Aprilia's profilation of this bike |
The 77° V angle is the result of extensive testing, aimed not only at boosting power but also at reducing vibration. As a result Aprilia’s engineers have been able to eliminate engine balancer shafts. Despite this the engine still vibrates far less than any single cylinder alternative. |
