembo brakes. The standard model doesn’t come with the active suspension. The Aprilia comes with a huge 24 litre fuel tank, the largest in this segment of adventure bikes. The Caponord is also iPhone compatible with a built in USB socket and Bluetooth. By downloading an Aprilia Caponord app you can store the bike’s data, like wheel speed, rpm or the amount of traction control intervention and also watch this information live as the bike has a top yoke bracket to accommodate your iPhone. There’s also a huge list of accessories, as you’d expect for a touring model.

Review your APRILIA CAPONORD 1200 (2013 - 2017)

Version: Travel Pack ADD

I've had an R1200R (2009), a 660 Ténéré (2011), a Versys 1000 (2012), a Honda Super Four (?) and it's by very far been my favorite bike. I've had it for 6 years now, quite a feat for me.If I had to give my 3 favs on it: 1) sound, 2) engine, 3) position.

The ADD suspensions are great in Auto (I was worried about them on purchase: 6 years on still no issue whatever). Ride mode on Sport or the bike feels a bit lazy. Some complain that it's snatchy in Sport and it's not untrue, but you learn to work with the clutch and it's fine. Rather that than laziness for me.

Outstanding. Best V-twin sound (for me), just as the Tuono has the best V4 sound (for me). Powerful, punchy, revvy, amazing soundtrack (I know, I know). 6 out of 5

Fuel gauge never worked, not even after being replaced.Battery dies if the bike is not ridden often enough. At least on my bike.

No idea, but it never shocked me.

ADD have been great. Didn't much like the very sporty profile of the OEM tyres, too fast turning in.The top-box and panniers are capacious enough, the seat is comfy. I love the supermotard-inspired seating position, slightly on the front without being extreme at all, makes the position more involving than on a GS or Versys 1000 for instance.

Buying experience: Bought new from a dealer. Paid 13.000 GBP, which back then was a big outlay for me. Never regretted it for a second.

Version: Travel pack

Love this bike, but it uses oil. On long trips to the continent we have to pack a litre of oil in our luggage, which is a pain. Had a few Japanese bikes, none of them used any oil. Plus the rear tyre had a slow leak, turned out to be the valve, had to get it replaced.

Would be great but for using oil, nuisance when touring having to pack a litre every time.

The fuel gauge stopped working, had to be replaced.

Great deal on this bike, comes with loads of tech and panniers, suspension is ace IMO. It senses whether you’re on your own, two up, with luggage etc. Simply brilliant for the price.

Loads of equipment as standard, came with hard panniers as well.

Buying experience: Bought from On Yer Bike, Aylesbury for about £10,000 which was a brilliant deal compared to other similar bikes, with the same level of equipment and luggage.

Version: Rally

It's 125 horses are harder top find than the BMW1200's, but the motor is much smoother and revs freely throughout its range. The suspension is superb as is the design and look of the bike. Very comfortable and very well equipped as standard.

its a heavy bike so the brakes have to work hard but do the job. Comfort is top notch, i am able to ride until fuel is needed (around 180 - 200 mile mark).

The bike uses a noticeable amount of oil, but is smooth and free revving. Looking at dyno tests on line the engine develops about 107 BHP at the rear wheel. This seems like quite a drop from the 125BHP claimed for the engines output, but it is all usable.

The fuel gauge is a known problem, giving up reading through the float sticking in the slider tube. This has recently been solved with A replacement and revised part. Apart from that it appears well screwed together.

not had an annual service as yet but for a top premium bike the cost of purchase and running are very good.

Loads of standard equipment which you would pay £1000s for with any of the other top marques. I had the centre stand fitted as an extra for £138. cannot argue with that!

Buying experience: bought for £10,999 new but pre-registered from ONYERBIKE. An absolute bargain !!! :)

Version: Travel Pack

Annual servicing cost: £200

In 2012 we were in the process of updating our Guzzi Stelvio so off to the dealers to test all the available "adventure style bikes. Tried em all and the only one that came close to the Guzzi was the Caponord. My wife and I travel Europe and ride together year round so pillion comfort is a key feature. Within 5 mins of our 2nd test ride the Caponord had blown away all the competition inc the new Guzzi NTX. 3 yrs and 14000miles on we know we made the right decision. For us it is the perfect long distance European mile muncher yet also a supreme upright sports bike with all the luggage removed. The handling and ride is class leading. This is for me the best choice for what I want from my bike and is the best value for money against the competition. I was a little concerned about the vast array of electronic gizmos on board but not one single glitch so far. We chose the travel pack with some added goodies mentioned later all that for 12.5 grand and we are on the road !!

