2011 Aprilia Sportcity 50 Features

DESIGN: A TRUE SPORTCITY
With their decisive, simple yet distinctive lines, one glance is enough to see that either is a true Sportcity. The compact yet protective front shield, generous seat, passenger grab handles and flat platform all compress maximum spaciousness into minimum space. The essential designs do not stop either from offering one of the best under-seat storage compartments in their class, with enough room for a full face helmet.

Thanks to an exceptionally rational design and clever use of space, the Sportcity 50 and 125 give you all the benefits of a prestige large wheel scooter at an unrivalled price. The Sportcity 50's and Sportcity 125's quality to price ratio are simply the best on the urban scooter market.

Compact size, comfort and practicality have always been winning features of the Sportcity range.

Now, they are taken to the logical next step. Superbly agile, the Sportcity 50 and 125 are the perfect antidotes to traffic despite their spaciousness and comfort. Generous, anatomically shaped seats offer plenty of room for rider and passenger. Flat platform also provides ample space for bulky objects.
The passenger grab handle is ergonomically shaped. And the complete but rational instruments deliver all the information you could possibly need, in a clear and intuitive manner.

CHASSIS
Designed for maximum rationality, the Sportcity 50's and Sportcity 125's frame is a classical open cradle frame in high strength steel tube. Thanks to careful engineering, this frame delivers excellent rigidity and gives a confidence-inspiring ride and an excellent level of active safety.
With 32 mm stanchions and a wheel travel of 85 mm, the hydraulic fork effectively smoothes out even the roughest road surfaces.

As with all scooters of the type, the engine-transmission assembly acts as swingarm and is damped by an adjustable shock absorber. A particularly generous wheel travel of 84 mm (one of the best for this category of scooter) achieves a smooth ride even on uneven and damaged road surfaces.
To keep both as compact as possible, 14 inch wheels have been combined with generous tubeless tyres (120/70 at the front and rear). Combined with the excellent frame, this suspension and wheel system gives either excellent stability and a truly intuitive ride that anybody can enjoy. A powerful 220 mm front disc with a two-piston floating caliper, plus a dependable 140 mm rear drum mean instant stopping.

THE ENGINES
Modern and ecological four stroke engines make Sportcity 50 and Sportcity 125 nippy in traffic as well as safe and comfortable. Thanks to advanced design and ultra-efficient combustion, these engines are sporty, clean running, and impressively economical to run. Simple design means robustness and reliability too. Both engines feature forced air cooling and a carburettor fuel system. Both models are equipped with a catalytic converter and conform to Euro 3 standards.

Almost 11 HP plus generous torque enable the Sportcity 125 to cruise effortlessly on fast main roads without exceeding the power limit permitted to holders of a B class licence (Italian legislation). Thanks to light weight, the 125 cc engine offers miserly fuel consumption as well as giving a top speed of 90 kph and the ability to tackle all traffic conditions.

The Sportcity One 50 offers an extremely economical solution for city center mobility, running for over 25 miles on one litre of fuel. Light weight and a sporty engine mean zippy acceleration at the traffic lights and take the Sportcity 50 to its permitted top speed in next to no time. Here is the perfect 50 for anybody wanting a touch of class as well as full membership of the Sportcity family

2012 Honda Ruckus Review

Press the start button, twist the throttle, and go. It really is that easy to get mobile on the radically designed Honda Ruckus.

What could be cooler than an economical scooter? How about one with an extra dose of attitude. The Ruckus® is Honda's bare-knuckle scooter that sets a new standard for cool.

The Honda Ruckus is so nimble, user-friendly and easy to park, you’ll want to ride this fun little knock-around scooter everywhere. The quiet 49 cc four-stroke engine can happily run for hours on very little gas, and getting going from a stop is a breeze thanks to the engine’s strong low-end torque and the V-Matic automatic transmission that means no shifting, ever. A low seat height and low overall centre of gravity makes the Ruckus easy to handle in the city. And when you want to explore some out-of-the-way places, you’ll love the oversize deep-tread tires that grip hard on gravel as well as on pavement. In provinces that allow 14-year-olds to operate scooters, the Ruckus is the perfect way to get a safe start in the sport – its intuitive operation and low maintenance let you hone your skills and build your confidence at your own speed. And experienced scooter riders will love the Ruckus for the same reasons.

