2011 Aprilia Tuareg Confirmed

[xcsp]

Just received the July issue of Motorcyclist and on page 22 it says the Piaggio USA reps have confirmed the new 750cc Shiver-based adventure tourer coming in 2011, and a 1200 version to follow-in 2012?

The weight of the Tuareg is to be 440 lbs or less. It also showed a picture/sketch of the bike but I was unable to find anything on the 'net that looked like what they showed in the magazine.

Isn't Google wonderful? (I clicked the Images link and then did the search.)

This one is supposed to be the 1200:

What makes it better than my WeeStrom? For the $$ difference, just wondering?

I have never seen an Aprilia dealership. You think BMW dealerships are scarce on a road trip? Find an Aprilia dealer.

Pretty looking though. I'm having a little buyers regret I didn't get a DRZ400 for dual-sport fun.

The renderings you show are nothing like what was shown in Motorcyclist. It will look more Shiver-like with the rear shock exposed on the right side and more BMW-looking.

Yes, Aprilia dealerships are scarce, and that would be a concern.
