07 svx 5.5 questions

[akita45]

Hey guys, I searched the forums a bit and couldnt find anything.

07 SVX 5.5

How reliable are these things? Ive heard as long as you do regular mainentance and use recommended fluids they are fairly reliable.

How much power do these things have? My crf will power wheelie in every gear, will the svx be the same type of power?

Is it true you cant do long distance trips on them?

As far as parts go, are they somewhat cheap? Also do you use 91 oct in it?

I will probably have some more questions later. Dealer in calgary are selling some 07s for pretty cheap. I just dont want to go through the hassle of street legaling(even a word?) the crf and I cant import ktm smrs(good ol canada). Thanks in advance guys and i know i should take one out on a test ride but weather is not permitting that for a bit.

a search will answer all of those questions.

07's had some issues

depending on the tune and mods.....a lot of power can be had 70, 80, I've even seen 90hp

wouldnt want to, not designed for it and besides, its a supermoto.....who wants to go straight at 65+mph for long periods of time.

Dont know, never owned an ape

How cheap is cheap? You can find 08's for cheap around here and the 08's seem to less prone to the early bike issues
