Dunno about the RVX 450's, but the SVX 550's are about the 18k mark. Bear in mind that includes all your road equipment (lights, mirrors, etc), not just the upsized motor.
Have heard that the RVX's are a handful, the 550 especially is supposedly a bit too much - traction is nonexistant as soon as you event think of twisting the throttle. However, the SVX 550 . . . *whistles thru teeth* . . . I'd love one of them. The range is only 100k per tank, plus you need to rebuild them every 100hrs or so, but fk me that would be a weapon in rushhour, and a hell of a lot of fun on the track.
LOL maybe, but under strict racing conditions chances are you would want to do it more often. 100hrs on the road, which is about 6mths commuting for me, a bit less if I used it for weekend fun too.
Dunno what the cost of a rebuild would be, but the other limiting factor for use on the road is the range, 100k's isnt really that much between fill ups, and apparently that's only if you are taking it easy. Thrashing it will mean even more frequent trips to the servo.
