    Funny- I was thinking just the opposite. And while it's cool, isn't that a 450/550 TWIN?

    Yes. There was (is) a very cool spec series for those bike in the UK.

    Lamerrill Motorsports built a custom chassis/swingarm for the SXV motor recently. I think this guy may even be a member here.

    Look at the swingarm on that beast!

    I saw the same thing. Does a bike with a motor that size need a swingarm that big? I really don't know. Just asking in case you or someone else here could clarify that. Looks cool as shit though.:up:

    Number 8 is Jeff Crowell, who has put in a number of Clubman runs on that bike here in the North Central region. Heck of a machine.

    That bike is even cooler in person. He ran against the Moriwaki's at Mid Ohio.

    My bad. In my haste I thought it was a RVX450 conversion. That bike is actually a RRV 450 raced by Sam Wilford in the Thundersport RRV450GP and Supertwin championships. See the Aprilia Challenge website for more info. That Lamerrill Motorsports bike ridden by Jeff Crowell is sick. Thanks for sharing.