This where this bike shines like a beacon. Ride quality is sublime and is the best I've ever experienced and its not at the expense of superb handling either. Aprilia have got this spot on. In auto mode on the suspension you can forget about the need for fiddling with any adjustments just get on and ride and enjoy the almost surreal comfort of this suspension system. Fully loaded for European touring the bike is still agile and flickable. The result is all day comfort. On a recent trip to Turin we covered 400+ miles on 2 consecutive days with ease. I am in my 60s and I cannot think of any other bike I could have done that on, and my wife feels the same. The brakes are awesome too being Brembos I guess that's what we would all expect. There is a pleasing lack of excessive dive on the front too when braking hard and the ABS just adds more confidence to an already impressive set up. It all adds up to a superb all rounder of a motorcycle for comfort performance and safety

Lets talk sountrack 1st. This bike has to be the best sounding 2 cylinder bike around even with the std can. I am a fan of v twin engines anyway but this sound stirs your soul. Below 3000 revs the engine can be a bit lumpy/snatchy. Above that and up to the rev limiter its silky smooth for a twin. Very little vibration and a smooth broad addictive curve of power and torque-superb. It may not produce the BHP of the Duke or KTM but 125 horses is plenty for me thanks and the way it delivers it is brilliant. The engine has 3 levels of mapping Sport Touring and Rain. The Sport mode is a bit too fiery for normal use and Touring is the std for us. Rain mode comes in handy if the weather is bad or if you have to thread your way through city traffic The 6 speed gearbox is also slick and so easy to use

No issues The bike has performed faultlessly from day one and still looks like new no corrosion anywhere and it has never let us down, nuff said

Considering the spec and all the rider aids which all work so well this has to be the best value adventure style bike out there. I have no intention of going off road on a bike weighing 200+ kilos, for me that's insane so the 17" wheels are better for purpose. The bike came shod with Dunlop qualifiers and the rear was gone in 3000 miles. A change to Bridgestone T30s has halved the wear rate. In the first 600 miles the fuel consumption was also really heavy but at the 1st service Aprilia sent out a new complete suite of software inc new fuel mapping. Since then we are getting between 43-55 MPG fully loaded and not hanging about.

We chose the travel pack version which gets you the panniers and the ADD suspension. We added factory top box heated grips and a 12v bar mounted socket. I have added a Tutoru mechanical chain oiler [brilliantly simple and very effective]. Radiator covers from Evotec. Front fenda extenda from Pyramid. A larger Puig touring screen with air deflector and a siren horn which lets all other road users know you are about. The addition of these esp the screen has made what was a great motorcycle close to perfection for our needs. The original screen was not that effective particularly re helmet buffeting which I cant deal with on longer trips

Buying experience: We got the bike from Blade in Swindon and dealt with Paul Dobb the manager, who could not have been more helpful and had a good knowledge of the bike which had only just been released We negotiated a very good deal on the extras but had to wait a while for the Aprilia top box to get here. Blade have handled all my servicing and I have been well happy with them all round

The Caponord Rally is captivating, with its sharp good looks, ease of handling, value for money and a cracking engine with a throaty exhaust OMG. Its sooo under stated to its compeditors. Buy it Best Bike in this type you will have had. After 7k in 3 months I now know that.

Nothing less than excellent I ride the Rally with the 19 inch front wheel having never ridden on a 19 before I was cautious but no need this bikes suspension is special I have covered over 7000 miles in 3 months so I am not just a Sunday biker.

The 1200 motor is the companies original Mille 1000 bored out which was used in the Dosaduro 1200 with no noticeable problems. It has a vg range of power and free revving, unlike the V4 engines which have had valve dropping problems (back right usually). The Caponord engine is prob their most reliable.

Aprilia finish is vg, quality parts top brembo brakes and top suspension. No problems to moan over so far with over 7k on the clocks.

Bike comes fully loaded with 3 boxes at 14k but offers are out there. The standard Caponord is now £9999OTR, crazy CHEAP.

Caponord Rally comes pretty much fully loaded, cruise control 3 boxes active suspension as standard. Heated grips add £125. No Centre stand though that's an extra too.

Buying experience: Bought from Jim Allan Motorcycles in Scotland very friendly and informed staff. Well established dealership.