There's nothing like it.

One thing is sure about the Ruckus: wherever it goes, it causes a scene. That’s because the design is so unique, with wide tires, a bare-bones frame and double headlamps. Underneath it all lies a thrifty 49cc engine that gets you wherever you need to go, without guzzling gas. A V-matic® automatic transmission offers seamless power in and out of traffic. And an electric starter gives you faster get-up-and-go. Add in our legendary reliability, and the Honda Ruckus is as dependable as it is fun.

Stripped-down.

You can't judge a Ruckus by its cover. That's because it doesn't have one. Instead, we gave the Ruckus a minimalist design for that urban-warrior look.

Packs a punch.

Thanks to a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 49cc engine, the Ruckus gives you all the power you need for local trips or city riding.

Get around on a little gas.

We're not kidding. With the Ruckus, you'll spend less time filling up and more riding around town.

2010 Aprilia Sportcity One 50 Street

AGILE, COMFORTABLE, LIVELY, AND CAREFREE: ONE 50 is THE “YOUNGEST” SPORTCITY. A SCOOTER WITH A FRESH AND SPORTY LOOK AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY. “MEDIUM-SIZED” WHEELS AND A MODERN DESIGN, A DEBUT FOR THE NEW PLUCKY LIGHTWEIGHT ENGINE.

APRILIA SPORTCITY ONE 2T

The “coolest” side of the Aprilia Sportcity is called: Sportcity One 50. After its debut this summer, the Sportcity family is ready to welcome a new member into the fold. The youngest and liveliest, thanks to the 2-stroke engine with a power/weight ratio second to none.

The Sportcity One 2t enriches the existing offer, with yet another alternative in the vast Sportcity range. It shares the same unique design as the others, both elegant and sporty, and is sold at an extremely competitive price considering the performance and equipment.

Like all the other Sportcity models, the 2-stroke One is a perfect combination of dynamic and practical qualities, a deliberate choice in construction design in which Aprilia paved the way to be followed by thousands of scooter riders all over Europe.

Compact size, comfort and practicality have always been winning features of the Sportcity range. On the Sportcity One, they are taken to the logical next step. Compact and agile, the Sportcity One is the perfect antidote to traffic despite its spaciousness and comfort.

Its generous, anatomically shaped seat offers plenty of room for rider and passenger.

Its flat platform also provides ample space for bulky objects.

The passenger grab handle is ergonomically shaped. And the complete but rational instruments deliver all the information you could possibly need, in a clear and intuitive manner.

Sportcity One is a scooter that stands out from the crowd thanks to its essential nature: the perfect vehicle to get you through traffic, with excellent comfort and top-level equipment. In fact, thanks to the rational design and meticulous attention to detail in optimizing spaces, Sportcity One 2T offers all the advantages of a modern high-wheel scooter, and more. The seat height, at just 775 millimetres off the ground, makes it the ideal means of transport for female riders too.

The flat platform, the protective shield, and in particular the under-seat storage compartment spacious enough to take a full-face Aprilia helmet, make the Sportcity One 50 2T the point of reference for this price/equipment segment

CHASSIS

Designed for maximum rationality, the Sportcity One’s frame is a classical open cradle frame in high strength steel tube. Despite the scooter’s flat platform, its frame delivers excellent rigidity for a great feeling on the road and provides the highest level of safety.

With 32 mm stanchions and a wheel travel of 85 mm, the hydraulic fork effectively smoothes out even the roughest road surfaces.

