Announced in Milan last Fall, the Aprilia Mana 850 heralded, perhaps, the beginning of an era of automatic transmissioned motorcycles.
The new Mana 850 has now entered production, and here are some photos of the beautiful naked machine. Aprilia is also using this engine/transmission combination in a large scooter, but automatic transmission scooters are fairly commonplace now, of course.
The 850cc ninety-degree v-twin should provide plenty of power, and we hope to have the opportunity to test this bike and report back to you.