Annual servicing cost: £35

This Italian styled bike does it all. From performance to comfort its a peach.

AAS Aprilia Active suspension is superb, almost same, as what is on its more expensive rivals BMW and Ducati. Best brakes on offer on most bikes at present Brembo. Super comfort its a ride all day machine whether on ur own or 2up. Whether with luggage on or not. Bike is dam light and easy moved, not like a GS. Its a rascal when stripped of luggage on the twisties and that exhaust is dam noisy too. Big grin factor guaranteed.

125 bhp plenty for all that your going to use it for. Easy 135mph if you require it. Easy power delivery bike has full traction control but I switched it off. This bike is easy to ride fast. Also left AAS in full auto setting. Big V twin engine has sufficient power and engine braking to inspire confidence on twisties.

Build and reliability to date after 5k miles has been superb. No issues.

Rally to date has been super cheap to run. With its 1st service at 600 miles next service 6k miles on at 6600k miles. Rear tyre lasted to 5k front still got plenty left on it. 40 to 50 MPG amazing. No oil usage or any issues so far.

Aprilia have fully loaded it 3 x boxes all with very usable liners. Heated grips optional but dealers will throw in. Cruise control that works, stunning spokes larger wheels which IMO set the bike off superbly. Other standard equipment as previously stated included AAS ATC which are all usable and easily switched off if preferred. 3 power modes too, add to this package. The OE tyres Metz Next are superb, they are also standard on the BMW GS 1200 new models

Buying experience: Bought from local dealership, hassle free and informed staff. Also had a demo to try. All in all very sweet experience. Had trade in so change over price was much better that other local dealerships for a similar bike.

Version: Travel

Annual servicing cost: £250

Handling and breaking are superb. Plenty of feel in both areas, either fully loaded with pillion or out for a weekend thrash with the guys. Tank range is proving adequate at around 240m, not bad for a twin. One niggle would be the seat height which is right on my limit, I'm 5ft 8", although I haven't changed to the lower seat option as some of the padding is removed making it harder

When purchasing our first tourer we tried all the makes available, I really wanted a Multistrada but was very disappointed with the vibration and snatchy feel. My wife also found it very uncomfortable as a pillion. V-strom, triumph tiger 8 & 12, BMW Gs. A friend suggested the Caponord, which we had not heard of. Following a test we fell in love with it, perfect all rounder. Confident feel cornering, braking is just superb, although I am comparing them to the TL100s and a ZX9R!

Strong, pulls like and Ox and the exhaust note is intoxicating. So far after 7500m covered it hasn't missed a beat even in extreme temperatures as we just found out in Southern Portugal.

Should be a five really, but on the first service some of the seals needed replaced (warranty work and free of charge) but I had only covered 1000m.

Overall looks, although I guess it's a marmite bike! Dash display and gadgets are great, so easy to alter suspension settings with the touch of a button. Rain, tour and sport. The travel model comes with rear panniers which are a good size and waterproof, always a bonus. You can buy an Aprillia top box, but it's way to small. We fitted a Hepco and Beck, the journey model. Comes in gloss black and looks like it came with the bike. Tyres, Dunlop Qualifiers as standard which were great if you can afford to change them every 2500m, we have fitted Michelin Pilot Road 4s (GT), great in the wet and dry and seem to be lasting very well.

Buying experience: Purchased from a dealer locally, well our only Aprillia dealer in the South West. We bought the Demo model as it was in black, my colour choice for £10560. They also had a new one in Red for nearly £12000. No budge on price really, it did only have 150m on clock. But we got lots of discount on some extras etc.

Fast, Comfortable, Practical, Effortless Fun - so much bike for the money. And its not a BMW......

Brakes effective with great feel and control. ADD superb and works. Ride quality and position means you could run out of fuel before you want to stop. Numb bum and legs after about 3-4 hours so as good as any bike

Power and torque everywhere. Great sound with Arrow exhaust. Ride by wire throttle jerky in sport mode at lower speeds. Rain mode helps keeping to limits around town.

Too early but everything has a real quality feel to it. No dull metal just yet

Unknown yet. MPG lot better than some of the stories - in fact impressive. Got 50-52 mpg on a 250 mile run in Touring mode with some fast riding. JUst over 200 miles full tank to fuel light. Suggests another 50-70 left in reserve?