As with all scooters of the type, the engine-transmission assembly acts as swingarm and is damped by an adjustable shock absorber. The 76 mm wheel travel makes easy work of any road surface, providing a level of comfort normally only found on larger models, also due to the large tyres.

Thanks to this particular chassis configuration, the Sportcity One is the perfectly combination of spacious comfort and unique handling. Aprilia was the first to believe in the possibility of using a “medium-size” wheel with wide section tyres to obtain a level of comfort and safety which stands way above the rest.

Sportcity One 50 2T follows the road taken by its predecessors. The 14-inch wheels with large tubeless tyres (120/70 both front and rear), with the rigid frame – guarantee handling that is second to none, with excellent comfort, along with easy and intuitive road holding, making One a scooter anyone can handle.

A powerful 220 mm front disc (a record diameter for its category) with a two-piston floating caliper, plus a 140 mm rear drum mean instant stopping.

ENGINE

The Sportcity One 2T is a real all-round urban vehicle. A lively 2-stroke engine – producing 4.08 HP – makes the One 50 2T the lightest and most agile scooter in the Sportcity range, also thanks to the “sprinter” configuration of the engine and the optimal automatic transmission ratios.

The Sportcity One 50 2T offers excellent acceleration, letting you reach the maximum speed allowed by law very quickly. The Kick starter is fitted as standard on the Sportcity One 2T, so you’ll always be able to start the scooter even with a flat battery. Responsive, agile and lively acceleration, these are the principal qualities of the Sportcity One 2T, to get you through the traffic in the greatest safety.

The Sportcity One 2T is brilliant and cheap to own and use.

The scooter is anything but costly, with excellent fuel economy and enviable autonomy. This 50cc scooter is perfect for young people who want to stand out from the crowd, and get about town in a carefree way, with the rest of the great Sportcity family.

The “coolest” side of the Aprilia Sportcity is called: Sportcity One 50. After its debut this summer, the Sportcity family is ready to welcome a new member into the fold. The youngest and liveliest, thanks to the 2-stroke engine with a power/weight ratio second to none.

The Sportcity One 2t enriches the existing offer, with yet another alternative in the vast Sportcity range. It shares the same unique design as the others, both elegant and sporty, and is sold at an extremely competitive price considering the performance and equipment.

Like all the other Sportcity models, the 2-stroke One is a perfect combination of dynamic and practical qualities, a deliberate choice in construction design in which Aprilia paved the way to be followed by thousands of scooter riders all over Europe.

Compact size, comfort and practicality have always been winning features of the Sportcity range. On the Sportcity One, they are taken to the logical next step. Compact and agile, the Sportcity One is the perfect antidote to traffic despite its spaciousness and comfort.

Its generous, anatomically shaped seat offers plenty of room for rider and passenger.

Its flat platform also provides ample space for bulky objects.

The passenger grab handle is ergonomically shaped. And the complete but rational instruments deliver all the information you could possibly need, in a clear and intuitive manner.

Sportcity One is a scooter that stands out from the crowd thanks to its essential nature: the perfect vehicle to get you through traffic, with excellent comfort and top-level equipment. In fact, thanks to the rational design and meticulous attention to detail in optimizing spaces, Sportcity One 2T offers all the advantages of a modern high-wheel scooter, and more. The seat height, at just 775 millimetres off the ground, makes it the ideal means of transport for female riders too.

The flat platform, the protective shield, and in particular the under-seat storage compartment spacious enough to take a full-face Aprilia helmet, make the Sportcity One 50 2T the point of reference for this price/equipment segment

CHASSIS

Designed for maximum rationality, the Sportcity One’s frame is a classical open cradle frame in high strength steel tube. Despite the scooter’s flat platform, its frame delivers excellent rigidity for a great feeling on the road and provides the highest level of safety.

With 32 mm stanchions and a wheel travel of 85 mm, the hydraulic fork effectively smoothes out even the roughest road surfaces.

