History of the Aprilia SRV 850
The SRV 850 was shown at the EICMA fair in Milan in November 2011. It replaced the Gilera GP800, a nearly identical model offered until 2012, and German Wikipedia says it was regarded at launch as the fastest production scooter.
Its liquid-cooled 90-degree V-twin makes 56 kW (76 hp) and is the same engine as in the sister model Aprilia Mana 850. Power goes to the rear wheel through a CVT and a chain. The wheels are relatively large for a scooter, 16 inches at the front and 15 inches at the rear.
From 2013 the scooter had a two-channel anti-lock brake system from Continental and traction control as standard. The SRV 850 left production in 2016.
