Information sources used for this website


The information on this site has been checked and evaluated whever possible and is based on the experiences of many owners. This site acts as a filter to 'boil down' the basic information and link out for more detail.

This website would not have been possible without the collective knowledge of Aprilia Futura owners the world over - the members of the AF1 Apriliaforum.

The forum members were of immense help to me and countless other new Futura riders, and is the place to go for help and advice.

Most of the technical information on this site came from forum members, and many of the images were sourced from there. In most cases I link back to the original source of information.

Since this website launched in December 2008 many owners have approached me direct with information and photos to improve the quality of information on this site.