As with all scooters of the type, the engine-transmission assembly acts as swingarm and is damped by an adjustable shock absorber. The 76 mm wheel travel makes easy work of any road surface, providing a level of comfort normally only found on larger models, also due to the large tyres.

Thanks to this particular chassis configuration, the Sportcity One is the perfectly combination of spacious comfort and unique handling. Aprilia was the first to believe in the possibility of using a “medium-size” wheel with wide section tyres to obtain a level of comfort and safety which stands way above the rest.

Sportcity One 50 2T follows the road taken by its predecessors. The 14-inch wheels with large tubeless tyres (120/70 both front and rear), with the rigid frame – guarantee handling that is second to none, with excellent comfort, along with easy and intuitive road holding, making One a scooter anyone can handle.

A powerful 220 mm front disc (a record diameter for its category) with a two-piston floating caliper, plus a 140 mm rear drum mean instant stopping.

ENGINE

The Sportcity One 2T is a real all-round urban vehicle. A lively 2-stroke engine – producing 4.08 HP – makes the One 50 2T the lightest and most agile scooter in the Sportcity range, also thanks to the “sprinter” configuration of the engine and the optimal automatic transmission ratios.

The Sportcity One 50 2T offers excellent acceleration, letting you reach the maximum speed allowed by law very quickly. The Kick starter is fitted as standard on the Sportcity One 2T, so you’ll always be able to start the scooter even with a flat battery. Responsive, agile and lively acceleration, these are the principal qualities of the Sportcity One 2T, to get you through the traffic in the greatest safety.

The Sportcity One 2T is brilliant and cheap to own and use.

The scooter is anything but costly, with excellent fuel economy and enviable autonomy. This 50cc scooter is perfect for young people who want to stand out from the crowd, and get about town in a carefree way, with the rest of the great Sportcity family.

2011 Aprilia Scarabeo 200

The result of brilliant intuition by Aprilia, Scarabeo has withstood the test of time by adapting to change and incorporating the latest technology. Over the years Scarabeo has grown in engine size, with new models introduced to satisfy diverging needs. Deep down, however, Scarabeo remains faithful to the original concept behind its amazing success. In brief, Scarabeo remains a trend-setter. Over 750,000 Scarabeo have been sold since 1993, to tame inner city traffic, dominate urban ring roads and carry their riders with natural elegance and unmistakable style.

“Scarabeo offers the intelligent and cultured scooter rider a new class of urban scooter, combining today’s state-of-the-art technology with a design capable of defying the passage of time.”
(From the Scarabeo launch at the Milan Exhibition in 1993)

Scarabeo’s harmonious shape, simple flowing lines, and reassuringly smooth surfaces are so unmistakable that there is almost no need to apply the Aprilia name to it. Scarabeo’s superior finish, and the refinement of every last detail are instantly recognisable at first glance or feel. A Scarabeo is simply a Scarabeo, unique and unmistakable. Distinctive elegance, impressive comfort, plus advanced performance and safety give Scarabeo across-the-board appeal. Scarabeo is loved by teenagers, lady riders, students and managers – in fact anybody who wants a scooter of distinction and class. Scarabeo is all this and more. It sets trends, not follows them. Like all true classics, Scarabeo is an object of cult design, and has evolved without losing its identity. Scarabeo is the unquestioned symbol of elegance on two wheels. One glance is all you need to recognize Scarabeo anywhere. And you only need to ride it once to appreciate its dynamic Aprilia-style handling. Over the years Scarabeo has developed a chameleon-like ability to change its skin, and to evolve along with the changing needs of the market. The emphasis today is on practical mobility: riders want scooters that are small outside but big inside, able to nip through congested city centres. That is why the smallest over-50 cc Scarabeo has evolved once more, becoming more compact but without losing any of its unique identity. The new 200 has returned to the design roots of Scarabeo, combining elegance with utility and shunning the superfluous. The new Scarabeo 200 satisfies all the needs of modern mobility, and adds a generous touch of class and style to the practicality and performance that has always set Scarabeo apart. Typical Italian style once again points the way for others to follow: Scarabeo’s refined build quality simply defies imitation by other scooters. Advanced technology renders Scarabeo unique too. A generous under-seat storage compartment, large enough to hold an Aprilia jet helmet, leaves the competition struggling. The 200 might be the entry level model to the over-50 cc Scarabeo range, but its deluxe finish and amazing quality to price ratio make it more than unique.

