If you want the Mana 850 to come stateside start writing in earnest to the main company, otherwise, like so many great bikes, this will also remain in Europe. And yes it is being sold currently.
Here is the news.
APRILIA MANA 850 PRICE INFO
26 November 2007
The latest from Aprilia UK;
In today’s high tech, multi-functional world, comes the Aprilia NA 850 Mana, featuring state-of-the-art technology at only £6,369 on the road. And for that you get multiple choice ride control – including a high tech sequential manual gear change or fully automatic mode.
Yes, for £6,369 Aprilia offers you the best of both worlds. The Mana has the gearbox of the future and an engine with a primary drive system, based on an electronically controlled, sequential transmission that offers the rider a choice of control modes. The rider decides whether to change gear, using the conventional foot lever or a switch on the handlebars, to move smoothly between the seven pre-selected gear ratios. Or, opt for the fully automatic mode (Autodrive) and the CVT transmission keeps the engine running at maximum torque speed for optimum pick-up and acceleration.
The Sportgear Autodrive transmission offers a choice of three mappings:
Touring – for minimum fuel consumption and maximum usability.
Sport – for top performance with powerful and smooth acceleration.
Rain – for reduced torque on wet or slippery roads.
There is even a semi-autodrive mode which allows the rider only to change down independently, particularly useful for overtaking at maximum torque revs or for boosting engine braking when riding downhill.
Not sure? Well, you can switch from Autodrive to sequential mode and back at any time, irrespective of riding conditions. How about that to add to the thrill of riding, with lightning fast gear changes!
The 90 degree V-twin engine is the perfect match for this type of transmission, being chosen for torque and power delivery. The engine delivers 76 bhp and well in excess of 7kgm of torque.
The first batch of Aprilia 850 Mana bikes are due into showrooms any day now, so for details of your nearest official Aprilia dealer go to www.aprilia.com/uk or telephone 01293 823891 for further information. The characteristics that make the 850 Mana unique are: 90° V-Twin engine with four valves per cylinder, Euro 3 homologated Sportgear transmission with electronically controlled sequential gearshift offering two shift modes – seven speed manual or Autodrive with three mappings: Touring; Sport and Rain Electronic fuel injection with single throttle body Steel trellis frame with single piece aluminium swingarm 43 mm upside down forks equipped with radial caliper race developed brakes The Aprilia 850 Mana, with its exclusive and unmistakable Italian design and state-of-the-art motorcycle technology is unique among motorcycles. On the road price includes 24 months warranty and 12 months European roadside assistance.
I think the price would be roughly $11900 US.
