This was a bike that i had on my radar a while back, but at the time there was very few of them around. I still think that it's one of the best looking duel sports bikes. Great review as always. 👍🙂

I used to own a 750, very fun bike. Upgraded with ohlins suspension and sc project mufflers. A different exhaust saves 20 pounds, li-ion battery another few kilos. Its easy to make it lighter 👍🏻

Yes I could see it being very good with some choice mods as the basic bike is lovely!

Looks stunning, I like it a lot. Thanks for including this beauty!

I had a Dorsoduro 750 FACTORY which has the upgraded fully adjustable suspension for 5 years and it was one of the best bikes I've owned. It sounds amazing, looks amazing and with a few mods goes like the clappers. A super-moto it is not but it looks and feels similar with the added bonus of comfort. I did trips through France and Germany with no issues other than a bit of wind blast and being a slightly unusual bike it gets a lot of attention. One of the biggest down sides for me was the tank range, 80 miles to reserve if you're lucky so fuel stops had to be planned. Other than that it is simply a Brilliant bike! Not as powerful as the KTM or Ducati but not far off and IMO looks the best of the bunch. It's the gentleman's super motard while the KTM/Ducati are parked in the garage next to a souped up cosworth :) If you like the looks of the Dorsoduro but want more power check out the Dorsoduro1200. Chops, every thought about doing a review of the Aprilia Caponord would be interested in what you think.

As an ex-owner if an Sxv550 I can confirm is was everything it was cracked up to be, and way way more. Such a shame about the reliability issues with the early bikes that also went on to haunt the later bikes image. I'd still have another in a heart beat. I met a Dorso owner once, asked him if it was reliable, he said he drove the bike from Eastern Europe (somewhere, perhaps Poland) to the UK and it didn't miss a beat. I think he was even doing courier work on it tbh. Not sure how much the 1200 Dorso weighs, but maybe that could be the one...?

The Dorsoduro 1200 is what you want. It just has real grunt. Something that heavy shouldn’t be able to go that fast. 230kg is ridiculous, but you feel like you’re on a supercharged rhinoceros. Despite the size, it doesn’t feel cumbersome or too big for its own good. It’s one of those things you ride that makes you feel like the road is yours. It won’t take corners as fast as some bikes, but it’s good enough if you know how to really handle it. The further and more often you push it, the better you get a handle on it, so it’s a total hooligan’s dream. There are downsides, namely the expense and fear of damaging it by pushing it too hard. Original parts like fairings are rare as hens teeth and not cheap. If it had a fuel gauge and you saw how quickly the fuel gauge bars plummeted during your test drive, you’d realise then why Aprilia refuse to put the a gauge on a bike like this. It’s a great ride for a daily commute, but not a cheap one… and depending on your temperament, a safe one neither.

My son is going to buy a 900 as I type this. He tested one yesterday and was surprised how light the bike was. He did have a Harley before this.

Good review chops 👍 I like the bike it's looks great price is very good 👍 thanks from danny

Thanks this will help me decide

I’ve always wondered about buying bikes that have limited import runs, especially Italian, in terms of long term support. I had a Varadero 1000 once, which was not nearly as popular as Honda would have liked. It was a pig to get parts for, and when a brake calliper mount cracked, I had to wait three months for a lower fork leg to come from Japan. Perhaps the limited import runs of these is reflected by the high insurance. Will the Dorso be as well supported as the Tuono long term, do you think? Not that many Aprilia dealers UK wide. (or Guzzi either) If you want Italian, Apart from Ducati, I think you have to be dedicated. However, you can’t knock the value for money, looks or quality of finish. Tempting.

I suppose everything you ride getting off you're H2 and GSXR is going to feel a bit under powered for a bike you say is hard to wheely you make it look very easy getting it up no pun intended 🤔🤔🤔👍👍top vid chops 👍👍🏍️🏍️🏍️

I Own few years ago the 1200cc version, with 130hp, thats another planet.

The word lovely came up more than the front wheel, So think it’s a non starter, on the grins per mile factor. It is a bit of a looker though 👍

How does it compare to KTM's 950 and 990 SM's?

Good review Lamb Chop

Since it's not quite a real supermoto, but a nice easy ride, how would you think it compares to the Aprilia Shiver? The Shiver uses the exact same engine and specs, but it's a naked style bike instead of the supermoto style, and at least here in Canada, it costs a whole whopping $2000 less than the Dorsoduro. Other than the styling, the only other difference I see between the two is the Dorsoduro has a bit of a longer suspension travel (160mm front and 155 rear vs. 120mm front and 130mm rear on the Shiver), 3L extra fuel capacity on the shiver (12L vs. 15L), and the Shiver does weigh a bit more at 218kg vs 186kg (both numbers dry).

I had the 1200 before and just purchased the 900. Smooth bike but definitely lack of power unfortunately ;(

Bit of a random one chops but an enjoyable review nonetheless! I do actually quite like this bike. I tried this & the Shiver out a while ago & surprised myself by much preferring this to the Shiver. However it's not really a supermoto, more of a stylised supermoto inspired naked as you've obviously worked out yourself. I think they stopped importing it due to emissions regs which they subsequently rectified for the 900 but it killed off the Dorso 1200 permanently sadly.

And albeit everytime the dorso/shiver 900 get tested they fall down because they lack a few horses and are a tad heavyer the the competition even then, the tester always say they are good bikes... so why do they refuse to make a real factory :/ A real missed oportunity.

Get the Dorso and pocket the rest. Wait until 5/10 becomes 9/10 and then think about the Hyper. Also, Aprilia seems to have good reliability. Ducati? Notsomuch...

I've bought shiver 900 from Wheels motorcycles and I love it. It's just different to everything else out there.

i love mine as well. just got it back from the 2nd service and OMG! It seems like the throttle bodys have been recalibrated / mapping got updated. it is so damn smooth now - before it was a tad harsh on the gas (going from little to WOT) and as harsh while closing it...(a lot engine brake) now its smooth as silk. i love it. But i am with chopps, it could be a little lighter....and it should have around 105HP... ....i find myself looking for the forged tuono/rsv4 rims from time to time...and wonder if those rims and an akrapovic would really make the difference one should think... And guys really really really get rid of the stock tires and put some decent ones on. I still can not believe how bad the stock tires are...mine got s21s on that service and with all the other stuff it is a new much much better bike!

Just needs a sprinkling of Lamb Chops magic dust to turn it into the bike could be.

Seems like an aluminum exhaust would do wonders for this bike. And a fuel gauge, I can't understand not having one in the 21st century.

2:37 The bike is 187kg? This bike is made for me

That sounded like my old honda sp1 with scorpion exhaust
