The Aprilia ETV 1000 Caponord, produced from 2001 to 2007, was a groundbreaking motorcycle that aimed to bridge the gap between sport touring and adventure riding. This Italian-made machine was powered by a 992 cc, 90-degree V-twin engine, known for its potent power delivery and smooth, refined character. The Caponord's engine, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, delivered a respectable 95 horsepower and 73 lb-ft of torque, making it capable of both spirited riding and comfortable long-distance touring. The ETV 1000 Caponord was built around a sturdy steel trellis frame, offering a balance of rigidity and flexibility for an enjoyable riding experience. Its suspension consisted of a fully adjustable 43 mm Marzocchi fork and a Sachs monoshock at the rear, offering adaptable handling for various road conditions. The bike featured a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear, further enhancing its versatility. Notably, the Caponord's design incorporated features like a high-mounted exhaust, a full-fairing with adjustable windscreen, and a spacious fuel tank, making it a comfortable and practical choice for long journeys. However, despite its innovative design and performance, the ETV 1000 Caponord was not a commercial success, leading to its discontinuation in 2007, paving the way for the introduction of the Caponord 1200 in 2012.
