I did initially fancy the Cagiva Raptor which has the SV engine, but I'm told they're quite heavy, a ******* to get parts for and therefore not really much good for budget racing.

There's also the Gladius, which I guess will eventually take over as the bike of choice in a few years time.

Currently though, if you look at any of the Minitwin championships they're 90% SVs.

I think the Aprilia SXV 550 is also an Minitwin.

the sxv depends on club as most are RXV spec which is not a production bike
