The story continues with my new Aprilia RXV 550, a two cylinder and there is a trend visible here; From my first motorcycle, one and two cylinders succeeded each other. This motorcycle is pretty exclusive and therefore it was very difficult to find one. It’s the latest red frame model, full throttle tuned at 78 BHP. That is a lot from only 550cc.. It’s a high performance racing engine which can rev up to 11.500rpm! With only 128 kg it is slightly lighter than my 690 (at 138) but I will be adding weight by mounting a 12 liter fuel tank. Before I do a rally conversion, I will have a few weeks to get to learn it a little bit before the winter starts. This will give me the opportunity to decide which parts to keep and which ones I will change. I will start a separate post for the build.
