Seen one on kijiji. type of bike you're wrenching on more then riding on..Ape sxv 550? Someone on here was bringing one back to life a couple years ago. I don't think the engines are known for staying together, but damn they look fun when they're working.

Even the most powerful supermotos in the world can't keep up with a 600 supersport at highway speeds. I think your first step is to realize that it's not going to be about outright speed. It's more about the quality of the interactive experience..
This is a beautiful machine. I had the pleasure of riding one of these in Europe. What a beast!
I inspired myself with that post and bought a fresh and super clean 2011 990SMR that I brought home on Friday. Now I've got all winter to tinker. It's got an amazing chassis and seating position is as comfy as an adventure bike.
I have been looking for one. I almost bought a 2006 this summer (950) but I'd really like to get the newer 990 although I have heard about the fuel injected jerkiness.