“Conceived to defy the pressures of the market, designed with a rigorous attention to detail, destined for a public with the ability to choose for themselves, and characterized by a design that is ‘different’ by definition, Scarabeo is a new starting point for the motorcycle industry, the first in a series of machines made to appeal not only today but tomorrow and in the long term too.”

2011 Aprilia Scarabeo 200 Features

STYLE
The inspiration remains the same. Giuseppe Ricciuti, the father of Scarabeo, is the man behind this latest model too. The new 200 conserves all the usual classic and modern style emblems, decisive features and smooth lines in an instantly harmonious continuity. Once again Scarabeo has redefined urban scooter design. Yet in a world of throw-away fashions, Scarabeo’s reassuring lines are a welcome constant. With one-in-a-million looks, Scarabeo lets you live the city in true elegance. The 200 lives up to its reputation of authentic trend setter. The 200 embodies pure Scarabeo style, free from excess and with nothing out of place. Only Scarabeo could achieve such perfection. Small enough to nip through the most chaotic traffic, Scarabeo also offers advanced ergonomics and unrivalled functionality to ensure that you always ride in comfort and style.

THE DETAILS THAT COUNT
A flat platform provides greater space for load carrying. A windshield fixed to the steering head deviates air flow over the rider, guaranteeing turbulence-free travel even at high speed. Generous analog-digital instrumentation includes an on-board computer with handlebar controls: the system’s many functions include outside air temperature display with ice warning. Even the centre stand has been carefully designed to afford the best possible leverage, so that lifting your Scarabeo on to it stand is a piece of cake. The aluminium luggage rack provides the perfect surface for fitting a top box. And the intelligent use of chrome, plus direction indicators integrated in the handlebars, and many other clever details, make Scarabeo totally unique.

ENGINE
As with everything else on the Scarabeo 200, the engine is brand new, and designed by Aprilia specially for Scarabeo. These advanced, lightweight, rational and clean running engines combine excellent performance with miserly consumption, are almost vibration-free in use and boast ultra-low emissions, in keeping with Scarabeo’s environmentally friendly philosophy. This single cylinder four stroke engine delivers fun, safety and comfort. It is liquid cooled with four valve, double overhead cam cylinder heads, used for the first time on an Aprilia scooter of this size. By optimizing valve timing, this technical solution, typical of high performance engines, succeeds in combining high power with low emissions. No wonder the Scarabeo 200 boasts the highest performance of any scooter of its class. The 200 version delivers an impressive 14 kW (19 HP) at 8250 rpm, with generous torque (17 Nm at 7500 rpm), for sporty yet relaxing acceleration and excellent active security under all riding conditions. In keeping with the original design concept, the engine is fuelled by a modern Keihin carburettor for simple, trouble-free use. A catalytic converter is fitted to ensure cleaner exhaust emissions and bring Scarabeo 200 within the limits of EURO 3 legislation. Particularly low fuel consumption plus a generous 8 litre fuel tank, combine to give more than enough autonomy for a week’s urban commuting.

