Description

Aprilia’s SXV550 was an absolute monster that journalists fell in love with as soon as it was released – Visor Down said “only nutters need apply“.

It’s a supermoto with a powerful V-Twin, excellent components, and race-bred pedigree: the bike had already won the S2 World Supermoto Championship as a prototype before it was released to the world. Unfortunately, early (2007) bikes had serious issues with the sealant used in the engine cases. If spotted quickly, you could reseal the motor and everything would be fine. If not, water would get into the oil and you’d be looking at a V-Twin paperweight. Thankfully, Aprilia had sorted it out by 2008, and customers were rewarded with a full-on race bike that was somehow street legal.

The Aprilia was a revolution in the world of supermoto, ditching the traditional single for a beefy V-Twin that popped out a staggering 70 horsepower at 10,500 rpm for a bike that weighed about 280 pounds! MCN said it was “going to change the way the world thinks about supermotos forever.”

The trade-off was service intervals, as the race maintenance schedule called for new pistons and a shim check after 60 hours. Regular street riding would increase that number by several factors, however. What else would you expect from a race bike with lights?

Manufactured August 2006, this example is VIN: ZD4VSC5077S000283. The seller acquired the bike from a private party in Salinas, California approximately six years ago. I have owned 3 Aprilia SXVs. Haven’t ridden anything else that gives me the same feeling but life has gotten in the way

During his ownership the seller has covered approximately 800 miles. The odometer shows 3,903 miles.

Maintenance:
The seller states that he “brought it to Amauri Nunez for engine work immediately after buying it (have receipt). He also changed the Sprag clutch and battery.” He adds that “Since then I have changed the starter and muffler along with normal maintenance (oil, coolant, brake pads/fluid, spark plugs, filters).”
