Aprilia Mana Insurance

Design: 

• Bike features a half fairing in front with an adjustable windshield which helps with the touring duties.
• The steel trellis frame holds the partially visible 90* V-Twin Engine with the radiator in front, just under the fairing.
• The bike has been designed to keep the centre of gravity low.
• The 16 litre fuel tank sits under the rider seat; this keeps most of the mass under the rider & makes the bike ‘feel’ 40 kilos lighter than it actually is.
• The huge tank acts as a storage space which can accommodate one full face helmet along with motorcycle papers. It features light for night time usage as well as a 12V port to charge phones on the go.
• At 2080 mm x 800 mm x 1270 mm (L x W x H) Aprilia ManaGT is quite a tall bike. However, short riders won’t be uncomfortable on it.

Power & Performance:

The V-Twin on Mana GT has a linear power delivery. The torque comes in early that helps in over taking vehicles both in city & highways. The CVT transmission is smooth with a nice feel when up-shifting or downshifting.

Braking & Handling:

 Due to the low centre of gravity Mana GT handles very nicely for a 200kg+ bike. The corners are handled with aplomb. The 43mm non-adjustable front upside down forks work well on Indian roads. However, they dive under hard braking. The mono shock at the rear is offers adjustment for both spring preload & rebound damping. 120/70 17’ tyre in front & 180/55 17’ tyres in the rear give Mana GT nice handling both on straights & twists.

• The seats are big & plush for comfortable city & highway riding.
• Mana GT features dual 320mm disk brakes at front & a single 260mm disc at the rear.
• The bike features safety net of dual channel ABS provided by Continental.

What Insurance cover to opt for:

 A superbike & that too an Italian CBU is a costly affair. A comprehensive cover helps in keeping the minor falls go easy on your pocket.

• Zero debt insurance is the way to go if one accidently manages to drop the bike.
• Italian beauties always catch unwanted attention of thieves & thus an Anti-Theft package is must for your vehicle.
