Aprilia RST 1000 Futura Best Used Bikes
Best Sport-Touring Bike, 2001.
By Cycle World August 12, 2010

Why it won: The angularly styled Futura (which, in its matte black version, does fair imitation of an F-117 stealth fighter) places its major emphasis on the "sport" half of its sport-touring mission. Its engine, based on that of the RSV Mille repli-racer, was retuned for more midrange, but its aluminum chassis is all its own. Its standout features include single-sided swingarm, an under-tail exhaust, quick-detach hard saddlebags and the most comfortable seat ever bolted onto any motorcycle that had the word "sport" in its description. On the open highway, the Futura is pleasant ride, even though its semi-sporty riding position is not quite as long-day comfy as that of some other bikes in the category. But on twisty backroad, it carves up the curves just about as effectively as its racier sibling.
From the 2001 Ten Best story: "The Mille-based V-Twin makes competitive power, and its twin-spar aluminum chassis elevates class standards for handling. And the styling...well, love it or leave it, the Italian designers deserve credit for daring to be different."
