In SX?
I haven't a clue...
However, I would assume Aprilla is a long way off from the PC Team/Kawasaki when it comes to SX. Wink

As for the outdoors he could possibly do ok... top 10. Smile
Who knows...?

If this is the V style double cylinder engine, the AMA outlawed it.

Dude the supermoto versions of those things are beasts , and sound amazing with akro pipes on them. best sounding things and great to throw a leg over....the twin cylinder pulls nice through mid-top , for moto i cant imagine how they perform though, it would really be interesting to try one....

He'd be racing GPs or not in the USA on an Aprilia since its not AMA PRO complient.

Josh Coppins mustard some top 10s on it. http://www.joshcoppins.com/index2.htm

Yup, that bike isn't legal in the AMA. So I know exactly how Pourcel would do on it: DQ.

FYI: I may have missed the official PR, however, I read on the Italian MX news that 2010 has been Aprilia's last season in MX.

That's okay, they have themselves a nice shiny new WSB title to polish.

I thought about Sebastien Pourcel at first, which would make more sense.

That sucks. They brought something new to the MX table with the twin engine design. I would've liked to see them follow through with development and make it a more reliable and competitive bike.

The AMA needs to make the 450 class an open class, and let something like the Aprilia in.

I hope that this isn't true about Aprilia-I don't care too much about how they worked, but there isn't a cooler looking bike in the GP paddock! Too bad they may not continue development as Coppins was able to get it to a pretty competitive level. I agree with Blake-the AMA should loosen up a little! 500 2 smokers, v twins, open bikes, whatever!
