Aprilia Mana 850 - Only 560 mi - Better than New w Accessories

Aprilia Mana 850560 miles - if you wanted one new, ere's your chance.
Every once in awhile, ne sneaks through almost unused & meticulously maintained.
The Aprilia Mana is a very unique, ruly authentic Italian sport/touring bike. This one is nicer than any demo bike you've ever seen. With the accessoriesand meticulous care, t really is better than new.
I think it's fair to say Aprilia made a pretty bold move with the Mana. This is the type of bike that will reserve a special place in the motorcycle timeline. An automatic transmission like Audi helped popularize and paddle shifters if you prefer to run the gears yourself. It has some very wise commuter/traveler features -- a tank that serves as storage for a helmet and comes complete with a power supply to charge your mobile devise. All wrapped in a flingable steel trellis frame and pushed about by a strong, apable v-twin motor.Quintessentially Italian!
50+ Photos --I've tried to capture enough detail to give a very thorough impression of the bike. Like new is accurate. There isn't even a trace of wear on the brake rotors, hain or sprockets. The oil has been changed seasonally (it certainly didn't need it based on mileage). Take a complete tour of the bike by following this link --

History --So, ow did this happen? Well, he original owner bought it with the intention of making some epic long distance trips. Hence the addition of the very nice Shad top case and wind screen. He also had the dealer install a Scorpio alarm system. All accessories come with the bike.
Health issues continued to interfere with any riding, et alone a big trip. Hopeful, e kept bringing it to the dealer for service which really amounted to oil changes and a check of all fluids. Meanwhile, he bike stayed inside -- and I mean in the house on carpet. A member of the family, ou could say.
Wheels and exhaust are composed of very well designed and executed components. Excellent fit and finish throughout on these bikes. These parts offer evidence just how new the bike is. Not even a hint of use on the brakes, prockets and chain.
The tank is a nice surprise on this bike. The storage component opens with a button on the front side of the left grip (see 3rd pic). Under the lid, here is room for a full face helmet and a power outlet to plug in mobile phones, tc. This set a new standard for a sport bike doubling as a daily commuter.
The overall lines of this bike are unmistakably Italian and sporting. The gas fill is located under the seat. This allowed for lower overall center of gravity. The Mana has a pretty short wheel base. It just about begs to be flicked from side to side. Very easy to enjoy.
Lights and lenses are in excellent shape. The windshield is very well made and was also dealer installed.
Aprilia put quite a bit of engineering into this bike. The on board computer in the dash is extensive. Electronically controlled riding modes -- Sport, ouring and Rain are easy to access from handlebar switch. Ride by wire my friend.
A brand new Aprilia Mana would run north of $10K. This one has another $1000 in accessories. Here is your chance to buy a nicely equipped one that is as new as they come -- at a significant savings. Ready to enjoy.
Foot pegs are at sport bike levels, ut not extreme. This bike is comfortable. They no doubt had commuting and touring in mind as well as sport riding. A unique aspect is the parking brake (3rd pic). A necessary component of the "Sport gear system", eally handy and well made.
The original toolkit and manuals are included and in the kind of shape you'd expect. Notice the spare key has not even had the factory sleeve removed. It's hasn't even been programmed! There is a booklet of decals meant to record your bike. They also have not been used.
So, ere's your chance. This a no excuses, s new, howroom condition bike. It is also a really unique slice of Motorsports with the design, uild quality and fit and finish that are part of the highly regarded Aprilia brand.
