I have grown up on dirt bikes all my life, I’m never really comfortable on a rocket. I’m not 100% comfortable on my dads 06 soft tail. Ive always been comfortable on a motocross style bike. well seeing we are picking up aprilia Aprilia SVX450 V twin taking 12,500 RPM’s I love this bike ![http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t4/87conquestTSi/p00657_0111.jpg](http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t4/87conquestTSi/p00657_0111.jpg) ---

for the supermoto’s yes. Cost MSRP is like 8ish I know a guy at BIMP got his for 7500 I can get it for dealer. He has had his for 2 or 3 seasons and has checked valves and chained oil when the race 450s have been thru 2-4 motors lol Im not sure on power yet, But this will not make it on the showroom EDIT: looks like 60 BHP for the 450 and 70 for the 550 I’ll want to stay in the 450 class ---

i was there every week year before last at bimp, didn’t get a chance this year between the job change and new house. i just have a drz400sm, change the oil and ride the stupid thing and enjoy. the early Sxv’s had about a 90% mortality rate the past few years, i hope they got the bugs worked out of them for your sake, there are a LOT of the used market with new nearly unstarted 08’ motors b/c the owners just want out while it’s still moving under it’s own power and not leaking oil out of every orifice. rebuild cycle calls for annual piston and ring job which is what really scares me as far as operating costs. if you actually want to ride your bike i’d look elsewhere, if you want it living on a stand in your garage/dealer waiting for warranty parts from the motherland get a european exotic. don’t get me wrong, when it’s going you’ll blow my doors off on one wheel at nearly 100lbs less weight than my steel framed antique, and almost twice the hp. [www.supermotojunkie.com](http://www.supermotojunkie.com) is a great SM forum, as well as [www.thumpertalk.com](http://www.thumpertalk.com) maybe as they become more popular the squids on the sport bikes will stop being ignorant and accept something else. jumping curbs and general hooligan antics are just so much fun. try this on your 600 here’s ryan moore a year and a half ago on his before it crapped out ---
