The Aprilia Mana 850 is an idiosyncratic Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia, that has been described by Motor Cycle News as "a sort of half-scooter, half motorcycle designed to be the bike for all occasions.".[2]
The Mana has an 839 cc 90° V-twin engine with automatic transmission (CVT). The transmission has three mode settings: Sport, Touring, and Rain. Sport mode provides maximum power, engine braking, and torque; Touring mode scales back the responsiveness and improves fuel savings; Rain mode reduces torque by 25%. The transmission can also be set to Manual (gearbox) and shifted using the standard foot-shift or paddle-shifters mounted on the left grip. The instrument panel includes a gear indicator. The Mana 850 is also available as a partially faired option known as the Mana 850 GT.
Sport Rider magazine tested the Mana at 13.49 sec. @ 97.72 mph (157.27 km/h) over the 1⁄4 mile (400 m).[1]
