When it comes to style, Aprilia is certainly one of the most talented motorcycle manufacturers the world has seen. The Atlantic 300 is another beautiful creation of the Italian manufacturer and its unique appearance combines practicality with sportiness in a tasty package.
But, exterior beauty is only the first part of the equation. The second one is even more interesting as the Aprilia Atlantic 300 hides a lot of modern technologies under its sporty skin.
