Mana
in the Maori language means power, energy - the same force of the elements
Aprilia say they have tried to identify in this 'concept bike'.
A new interpretation of
the powerful Aprilia twin, proposed in a 'concept' anticipating the trends
and demands of the public.
Polished and well
blended with the front fairing, the ETV Mana tank is a structurally
important element, particularly emphasized by the bike's essentiality.
The two handles in the
top part of the tank provide the passenger with a convenient grip,
encircling the rider's middle and integrating perfectly with him/her.
The radiator liquid is
contained in the front/top right area of the tank, winning further space
to the benefit of the 60° V twin engine, fully exposed in all its
technological might.
A variable geometry
double beam is fitted around the retuned 1,000cc Mille motor which has
been tuned to provide 100 horsepower.
