I wonder if it's a derivative of the V-Rod motor which is also water cooled?? Either way...front end looks kind of outta place. I wonder if you can use the XB12r front end?? At least they have more powahh!!

Didn't Aprilia used to work with Rotax for the motors in their bikes?

If 375 lbs and 140+ crank horsepower equals slow to someone, then they probably need to turn from time to time. This thing should be a lot of fun.

Amen... they obviously haven't figured out that corner speed is directly related to skill and not 160rwhp.

The V-rod mill was engineered by Porsche... not Rotax.

And who says you have to fit in with a certain crowd to ride???

Yeah rotax does build motors for aprilia. Those were 60 degree veeeetwins though.


I know that porsche helped with the design on the vrod. But i'm wondering if the rotax motor is based off the porsche designed vrod motor.
