ROAD NEWS
240hp at 13,750rpm and 131Nm at 11,750rpm via special throttle bodies and inlet trumpets and a full SC Project exhaust and transfers the grunt via a dry clutch – so, all the goodies. Bodywork, as expected, is beautiful carbon fibre by Pan Compositi, very nice indeed. Done just like Bez and Jorge’ s bikes. That aero package gives the X 250TH three times the downforce of the stunning RSV4 at maximum lean and five times the force at top speeds on the straights. So while that eye-watering price may make your credit card cringe, it is a motorcycle capable of being on the front row straight from the crate. With only 30 being produced and 25 dedicated to the US market, hence the pretty loud colour scheme, it is unlikely we will see any here and our rules would also exclude it, it is still a very desirable piece of Italian art that many would like to use for the odd track day. Hey Mr Aprilia, what about a black one with a silver fern next year …?
