Positioned in Aprilia's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 features a 749.9 cc (45.8 cu in) twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90.3 HP (65.9 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 82 Nm (60.5 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 120.4 HP per liter and a 4,250 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 rpm) and peak power (8,750 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Dorsoduro 750 measures 186 kg (410 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.49 HP/kg (2.06 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 870 mm (34.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
