Aprilia RST1000 Futura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RST1000 Futura is a motorcycle made by Aprilia for the purpose of Sport-touring. The Aprilia RST 1000 Futura was new for 2001. It is equipped with a V2 four stroke liquid cooled style engine that is producing 103 horsepower (85 kW) at 9250 rpm and 96 N·m (71 ft·lbf) of torque. The bike is set up with a 6-speed transmission and is chain driven. This bike also has electric start and fuel-injection from the factory. The bike came off the factory line at the dry weight of 210 kilograms (463 pounds). The Aprilia RST 1000 Futura received a 75.5 out of 100 on the points scale.
The bike sports bulky and angular shape which divided critics. Some thought it was innovative and made it "look like an F-117", some said it was just too bulky.
Due to rather poor sales, Aprilia is going to revive the Futura by giving it a new, 1200cc engine.
