Aprilia srv 850

I do like the looks of the new aprilia srv 850 scooter with 76bhp ( based on gilera gp800 scooter) a must for a test ride

i actually saw that bike in spain....awesome ride....was very surprise to see it is chain driven instead of a belt.

The BMW also has an enclosed chain final drive but is it possible that the CVT uses a belt in the usual way ??

We will have to wait till Fbruary to have a good look

Looks like Aprilia mated a Mana 850 with an RSV4. Not that that's a bad thing, but anyone needing or wanting the step-through ability of a scooter need not apply. Still, it does look pretty cool. I'll certainly take a look if they import it here.

Come to think of it, Honda could've done the same thing instead of coming up with a whole new design for the "Integra." Take the DN-01 and put some scooterish plastic copied from a CBR or VFR onto it, being sure to include some actual storage space. Well, that, and drop the price six or seven grand...

well the price has been anounced for the aprilia srv850 in the uk £7,799 in showrooms sometime in february £299 pounds more than new honda integra and £1,294 pounds more than the silverwing it shows that manufacturers are increasing prices by at least £1000 on new models how do they justify these prices i would like to no the real cost to build these bikes and how much the profit is on each bike they are now the same price as a small car rant over will have to wait for a secondhand one

I had a call from BMW in Bradford yesterday telling me that the C650GT is being launched by them on the 24th March so I have booked it for a day on the 31st He wouldn't enlighten me over the price , but am guessing its gunna be around the £8500 mark.

I have my name down at the Aprillia dealer too, just waiting for the nod

I chatted with a Honda dealer last week over the Interga, he hasn't had one enquiry over them yet...