Came with Arrow exhaust so no knowledge of improvement over original but sounds great, crash bars look good and probably save expensive damage, Qualifier tyres work well. ADD best standard feature. Ride, power and handling seemed identical with a pillion possibly better as more stable

Buying experience: Got mine from a dealer - Hunts in Manchester. Paid asking price of £9599 but fitted sat nav, topbox plate at cost and delivered 250 miles away for free. Great service - very helpful.

Difficult to nit pick really.Screen replaced with MRA screen,much better looks and performance. Better with Avon Storms in performance and mileage. Front preload up 2 complete turns from standard. Strangely suspension better after 3000 miles. Performance and comfort A1. Addictive. Love it.

Wish MCN could manage to get bike details correct rather than mislead. 118 mph, was that the bike you couldn't work out on test that was automatically restricted until 600miles. Cos it certainly isn't a true statement about the Caponord after the running in period. Also you need some new counting beads when it comes to estimating tank range...24litres = about 53 gallons which at 55 mpg gives a tank range of 290 miles. Waste of time readng the rest as it's all more accurately reported elsewhere. Waste of money buying your paper s well come to think of it. The bike ? FANTASTIC if a bit heavy.

2014 Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS Travel Pack on Totalmotorcycle.com

THE PERFECT BIKE FOR TRAVELLING…

The Caponord 1200 Travel Pack is Aprilia at its best in terms of technology, fun and comfortand attains that perfect point of equilibrium between sport and comfort that so many modern day motorcyclists long for. It is the perfect bike for travelling, having fun and for day-to-day use. Fast and fun outside the city thanks to the abundant power from its twin-cylinder engine, extremely comfortable for both rider and passenger when touring thanks to the carefully studied ergonomic layout and to the protection from air-flow, the Aprilia Caponord 1200 Travel Pack includes the most complete and sophisticated electronic control system suite currently available. These specially designed, easy to use technologies optimise comfort, increase safety and fun while in no way detracting from the feel the rider has with the bike. This all comes at a truly competitive price which soon becomes exceptional if you consider the quality of the equipment that is rounded off with a pair of colour coded panniers and a centre stand.

APRILIA REVOLUTIONISES THE STREET ENDURO SEGMENT, CREATING THE PERFECT BIKE FOR TRAVEL, FUN AND DAY TO DAY USE. THE NEW CAPONORD 1200 TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE EXPERIENCE APRILIA HAS ACQUIRED IN TOP LEVEL COMPETITION, MAKING – ONCE AGAIN – TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO ALL.

SAFETY, PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT COME TOGETHER IN A NEW BALANCE, A NEW FRONTIER DESTINED TO BE THE REFERENCE POINT, THANKS IN PART TO THE INTRODUCTION OF “ADD”, THE CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY, SEMI-ACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM COVERED BY FOUR EXCLUSIVE PATENTS. THE LATEST INNOVATION FROM APRILIA, TOGETHER WITH CRUISE CONTROL, COMPLETES THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS SUITE THAT COMES STANDARD ON THE CAPONORD 1200, SUCH AS RIDE BY WIRE MULTIMAP ACCELERATOR, TRACTION CONTROL WHICH CAN BE ADJUSTED TO THREE LEVELS, AS WELL AS TWO CHANNEL ABS.

The new standard

After shocking the naked sport bike world with the incredible Tuono V4 R and after creating the best superbike of the new millennium, the super fast RSV4, Aprilia aims at leaving an indelible sign in the street enduro segment as well, achieving the objective and exclusive objective of obtaining a perfect balance between sport and comfort. Introducing Caponord 1200, the perfect bike for any occasion. Easy to handle and agile in the city, thanks to its advanced and lightweight chassis, quick and fun in the countryside, thanks to its sophisticated electronic management and its generous twin cylinder engine, comfortable for rider and passenger in touring due to the particular attention to ergonomic detail and its excellent protection against the air, thanks to wind tunnel shape studies.

Caponord is not a new name for Aprilia: the first ETV 1000 Caponord, introduced in 2001, represented an advanced interpretation of the street enduro concept, boasting distinctive elements such as the dual beam chassis in aluminium and the 998 cc 98 HP twin cylinder engine, both clearly sports derivations. More than ten years have passed and in the meantime Aprilia motorcycle technology has taken leaps forward: the proverbial ability to build exceptional chassis has been joined by top notch skill in electronics, thanks to the experience gained in top level racings, which has always been the maximum centre of research and development for Aprilia of solutions which are then used in factory models. Proof of this is in the exclusive equipment (RbW, ABS, ATC, ACC, ADD) and the characteristics of power, especially the torque of the 1200 V2 engine, completely revamped to provide the maximum in terms of power output and riding pleasure. The needs and desires of bikers have also changed, attracted more than ever by the global bike, a bike capable of providing great satisfaction in any conditions of use. Caponord 1200 aims to establish a meeting place between the new needs of bikers and Aprilia’s technological skills.

