2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 First Ride Review

Returning to the US after a multi-year hiatus, the latest generation of Aprilia’s Caponord 1200 is back. The revised Caponord graces American shores as a 2015 model, having made its debut a year earlier in the Europe (where Aprilia never stopped selling the previous version).

The American-only version of the Capo is the kitted out Travel Pack version, which includes integrated saddlebags (easily fits a Shoei RF-1200), centerstand, cruise control (third gear and higher), hand guards and a manually-adjustable windscreen. It’s a turn-key tourer, ready from day one with a 690-watt generator to power your accessories, including an underseat USB port (used in conjunction with the AMPS system, more on that later). Accessories like the top case, pillion saddle and tank bags are sold separately. The non-travel-pack version sold in Europe will not be available here in the States, but they can get the add-ons we have if they want them. The secondary dashboard/smartphone kit, known as AMPS, is also sold separately.
