Aprilia SXV 550 (2007 onwards)
If you are looking for a lightweight supermoto bike that is capable of track racing, the Aprilia SXV 550 might be a good choice for you. It is a powerful motorcycle that offers crazy performance and, on top of that, it looks really good. Unfortunately, it has a small tank and its seat is uncomfortable even on short rides.
The Aprilia SXV 550 is one of those motorcycles that are A2 legal with a restrictor kit installed. However, it is not recommended to ride the bike with your A2 licence. Because of its lower weight and high power output, you will have to restrict the bike way below the 35kW limit. This will reduce its horsepower significantly and make it nearly useless considering its main purpose – fun.
A2 Licence Compliance
The Aprilia SXV 550 is a 549cc A2-friendly supermoto bike. It has a power output of 53 kW (70 bhp), which exceeds the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. The bike has to be restricted by at least 33.9% to become A2 licence compliant. (source: Aprilia SXV 550 specifications)