THE MOTORCYCLE

The three-fold personality typical of Italian design combined with a sleek body: these are the primary characteristics of a long series that sets the Caponord 1200 apart. Form and function find a point of contact. The sport nature comes through clearly in the stylistic traits: the distinctive Aprilia “gaze” characterises the Caponord 1200 too. Numerous wind tunnel sessions designed the shapes of the top fairing and the windshield with adjustable height in order to ensure the best aerodynamic penetration, with particular attention given to the indispensable protection of the rider and passenger against the wind. To guarantee maximum comfort in touring use, the handguards and particular side fairing profiles come into play, designed not to be invasive, but to offer plenty of protection. The same concept characterises the Caponord 1200 chassis: the new Aprilia has a frame made of steel piping and forged aluminium plates, a true and proper modern sculpture which deserves to be left on display. The mixed structure guarantees the right amount of rigidity and the essential characteristics of stability and precision expected from every Aprilia, allowing the Caponord 1200 to rise above where its rivals stop – in sport riding. The perfect balance between sport and touring is an alchemy that only those with in depth know-how like Aprilia are able to create.

The erect and relaxed riding position is the fruit of specific ergonomic studies to find a dominant position, but one that would not be tiring during long trips; the saddle, enhanced by its elegant red stitching to give it a racing flavour, has a particularly comfortable cushion and sits just 840 mm off the ground, allowing riders of any height to always be in full control of the vehicle at a standstill. A lowered saddle is also available as an accessory to further reduce the distance from the ground. The passenger accommodations were also given particular attention: the portion of the saddle, large and flat, is separate from the rider’s seat and shaped in such a way that prevents sliding forward, guaranteeing optimum comfort in any riding situation, while the grab handles provide a firm and comfortable grip. “Rotational” technology allowed a thin walled nylon tank to be realised with great freedom of shape, favouring a reduction in weight. This way the lateral dimensions were reduced to a minimum and cater to the perfect leg position for the rider. The 24 litre capacity guarantees long range travel with a full tank.

The Caponord 1200 design was conceived from the beginning considering the bike panniers as an integral part of the vehicle: this, together with the choice to adopt a layout of the exhaust system with a low silencer, allowed dimensions to be contained significantly. The 29 litre capacity panniers, once installed, stay particularly adherent to the tail fairing profile (total dimensions stop at just 908 mm) and they do not create any inconvenience for the passenger, facilitating mounting and riding comfort. Aprilia also considered sport purists: the silencer is height adjustable, in the event that the panniers are not fitted, giving it a more sporty and aggressive look. The set of panniers, colour coded to match the body and present in the rich original accessories catalogue for the Caponord 1200, does not require any additional brackets or attachments, thereby leaving the clean lines of the motorcycle intact when not installed.

2014 Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS Travel Pack Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

Race experience combined with technology

Using years of experience gained from competing at the very top, Aprilia has made their technology available and accessible for everyone on the Caponord 1200. The electronic systems which are unique for their ease of use, effectiveness and reliability, include the Ride by Wire multi-map throttle, Traction Control and two-channel ABS.

AVAILABLE OUTFITTING

Caponord 1200 has a wealth of standard equipment which includes, but is not limited to: ” Ride by Wire system with three engine maps: Sport, Touring, Rain ” Two-channel ABS (can be disabled) ” ATC (can be deactivated and with 3 user selectable level settings) ” Adjustable windshield ” Hand guard The Travel Pack outfitting adds: ” ADD (Aprilia Dynamic Damping) ” ACC (Aprilia Cruise Control) ” Shock absorber with built in piggy back, spring preload electrically adjustable to 4 predefined settings (rider only, rider and passenger, rider only with panniers, rider and passenger with panniers) or in automatic mode ” Pair of panniers colour coded to match the body ” Centre stand These last two features are also available in the rich catalogue of accessories for standard Caponord 1200 customers.

