At the EICMA 2011 in Milan from November 8-13, Aprilia will be unveiling its latest scooter – the SRV 850 maxi scooter.
This one’s shaping as a real urban – and country – cowboy, with Aprilia claiming a category-topping 75hp (56kW) of power at 7750rpm and 76.5Nm of torque at 6000rpm from the 850cc 90-degree V-twin with electronic fuel injection.
Previously, the Gilera GP 800 – also a part of the huge Piaggio Group – was boss cocky in the numbers’ game.
Here’s what the PR blurb says about the SRV850: “… it redefines the limits of the scooter world: power, balance, a sports spirit and design, all wrapped up in this new scooter, reminiscent of the technical, performance and aesthetic standards of Aprilia's superbikes.”
No word on whether the local Aprilia importer, John Sample Automotive, may be tempted to bring this one Down Under.
