APRILIA - 850 MANA
Yes, that's integrated helmet storage.... and right side chain drive.... and a direct no-linkage, offset rear shock. Couple that w/ Aprilia's own V4 that's in testing right now & I'd say they're definitely taking a different approach on some things.

A review from some guy in the UK on another forum.
What a blast! Coolest scoot I've ever ridden! Once you've got used to the lack of a clutch lever it is grintastic! It has 3 maps that you can change between on the move depending on your mood. We have Rain mode, Touring mode and Sport mode. But to be honest, hooning around North London, touring mode was the best, the sport mode just adds a bit of whoooomphh, or va va voom!
It can be ridden as a totally automatic or you can go up or down gears at will via the foot switch ala a 'normal' bike or the + or - buttons on the bar where the clutch lever should be. The gear changes are smooth as silk.
The bike has a false fuel tank which lifts up with enough space for a full face lid. If I were comuting in London regularly I would definitely get one. The seat is super comfy and the sit up and beg bars are ideal for commuting mode. The only downer is the price, a hefty £6,300.