2014 Aprilia Caponord 1200 ABS Travel Pack Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

The layout of the frame is a mixed structure, made up of a trellis in high resistance steel tubes connected to a pair of die cast aluminium plates. This exclusive and well tested configuration allows a perfect balance of weights to be achieved, as well as optimum torsional and longitudinal rigidity values. The frame has been specifically designed, seeking to raise the bar for the segment in terms of handling, without neglecting high standards of stability at the high speeds which the powerful twin cylinder is capable of reaching. The new rear subframe ensures extreme solidity for trips with a full load, while the lateral positioning of the shock absorber, which connects the frame to the aluminium swingarm, is useful for providing the right amount of space for the exhaust manifold, leaving the unit far from heat sources in a position which favours any adjustments that may be required. Caponord 1200 has a manually adjustable shock absorber in spring preload and in rebound hydraulics as well as a completely adjustable USD fork (rebound, compression and spring preload) with 43 mm stanchions made precious by cast shell mounting brackets. The extremely lightweight aluminium wheels, both 17 inches, stem from the ones which equip the super sport RSV4 and they contribute to reducing gyroscopic moments of unsuspended weight to a minimum, all to the advantage of handling. The wheels are shod with tyres designed specifically for this type of bike; thanks in part to the generous cross section of the rear tyre (180/55), they are able to accommodate even the rider’s most extreme leans as well as ensuring maximum grip on slippery surfaces. The particular sculpting of the tread provides the further possibility of safely tackling light off road routes, in search of a more adventurous type of touring. The Brembo braking system provides a pair of floating 320 mm steel discs and monoblock callipers with 4 pistons and radial connection on the front. The rear mounts a single piston floating calliper that grips a 240 mm disc. An advanced two-channel ABS system which can be disengaged completes the standard equipment.

The Aprilia twin cylinder boasts extremely advanced construction technology and a careful study of internal fluid dynamics aimed at improving combustion, decreasing friction and maximising performance. The engine was the object of some significant advancements, both in software and hardware, in order to obtain more progressive power output from low rpms (to the advantage of comfort) and to enhance riding pleasure thanks to even higher torque values (to the advantage of fun), at the same time improving fuel economy.

The general specifications of the Caponord 1200 engine are:

” Twin cylinder 90° V; ” Performance: max power 125 HP at 8,250 rpm; max torque 11.7 kgm at 6,800 rpm; ” Triple map Ride by Wire technology (with Sport, Touring and Rain maps); ” Highly oversquare bore/stroke ratio which is highlighted by the sport attitude and increases the amount of power generated from a low RPM; ” Offset cylinders for maximum lateral compactness; ” Double overhead camshafts driven by a mixed chain/gear valve timing system and four valves per cylinder; ” Twin spark ignition for fluid but full power output; ” Speed density type electronic fuel injection with two throttle bodies and double multi-hole injectors for each throttle body; ” Stick-coils integrated in spark plug boots; ” Three-way catalytic converter with double oxygen sensor; ” Hydraulically operated clutch.

The final drive ratios contribute to increasing top speed, thereby allowing the engine to turn at lower rpms while travelling on the motorway, saving fuel and increasing comfort. A child of the experience Aprilia has gained in racing, which has resulted in an amazing 51 world titles in just a few years, the ultra compact twin from Noale is a work of Italian art even from an aesthetics point of view. Credit for this goes to the great efforts of the engineers in imagining an ultra modern engine where the data transportation system travels through a CAN line which has the benefit of decreasing the amount of electrical cables needed. The 690W current generator is new, more powerful and capable of powering the various electrical accessories in the rich options catalogue without any problems.

ELECTRONICS: THE MOST IN SOPHISTICATION AND RELIABILITY

Aprilia was the first to believe in the Ride by Wire system, the electronic type accelerator introduced on the Shiver 750 as far back as 2007, the fruit of extremely sophisticated technology, once reserved only for competition bikes, which helps the rider to get the most out of the bike’s performance potential. On the Caponord 1200 the level of effectiveness and reliability of this system as reached a new peak. The RbW system dialogues perfectly with the engine ECU, managing the power in the best possible way at each point of the power output arc in order to have jerk-free manageability at low RPM, extreme responsiveness at medium RPM and exemplary spurts at high RPM. An efficient engine also provides the indisputable advantage of optimising fuel economy.

With its triple maps (Rain, Touring and Sport), which the rider can select even with the bike in motion, provides the possibility of having a bike with three distinct personalities, able to instantly adapt to any possible condition and preference. The rider needs only close the throttle and press a button to choose the desired setting.