CHASSIS
Scarabeo’s classical yet trend-setting good looks have never prevented use of the latest chassis technology. In fact, conservation of many of the far-sighted stylistic and technical design solutions incorporated into the range since 1993 has provided an excellent base for the development of this latest model. The new 200 is designed to maintain all the unique features that make Scarabeo an icon of our times, without losing sight of the easy riding and advanced performance and safety that characterise all Aprilia products. These defining values are engineered into the very DNA of the new Scarabeo, making it agile, safe in all situations, and more than able to deliver thrilling motorcycle style handling where road conditions permit. Merit for these impressive results is due mainly to the exceptional rigidity and robustness of the new high strength steel frame, and to the perfect setup of the suspension, which is tuned to deliver maximum feel and a super-smooth ride. The front fork is a 35 mm hydraulic unit. At the rear, the engine and transmission assembly acts as swingarm, with the assistance of an aluminium reaction arm. Simple, lightweight, yet effective, this solution incorporates shock absorbers that let you adjust preload to four different settings to cater for all possible loads and riding styles. The refined wheels are fitted with 16” high-wall tubeless tyres (100/80 at the front, 120/80 at the rear). This combination is not only perfect for negotiating the hazards of city roads but also makes the new Scarabeo amazingly stable and intuitive to ride for expert and novice riders alike. Scarabeo has never skimped on brakes, and the new 200 is no exception. The front wheel features a 260 mm disc and a floating caliper with three parallel pistons, while the rear wheel is equipped with a 220 mm disc and two piston caliper. The front and rear wheels are linked by a new integral braking system that distributes braking force between the two wheels and guarantees ultra-short stopping distances in complete safety.

2012 Aprilia SR Motard 125 Review

All the grit of Aprilia Motard on an every day scooter.

Aprilia SR Motard is the scooter that brings fun and sportiness into your daily commute.

Aprilia SR Motard is characterised by an aggressive, essential and compact style. Standing start acceleration, acceleration, pickup, agility in traffic and braking are the "weapons" of the Aprilia SR Motard, designed for the young rider, to come in first in the every day competition on the city streets.


2012 Aprilia SR Motard 125 Model Highlights

Design: the Motard spirit in a sport scooter

The "fun" spirit of the Aprilia sport bike is without a doubt the spirit tied to the world of Supermotard bikes. Born as a street version of off-road bikes, Supermotards combined the enduro bikes' ease of riding with set-ups and performance for the asphalt. The new SR Motard brings the spirit of great Aprilia Supermotards such as Dorsoduro and SXV into the SR sport scooter family.

The design reflects the character of Aprilia SR Motard which, derived from the solid technical base of best seller, Typhoon, evolves toward a brilliant and fun ride. The decidedly sporty handlebar, the light unit included in the shield and above all the pronounced "beak" on the front wheel (reminiscent of the off-road world) characterise the front end. The flat footrest, in addition to ensuring convenient seating and riding comfort, improves the load capacity, thanks to the hook in the leg shield back plate. The large black 14" wheels with five doubled spokes show of a decisive and sporty design drawn from the Aprilia racing bikes. Sleek and spirited, the SR Motard rear end holds a large and comfortable saddle that bears the coloured graphics of the body on the sides, a refinement which enhances the liveliness of a vehicle born to make every city ride fun. The large helmet compartment can hold a flip up helmet Aprilia SR Motard is available in three colours: Black, White and Orange matte copper.

Technology: brilliant performance and easy to ride

With a choice of two modern, clean and eager engines, the SR Motard offers different solutions for exhilarating fun even when carving through the daily urban jungle. With an ideal torque curve, the 125 4-stroke version of the Aprilia SR Motard, dedicated to the over-16 rider, can even take medium range trips safely in its stride.

The frame in steel tubing holds a sturdy upside down telescopic fork while the rear operates a dual action single hydraulic shock absorber linked to the transmission unit that works as a swingarm. The large 14" wheels are shod with sport street tyres. Braking safety is guaranteed by the 220 mm front disc backed up by the powerful 140 mm modulable rear drum.

2012 Aprilia SRV 850 Review

Aprilia SRV 850 redefines the edge of the scooter world limits.

Power, set-up, sporty spirit, design: everything about the SRV 850 recalls the technical, performance and aesthetic standards of Aprilia superbike.

