The Aprilia SXV 5.5 is uncomfortable, impractical and could be the silliest way to spend nearly $10K. And we love it!
If you're considering an SXV, you won't be much concerned with practicality. Nor should you. This is one of the most grin-inducing scoots available at any price, giving it a stratospheric score in the desirability index.
Those who have been following the emerging supermoto class are already familiar with the category's roots - basically fitting street-biased tires and larger brakes to a dirtbike and cutting down the springs to reduce chassis pitch. Big fun, especially for those who cut their motorcycle teeth riding off-road bikes.
