Has anyone else heard that Aprilia is discontinuing the Caponord and it no longer appears on their 2008 bike list?

Suspect its ture as its been mentioned on the Capo forum.......can't ask my local dealer as he given up teh dealer ship and everthing else

To be replaced by a 850 manta or shiver ( something like that )

Very smooth and comfy, more tourer than an adventure bike as there heavy ! Engine is more like a in line 4 than a twin. More than enough power for everyday needs. Great pillion bike and good value but poor resale valves.

cheers for that. just thinking ahead a year or two when i may be looking at a bigger bike. Varadero is too big and ugly! AfricaTwin too tall. will be staying with the big "trailbike" look.
