After 3 years on my DRZ400SM I'm still not bored?

Your dead right. To be a little more precise Aprilia NEVER designed the xv range for anything but racing, they were never intended to be a commuter so why even look at them for such a role, that is much like saying you would race a goldwing in the litre class sports bikes. If your into a motard style bike for a commute stick to a DR or even a xt660x but DONT even think about a SXV, that is a big part of the reason the xv got such a bad wrap about reliability; guys buying them and having no idea how to treat a race bike, no oil changes, no warm up, gear box oil, shit is that seperate to the engine oil, the list goes on.
The xv range generally use about 100ml oil every 120km of hard riding, they are ment to! to top them off ank way you go.
Dick heads would use them like a lwan mower, use it till it dies then moan like spoilt brats.
SXV's and RXV's are not commuters.

Get a DR400sm and be bored real quick. LOL

I had no problem with the DRZ until 150kph. Really needed the front guard cut off it too - that shock like a mother after about 140.

I have always dreamed of a 690 duke with a turbo though. Something that would do 200 klicks.
