APRILIA MANA 850 GT ABS 2013

1 tripExcellent 5/5

This AUTOMATIC sport-touring bike features a CVT transmission and is equivalent to a 7-speed transmission (per the manual). It does NOT feature a clutch lever--just twist and go--though it does feature thumb-actuated "paddle" shifters. It can be set to automatic or manual transmission mode. The transmission also features a blended shift mode, which is somewhat like the sport-shift on modern cars, allowing the transmission to shift automatically but you are still able to "downshift" using the thumb paddles for increased engine braking.

Aftermarket upgrades include: offset mirror mounts for better visibility, Puig touring windscreen, foam grips.

Due to being an (automatic) CVT transmission, this bike features a parking brake that is set when parking on a hill...to prevent it from rolling downhill when parked.

Features:

• Frunk storage fitting smaller gear, take-out meal, groceries, smaller helmet, etc. (see photo)
• Riding modes: Touring/Rain/Sport
• USB plug and 12-volt cigarette lighter style outlet (in the frunk)
• Lockable panniers
• Universal phone mount
• ABS
• Avg speed and real-time & Avg MPG readings

IMPORTANT: The pillion seat does not lock!

Optional Gear: I do have a very nice SW-Motech tail bag if you need more storage, but it is not suggested with this bike due to the rear fuel tank filler cap being under the pillion seat. This would require you to remove the tail bag at each fill-up.
