Re: Wanted Aprilia Caponord
I loved my Capo. I am actually of thinking of getting another or holding out for a KTM 990SMT. Good luck.....you will not be disappointed with the Capo.

Re: Wanted Aprilia Caponord
Thank you
I've owned a Vstrom and a BMW GS in the past, and I'm thinking this bike is sort of a blend of the two. Is that your impression after riding one? |

Re: Wanted Aprilia Caponord
The v-twin is awesome and the seating position is great. The cons are the non-adjustable suspension, weak rear brake, and the brown connector problem. All can be fixed pretty easily.

Re: Wanted Aprilia Caponord
FYI, there are a couple of Capos available for sale on the first page of AF1's for sale forum. I know nothing of 'em, but do love them Rotax V-twins in my bikes.
 Best of luck.

Re: Wanted Aprilia Caponord
Black '08 abs in Dallas craigslist iirc. Price was $5-6k range. I think it had a pretty complete set of luggage and maybe low miles? Can't remember... been about a month or so back in time. Might still be there if you hurry.
Yep, it's still up, but I'm on the road using my Acer a100, so I can't paste a 'true' link for you, sorry... http://Dallas.Craigslist.org/dal /mcy/3146632009.html jack b.  inmidland, tx . usa

Re: Wanted Aprilia Caponord
Nice bike Eric!!! WOW!
-Themacway I've emailed the person and got a quick, generic reply that it is still for sale. The person was probably at work and couldn't answer the (many) other questions I thought of and sent to them. Maybe I'll hear something soon.. Thank you for your help Let me know if anyone wants to see pictures of my FJR.. I haven't decided a price yet. |

Re: Wanted Aprilia Caponord
As much as I like the older ones I do not like the newer models they look too streetable with the lower hanging exhaust and other suburbanesque features.
Anyone reading this and PM'S me I'll make sure you get a good deal on my FJR where I've decided to slash my bikes price. |

I was going to meet the seller in that ad up at the Greyhound station up in Dallas where he was going to pick me up for a drive and buy. However before committing on my date I asked this seller for some recent pics so he said he would email them to me on Sat.( This was last Sat 01/09) When I called him that very night he did not answer. I then sent him a short email. No reply. Then called him again on Sunday, nothing. Then finally on Monday with an email asking him if he sold the bike and still nothing. It seems as if he disappeared off the planet!  So finally on Tuesday it was off to look at other bikes I'm thinking the seller might have low-balled himself or found another buyer or was just basically giving me a snow job. Then I decided to look for different options.. Wednesday comes and I'm sifting through the Dallas Craigslist and guess what shows up? Lo and behold this guy reposted the very same ad that caught me in the first place!! If this bike is for real I want it but I don't have any idea of how to get ahold of the seller His name is Jan (Jon) he lives in Garland and I happen to have his address, however, he is not contacting me. I could use some help with those folks from Dallas who might be able of giving me a look-see of that bike. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/3250930033.html Thanks |

One just popped up in Houston (Conroe). Looks very clean:
