Aprilia SRV 850 ABS / ATC driving report

He wants to be boss in the ring of scooters, the Aprilia SRV 850. With 76 HP it is definitely the most powerful at the moment, and with ABS and traction control it is now also electronically up to date. And otherwise?

Otherwise it is S.RV 850 is not completely new: it is basically a modern and aggressively styled Gilera GP 800, which saw the light of day in the scooter world in 2007. But the SRV 850, with an unchanged 839 cm3 and 76 hp, is still the most powerful and powerful as well as the fastest production scooter on this planet. It goes from 0 to 100 km / h in a fairly fixed 5.9 seconds, full pipe means a maximum of 193 km / h. These are the values ​​that the new BMW scooters are struggling with, others anyway. Despite the superlatives, the great sales success of the Gilera scooter has not yet materialized, obviously the combination of sporty attitude, good design and economical equipment was not what the scooter world had been waiting for. The SRV should now fix it. Visually, it is strongly based on the current Superbike World Champion motorcycle, the RSV 4 from Max Biaggi. Although the SRV no longer has an electrically adjustable windshield, there is finally a well-functioning ABS on board. And not only that: As it should be for a top performer nowadays, the power output is preceded by a traction control that can even be switched off here. Not that this is absolutely necessary with the specified 76 hp: On dry asphalt, the Pirelli Diablo Strada have the power eruptions of the V2 under control. But it looks different on slippery surfaces such as wet asphalt. On gravel roads, the SRV simply digs itself in without traction control or throws pebbles around itself, but with it it sets itself in motion in a vigorous manner, but quickly. In order to use the sport mode (in which the traction control allows more slip on the rear wheel), a driving talent à la Biaggi is certainly helpful.
