In case you felt like the 2007 SXV 450 was not delivering enough evil, Aprilia has prepared the SXV 550 version, a supermoto machine which is ready to take on both urban traffic and the race track. A beastly racer in a street-legal guise, the 2007 Aprilia SXV 550 is hard to beat in most occasions, especially when ridden with a daring hand.

The 2008 Aprilia SXV 550 is a half-liter supermoto machine created for the riders who dare. Powerful and with surprising amounts of torque already available from the lower rpm range, this bike was engineered to be ridden hard. It is one of the best machines if street supremacy is what you're after and it is probably the best city slicer out there.

A 550cc supermoto beast such as the 2010 Aprilia SXV 550 is a force to be reckoned with, both on the street an on the race track. Derived from Aprilia's racing program and sharing many of the components and technologies used in the pro-class bikes, the 2010 SXV 550 is not eactly a toy for inexperienced riders. It is easy to ride and intuitive, but can instantaneously become a savage beast for smoking rolling drifts.