SPORT: maximum performance with responsive and direct power output in order to satisfy an aggressive riding style.

TOURING: the maximum power expressed is the same as the Sport mapping, but output becomes more fluid and suitable for daily riding or touring.

RAIN: power is limited to 100 HP in order to guarantee maximum control and safety in conditions of poor grip.

ABS and traction control (ATC) can both be disengaged and they are both standard equipment on the Caponord 1200. The two channel ABS system is particularly finely calibrated and allows the rider to take full advantage of the chassis potential in sport riding without every being invasive, even in the most intense braking operations, whilst still guaranteeing maximum safety on slippery surfaces. ATC (Aprilia Traction Control) is the exclusive traction control system derived from the Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) system on the extraordinary RSV4, designed and fine tuned by Aprilia to get maximum grip out of any type of surface, able to give the rider great riding confidence, simultaneously increasing safety. The 3 levels of control can be adjusted based on different riding styles and asphalt conditions:

Level 1: for a pure sport riding experience, all fun and adrenaline. Level 2: suitable for the city and touring and in general to manage the engine’s great power on any route. Level 3: ideal for safety taking on difficult situations such as low grip surfaces, staying in complete control.

Caponord 1200 is also available with the Travel Pack package which includes ADD (Aprilia Dynamic Damping), ACC (Aprilia Cruise Control), centre stand and side panniers. ADD (Aprilia Dynamic Damping) is the brand new dynamic semi-active suspension system developed by Aprilia and protected by four patents, the reference point in motorcycling on a global level where technology, efficiency and reliability are concerned. After APRC, the highly sophisticated “package” of electronics systems which equips the RSV4 and Tuono V4, once again Aprilia demonstrates that they are pioneers in the field of electronics applied to bikes, introducing the suspension system which uses automotive components to guarantee maximum reliability: a glance to the future, thanks to its vast possibilities of development and diversified applications. The ADD system measures the energy transmitted by bumps on the road surface to the bike and adjusts the hydraulic fork calibration and shock absorber in real time to minimise accelerations on the frame and consequently maximise comfort. To achieve maximum performance at any fork and shock absorber operating frequency, ADD uses a patented “comfort oriented” algorithm which combines the principles of the well known skyhook and acceleration driven damping algorithms. In addition to comfort, rideability is also optimised and safety is increased thanks to further software strategies which are tied directly to the rider’s actions. In fact, the system recognises the riding phases (acceleration, throttle release, braking, constant gas) and adjusts the basic fork and shock absorber settings thanks to yet another patent which allows specific hydraulic calibration curves to be defined within the adjustment range. The high precision of the system is entrusted to a selection of sensors which are derived from the automotive world and which allow the fork and shock absorber extension speed to be measured with maximum accuracy. In this field Aprilia has patented a unique solution for measuring the fork extension speed through the use of a pressure sensor.

In the electromechanical calibration suspension systems already available on the market, the rider presses a button on the handlebar to activate an electric motor which changes the suspension set-up. In the Aprilia ADD dynamic semi-active suspension system, on the other hand, all the rider has to do is ride without any concerns of selecting one setting or another.

The Travel Pack includes a built in piggy back shock absorber, electrically adjustable in spring preload to 4 predefined positions, indicated by specific icons on the digital instrument panel: rider only, rider with passenger, only rider with panniers and rider and passenger with panniers. Aprilia system patented exclusive and then the automatic preload control mode for the spring. Once this option is selected the system is able to detect the bike’s load by itself (weight of the fuel, rider, passenger, luggage, etc.) and automatically adjust preload to the optimum value for correct balancing of the bike.

Aprilia Cruise Control allows the desired speed to be set and maintained even on uphills and downhills, without touching the throttle control. The system disengages automatically if the rider touches any of the brake/clutch Cruise Control commands and is very useful on long motorway routes because it helps save fuel and makes the ride less tiring. It is a perfect ally to eat up miles stress-free astride the Caponord 1200.

The completely digital instrument panel that equips the Caponord 1200 is all new: The full LCD combines the speedometer, rev counter, total and two trip odometers, fuel level and coolant temperature. There is also a selected mapping indicator (S,T,R) as well as the shock absorber electric spring preload indicator (Travel Pack). The engaged gear is also indicated, as well as the ATC level adjustment and heated handgrip operation (available as a separate option). The range of indicator lights on the side includes the fuel reserve warning light and the ABS, ATC and ACC activation/deactivation indicators (Travel Pack).