The style is clearly reminiscent of the Aprilia superbike world. No fan will have trouble recognising the aesthetics the stylistic standards in the new SRV 850 which, together with the performance, contributed to confirming Aprilia motorcycles as the point of reference in the world of competitive motorcycles.

Aprilia SRV 850 takes its origins based on the GP 800, the maxi two cylinder launched by Piaggio Group in 2007 which established itself as the most powerful scooter in the world. The Aprilia engineers enhanced that revolutionary project, transferring to the SRV 850 the know-how which stems from decades of victories on tracks all over the world and which Aprilia has always transferred to its most sporty bikes such as the Aprilia RSV4, the SBK 2010 world champion, and the muscular motard Dorsoduro 1200.

Evolved in engine performance, revisited in weight, riding set-up and aesthetics, SRV 850 brings to the scooter world the philosophy of performance without compromise which is written into the Aprilia DNA.

2012 Aprilia SRV 850 Model Highlights

NOT ONLY POWER: A UNIQUE ENGINE

The Aprilia SRV 850 engine is the first and only 90° V two cylinder scooter engine and it makes the maxi from Veneto the fastest and most powerful scooter ever manufactured anywhere in the world.

Liquid cooled, equipped with electronic injection, with distribution of 4 valves per cylinder and twin-spark ignition, the engine has a displacement of 839.3 cc. Thanks to a new optimisation of the engine control system, it now reaches a maximum power of 55.9 kW (76.0 HP) at 7,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 76.5 Nm (7.8 kgm) at 6,000 rpm, specs which place the new SRV 850 at the top of its category. Two new oxygen probes (lambda) allow the engine control unit to optimise management of the fuel-oil mixture for the two cylinders, all to the advantage of combustion, obtaining a regularity of operation at idle speed and a progressiveness and torque flexibility at medium rpms which are a reference point for this type of engine architecture.

The new system guarantees maximum efficiency in terms of fuel economy and emissions control so much that they already meet the future (stricter) requirements of Euro 4 approval.

But it is not just power that the designers had in mind when they conceived this extraordinary engine: crankshaft and transmission group were designed with a rotational motion opposite that of the wheels in order to have a significant reduction of rotating inertia and the gyroscopic effect: by doing this the handling and quick entrance into turns of the Aprilia SRV 850 is increased.

On Aprilia SRV 850 the engine is secured in a completely integrated way to the frame thanks to an elastic mounting to contain vibrations and the final drive is entrusted to a robust, but sophisticated, Regina Z-ring sealed chain.

The exhaust system, completely free of the frame in order to keep vibrations to a minimum, is a 2-in-1 system which terminates in an aggressively styled silencer with heat shield.

THE STYLE OF THE APRILIA MAXI

SRV 850 brings the style of the Aprilia maxi bikes to the scooter world.

If the eyes are the mirrors of the soul, the front end of the SRV 850 leaves no doubts as to the nature of the first Aprilia two cylinder scooter: the style which made the RSV4 popular, the SBK 2010 SBK World Champion bike, is offered here in its entirety. The triple headlight, the dynamic air intakes under the headlight assembly, the racing fairing designed in the wind tunnel, are all elements which the SRV 850 has in common with the bike that revolutionised the supersport world. The colours of the livery recall the colour range of its "sister", the RSV4, including the two-tone Black-Red which characterises the Factory version of the Superbike from Veneto, the one that Max Biaggi rides in world championship races.

Even the front mudguard and the mirrors, which house the built in turn indicators, are faithful to the Aprilia racing style, as is the design of the half-handlebars: the two arms are made of aluminium and the new hand grips emphasise its sporty nature. The new instrument panel, in perfect Aprilia Racing style, is at the same level as the best supersport bikes. A large, central LCD is combined with the large analogue instruments (speedometer and rpm indicator), a true on board computer with a vast number of functions (including: double trip odometer, total odometer, service LED, radiator temperature) selectable with a "mode" button located on the handlebar.

