is it me or is the RXV pure sex? and its a v-twin

[crfsonly]

it is a pretty bike to be sure. the v-twin is a very interesting idea for off-road. if they can get the weight down this would be a very interesting option for manufacturers. the next 10 years in this industry is going to be very exciting.

how about that exhuast system...pretty sweet.

Is this a new trail bike? Ive never seen or heard of it, really! Is that name the main maker or does like honda make it? Anyway it looks like a beast! Which is good....

[Travis]

aprilia is the make the model is the RXV. they also have a different model called SXV and it has a wider swing arm for a street slick.

Ken i do like the that exhaust also i like that diamond shape swingarm

[crfsonly]

the swing arm shape is very interesting. i wonder what the mechanical properties...i.e. is it stronger and lighter than the standard design used by most off-road manufacturers. i'm sure they have all looked at this as a place to reduce weight.

they talk alittle about it here. Just saying its the most ridgid on any dirtbike. which i can understand all modern 600 and up sport bikes have an extra brace on them. but they aren't artisticly designed like this one.http://www.aprilia.com/models03/offroad/eng/modello_txt.phtml?id=96