I'm gearing up for a trip, and I found that the seals in one of my panniers have dry-rotted. Has anyone replaced these? I didn't use the bags much, but the stock seals were always water tight when I did get caught in the rain. It seems that Moto Guzzi is using the same design for one of their current bikes (Breva). Any luck sourcing replacement seals for those? Oh, bonus question -- do the Breva bags use the same rubber tabs to attach to the license plate assembly? Mine have also dry-rotted.

Indeed, these seals should be the same as on the Caponord, but the bags on the GT8V Norge should be identical, those bags are so close to the Futura's design. Bob

No Matter Where You Are, There You Go!
Not sure, they had one of the GT8Vs at Elk Grove Power Sports, had a chance to tinker with the saddlebags on this one up close and personal. A few things I noted about the Guzzi bags: They have the same internally bolted mounting plates up top, the interior seal arrangement looks just about identical, there's a unique latch added at the rear of the bag, and the main motorcycle key (big one) operates the saddlebag, unlike the Futuras miniature key. The Guzzi sure felt smaller sitting on it, more cramped than the aprilia. Bob

English is not my native language, so please be kind to my mistakes. Remember, this is an Italian bike with an Austrian motor, it isn't like the GSXR you use to own...

No, it's not the 100% same. Only a visual. Futura panniers could be fitted to a new Capo, but the opposite is impossible. Only a outside parts could be identical. One fellow have bought a Capo 1200 panniers and couldn't fit it into Futura.

One fellow have bought a Capo 1200 panniers and couldn't fit it into Futura. Well, curious to know a person in Moscow, having Futura and panniers from Capo 1200 at the same time. Any pictures, please? Having both bikes at the same time I didn't find any difference in panniers beside colour.
You are right, I'm talking about the old Capo panniers, which have a different panniers mounting.
Still waiting on my gaskets.

Moscow What To Pack

Moscow is the capital of Russia. In preparation for your visit, pack plenty of warm clothes, a camera, and comfortable shoes.

No matter what you have planned for your Moscow adventure, these luggage options are ideal for a short or long-term stay.

Warm clothes.

Moscow, like most of Russia, can get quite cold, especially in the winter months. Travelers who are new to the city, especially those who hail from warmer climates, should bring a heavy coat, gloves, hats, and warm socks. In the weeks leading up to your trip, check the weather forecasts to get a sense of the temperatures you can expect during your stay.

Clothes to Pack

  • Dress Shirts
  • Casual Shirts
  • Sweatshirts
  • Laundry Kit
  • Leisure Shoes
  • Hiking Boots
  • Dress Shoes
  • Collapsible Tote

Moscow is home to the Kremlin, the seat of the country’s government. The city is also the site of historic churches, museums, and monuments. Make sure you pack a camera, but pay attention to the signs, especially outside churches and government buildings. If you’re told you can’t take pictures, don’t. The local police won’t hestitate to confiscate your camera if they catch you breaking the rules.

Electronics to Pack

  • Laptop/Tablet
  • Electronics Chargers
  • Travel Adapter
  • Film/Memory Card
  • Electric Toothbrush

Comfortable Shoes

Moscow, like most capital cities, requires visitors to do a fair amount of walking. Chances are, you’ll spend most of your days heading from one area of the city to another. This can put a lot of strain on your feet. To prevent blisters and pain, pack a pair of comfortable shoes. Your feet will thank you.

Toiletries and medicine.

Few things are worse than arriving in a city halfway around the world only to realize that you forgot your medication. Moscow has plenty of clinics and hospitals that you can go to in an emergency, but it may take some time to fill a prescription, especially if it’s something that requires your doctor’s permission. To avoid a headache while in Moscow, double and triple check that you have your medications before you leave.

Moscow is a modern, industralized city, but the people there may not share your preferences for toilet paper, toothpaste, deodorant, and the like. When packing your luggage, make room for toiletries. You can always pick up more while you’re there, but it’s nice to know you have what you need to take care of your personal hygenie while abroad.

Toiletries to Pack

  • Dental Floss
  • Conditioner
  • Styling Tools
  • Facial Cleanser
  • Face Lotion
  • Moisturizer
  • Contact Lenses
  • Contact Solution
  • Shaving Supplies
  • Makeup Remover
  • Menstrual Products
  • Birth Control/Medication
  • Nail Clippers
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • First-Aid Ointment
  • Insect Repellent
  • Pain Relievers