The large saddle, made in Hi-Tech material, is in line with the sport design but offers great comfort for rider and passenger. The sleek and slender rear end of the SRV 850 ends with a spectacular LED technology light assembly which the new maxi two cylinder from Aprilia shares with the Dorsoduro 1200, another "extreme", bike, standard bearer of the Aprilia maxi bike muscular sportiness: a family of vehicles which the SRV 850 is a full member of, bringing unique sport characteristics to the scooter world without compromises, not even in style.

FRAME AND CHASSIS

The generous power of the Aprilia two cylinder's engine demands a superbly rigid chassis. The double cradle frame of the Aprilia SRV 850 is made of steel trellis pipes with reinforcing and rigidity plates.

Simulations and road tests have demonstrated that the SRV 850 has a coefficient of stability at full power similar to a motorcycle (1 rad/sec) and almost twice as high as a conventional scooter. The high level of rigidity translates into an extraordinary sensation of riding control which also stems from the 5 kg lightening realised on the RSV 850. The new sport maxi scooter from Aprilia leans into bends like a sport bike, reaching angles of 45°, always holding a neutral behaviour and extraordinary road holding.

Even analising the suspension department it is easy to see how much Aprilia motorcycling know-how was passed on to the new SRV 850. At the rear there is a swingarm made of cast aluminium and secured directly to the side plates of the frame. It is clamped by suspension linkages that are dominated by a horizontally mounted, lateral hydraulic monoshock absorber, adjustable to seven different preload settings.

Compared to the GP 800 the fork made in aluminium with large 41 mm stanchions - adopts a more sustained calibration resulting in significant improvement of dynamic control of the vehicle, improving braking and leaning stability.

The wheel rims, 16" at the front and 15" on the rear are manufactured in aluminium to minimise unsuspended mass and guarantee riding precision. Overall performance is also helped by standard equipment radial tyres, 120/70 at the front and 160/60 on the driving wheel.

The braking system at the front uses Brembo Gold Series double piston floating callipers and two 300mm semi-floating steel discs.

On the rear the floating calliper with two opposing pistons acts on a 280 mm steel disc. The piping covered in metallic trellis and the levers which can be adjusted to 4 positions, are further testimony to the attention placed on realisation of the braking system. The Aprilia SRV 850 is even equipped with a parking brake operated by a practical lever on the right of the leg shield.

Accident Lawyers Information Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer www.florida-lawyer.com Call or contact: 888 446 1999. Need a Florida Motorcycle Accident Lawyer and looking for an ethical, experienced and aggressive lawyer to figure out if you may be entitled to money compensation for your serious injury? In Florida, motorcycle accidents happen mostly because automobile drivers do not share the road. I frequently represent seriously injured motorcycle riders because a car fails to see the motorcycle and then the car pulls out into the intersection. Another common reason is that the car driver changes lanes without looking. The most frequent injuries are fractures of shoulder or wrists from going over the handlebars, or femur (long bone of the leg) fractures from laying the bike down or a side impact. Unfortunately, even at slower speeds and with a helmet, I have represented the family of fathers and sons who have died in motorcycle crashes. As a Florida Motorcycle accident lawyer, I understand that you may want to express you individuality and freedom on the road by making the decision as an adult not to wear a helmet. The insurance company in a brain injury case will argue that you are the cause of your own injury being worse because if you were wearing a helmet the injury would not have been so bad. I retain experts in biomechanics, who are engineers and if the evidence is available and in your favor, they can calculate the force of the impact and tell the insurance company that they are wrong. That wearing a helmet would not have made a difference. A helmet sometimes can actually make the injury worse. I am not advocating that you should not wear a helmet , it's just that wearing one does not always make a difference. It depends on the accident circumstances. Each Florida Motorcycle Accident claim will get my personal attention to detail and my 30 years of experience. If you would like to consult for free with a Florida civil trial lawyer who is board certified as an expert in civil trial then please call 888-446-1999 There will be no charge for lawyer fees of representation or costs of representation if there is not money compensation recovery.
