Driving report Aprilia RSX 550 supersport self-'s building
The supersport scene of the small Strolchen said good-bye quietly and secretly. Still before ten years the 250er-/400er-Amateur-Rennklassen from all seams burst, but the manufacturers pressed on the tube and pressed beside the high-stung 1000ern only the suendteuren 600er on the market. Who would like to drive supersportsmen, must look the granny deeply into the eyes and reach this still more deeply into its saving trunk - under 10000 euro goes nix. The question arises: Didn't we have scarcely 70 HP fun with the small racers and their? But. And how! Outside around at the GSX r Kraftprotz, with rains equal the whole field vorbeigesegelt up-mixed and in the sophistiated Infield of Hockenheim with the 70-PS-Renn-floh of everything brushed, which stood in the way. An animal fun for small money. Therefore the call straight came quite. Tommy Bavarian, Pressesprecher with Aprilia Germany and admitting R-S 250-Fan, did not bear it. "request beautifully, build for me up to the next spring an feather-easy 70-PS-Rennerle with 130 Kilos." Said, done. Whereby the original thought to set lower and pack into a running lining a 550er-Aprilia Supermoto only by a shortening of the spring travels, after which first stocktaking was rejected. Why? Because with it too many technical compromises the handling lastingly bad can. Briefly before Christmas the SXV 550 Supermoto was located in the workshop, two days later was abgeflext the standard front framework network and to the Torso ready, in order to mutate by means of a again designed lattice tubing framework for the Stra ssenrenner. A simple, but framework network from 30-Millimeter-Praezisionsstahlrohr, resistant to bending by stable triangle federations, takes over the connection between the stuck together, standard aluminum cast parts and the new, approximately 100 millimeters below set control actuator. Compared with a voluminoesen aluminum framework the airy lattice tubing chassis leaves to sufficient place, in order to accommodate the necessary electrical connection construction units compactly and nevertheless well accessible. • the machine • the heart of the Aprilia RSX 550 The lightweight construction makes already while stationary fun - it to regard. The remaining elements should from Design and cost reasons, if at all possible, are re-used. Therefore the picture-beautiful aluminum rocker remained, just as the shock strut, only with to harder 140 a kg/cm feather/spring and an adapted absorption on 120 millimeters spring travel trimmed. In front nothing was to be made with the long CROSS fork, why a used leads and the weight adapted Showa fork of the Aprilia RSV 1000 the 3,50-Zoll-Drahtspeichenrad. One brakes at the front wheel with the 320er-Bremsscheibe from the Supermoto, which are sufficient owing to the small weight and maximally 220 km/h Topspeed of the RSX 550 completely. Every other construction unit, no matter whether slots, tank, schaltgestaenge, fussrasten or exhaust manifold, had in precise manual work are again made and adapted. And the framework tail with muffler lowered, which is transformed GRP parts of the Aprilia R-S 125 and in the long run the engine oil of the dry sump lubrication in a new oil tank are loaded hoppers. For first it should remain with a study without road permission. With do-VG-RIGHT standard pinpointed again eight kilograms might to it-add themselves over the thumbs. Makes a drivingfinished sport motorcycle with 142 kilograms, which, in quantity production presented, would have to be for clear to have under 9000 euro. After well 220 work hours the freshly painted prototype rolls to first roll out at the bathing air park on the Handlingstrecke. Like always during young remote travels all possible and impossible scenarios shoot by the head: Whether the welding seam holds at the guidance head? Are the framework cross girders actually as stable as planned? Or does the engine plumpst with the first Wheelie from the chassis? Ready for the jump - with much number of revolutions some is from the engine rauszuholen. One has it hardly still on the film, as fetzig easy such a small Strolch around hit a corner yourself bend lets. Curve focus, um legen, and schwupp, the 134-Kilo-Renner follows as pulled on the cord the bare thought. Because with 71 HP naturally brachiale acceleration does not adjust itself, the quick line is in demand with the ride with the RSX 550. With much momentum bend, by violent inclination no time give away and with still more momentum on the last centimeter bitumen along-balance. Thus the gas hand delicate by GSX r 1000 and consorts needs a few rounds, until one dares, to already place and fly to generous elbows by the labyrinth before the curve vertex the cock on notice. Which is the more important however, since it requires something fine tuning at the Mapping of injection with the lightning-like winding up and with changes of load rather ruppig acting Aprilia v Zweizylinder still. But the engine packs already from middle numbers of revolutions strongly to and snaps impetuously into the speed limiter, which blocks revolution with 11500. Under schaurig beautiful Zweizylinderballern from the short exhaust stubs the six drill steps are through-tapped in wind hurry - and the fun takes its run."

Ett one-off-bygge således. En prototyp. Jag tror tyvärr inte att vi kommer få se någon i serieproduktion; marknaden för en 550 cc sporthoj är troligen och tyvärr försvinnande liten.
