Bike Life

Having a bike in your life that you can fall in love with might be a foreign concept to a lot of people, but then those people have, more than likely, not met the Aprilia Mana 850.

This beautiful example of Italian passion in motorcycles is a full sized 850cc twin V, four stroke motor that has been engineered with some wonderfully unique features.

Some may say that it is very Italian to have come up with an automatic mode for the transmission of the Mana 850. Much like a scooter, this Aprilia will change gears automatically in tight urban situations around town and then, when the road opens up, you have three engine mapping settings to choose from.

At the flick of a switch, the Aprilia Mana 850 goes from Touring Mode, to Sport mode, to Rain Mode. In manual mode there are seven ratios, or gears giving the Aprilia Mana 850 a perfect gear for every situation.

A bike like this you can fall in love with. Take my word for it. It will never replace your spouse, but it will definitely add a wonderful new dynamic to your bike life.

East Coast Motorcycles have a Mana 850 on the floor, why not pop into their showroom and get closer to this Italian beauty, she could be yours. Call them on 031 566 3024 or visit the Mana 850 at 10 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge.
