Bought my Aprilia Atlantic 500 with only 1200 miles on the clock. Nice bike while it is working. However fixing it is dam expensive. Be ready to be shocked. Parts are not redily available and take forever to get compared with the ease of japanese parts. Electrics are a nightmare and will let you down ultimately. Better to buy a mainstream jap scooter which will give less headaches.- Read michaelhare's review (102 words)

It looks good, cruises great. 2004 needs the manufacturer to fix the gas venting problem. I think it is a perfect bike once everything is fixed.- Read Guest's review (25 words)

Its too heavy, unreliable and not particulary comfortable for a pillion passenger. My wife hated it. Fule consuption and performance no where near as good as my slightly smaller engined Burgman 400 K4 - but the burgamn is lightly and faf far more pleasant to use - plus the reliability of Japanese machines.
I have said it all in the bad points really - I would like to try the Nexus with the same (overal Master engine - but I wasnt impressed with the X9 500!- Read Bob Morris's review (88 words)

What can I say? It's great to have an Aprilia Atlantic, but the bad points take over. A real shame!- Read Guest's review (40 words and 2 comments)

I bought it used and have had two problems with it.
Had to replace voltage regulator, around $200 for the part.
Reworked the closed fuel system venting, as gases would cause the engine to stall when hot. Took a while to find out about the fix for that.
Other than that this Atlantic is fun to drive.
Dealers are starting to show up again, one in my area in the past few months.
Seems to be holding value, cost around $3500. Even after about a year I still see them being sold about the same pric ...- Read gyronutjoe's review (169 words)

The Aprilia Atlantic is a nice bike and pleasant to ride, but flawed in some key areas. Avoid unless you like tinkering with auto transmissions and acres of plastic to do any repairs!
Choppy ride on poor surfaces, quite heavy and tricky to ride slowly around tight bends and roundabouts. Transmission sometimes very noisy and harsh despite fitting Polini Clutch (new belt may help apparently but it looks OK to me). Alarming recent rise in oil level which would suggest the fuel is mixing with the o ...- Read sibiker's review (219 words)

I have enjoyed this bike. Like someone else I gave up bikes for a hip replacement and have never looked back. I enjoy riding this - a bit more positive roadholding and a bit more grunt would be good but I may be influenced by the SW (which is fast and greedy and more like a bike). It was cheap at the time and has been good value for me. I'd recommend it but remember big scooters are big and they are heavy - this weighs around 210 kg vs 150-160 for a 500 cc bike.- Read shayman's review (303 words)

I'm writing this as a biker temporarily forced on to a scooter while awaiting a hip replacement. My comments may have a bit of anti scooter bias. My comments are based on 15 months, 2 winters and 12.000 miles.
I bought the Aprilia Atlantic 500 bike for a 60 miles per day commute, which includes motorway and therefore needed 80mph plus capability. I needed a step through with a highish seat height to footboard relationship, and the Atlantic was the only machine I found that fitted these requir ...- Read williamr's review (689 words)

I did not plan on buying an Aprilia Atlantic 500, but they had no burgman 400's left. Salesman cut the price and told me about the A500. I thought I would take a chance. Best move I ever made. I love the scooter. People stop me all the time asking about it. I have a honda magna and no one has ever asked me about it.- Read john wagner's review (95 words)

The 2003 Aprilia Atlantic 500 Scooter has 6337 miles on the 460cc Piaggio Single cylinder, four stroke, liquid cooled, SOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine. Top speed 98-103 mph. You can add Rumble Road speakers http://www.mhinstruments.com/products/ combined with the Boostaroo amplifier http://www.boostaroo.com/store_category.php4 make Steppenwolf sound good up to 70 mph. The cruise control and the Laminar Lip plus the 48-56 mpg make for a nice trip.- Read bcc333's review (155 words)

The Aprilia Atlantic 500 is a behemoth of a Scooter. It has great comfort level and gives you a safe feeling whilst commuting both in the city and on the motorway. The only reason I am selling my bike is the poor service of Aprilia. I hated the company and the way they handle their customers. There are dozens of examples about how they treat thier customers. If you only want a good scooter cruiser dont hesitate to buy one. If you think you will need servicing, parts and a company standing behind ...- Read ertendeg's review (120 words)
