Are the Aprilia SXV's ok for on the road? Whats the top speed?

[collywog19]

i own a 610 2000 model and they are fine on the road. Plenty of power and i think its about 110 mph top speed dependant on gearing.

You really can't compare an SXV to a Husky SM!!

Ones a fat lardy heavy mid-tuned road based bike and the other is a highly tuned high maintenance race spec bike!!!

Col misses out the fact that his ate the camshaft the other week....

Apparantly there's a new KTM 654cc single engine producing around 60hp stock going to be out next year - so says bike magazine

However, I think it may be in the queue for their lardier bikes.

As I think I mentioned before, if you want a really fast supermoto, get a tuned CR500 conversion.
