Photo Gallery: The 2008 Aprilia RXV 5.5

The supermoto stablemate to the Aprilia RXV 5.5 recently made headlines by winning its class (and recording the best time of any motorcycle) at the Pike's Peak hill climb, so I was glad I had the opportunity to sample the RXV after posting news that the torquey, 549cc enduro bike became street legal for 2008.

The RXV turned out to be quite a handful in the dirt (and even more of a handful on public roads), but I'll save the stories for later and stick to photos of this 262 lb. beast in action. So enjoy shots of the RXV at the deft hands of my buddy Jeff, and stay tuned for a review of this street legal offroad enduro.
