Aprilia SVX by Simone Conti Motorcycles

.  

The Aprilia SXV 450 and 550 supermotard, which weighted 122 kg, was not quite a succsess for Aprilia due to an unreliable engine.

 

It did not stop Simone Conti Motorcycles taking the problamatic SXV 77° 550cc v-twin which has a dry sump and has a separate oil tank for the gearbox and engine, pushing around 70hp, to produce this custom sport bike.

 

Everything, excluding the engine, is the work of SCM which they rebuilt from scratch: the metal bodywork giving shape to the machine and helping to frame the v-twin engine in its custom chassis. 

 

Aprilia SXV is a hard tail design with a double-wishbone front-end with a unique front shock absorber, while the rear is rigid.  The finish is of high quality with two underbelly exhausts, and the Aprilia SXV 550 by Simone Conti weighs 130 kg / 269 lbs.
