Pg. 6 Road Racing World February Issue. Check it out looks like a really solid platform for a lightweight! 95 hp. and 58.5 lbs.- ft. of torque. http://www.apriliausa.com/jacket.asp

Light weight ?   Last I looked a 750cc, liquidcooled V-twin is a little over the capicity limit.

that was last year,this year it is up to 800cc water cool twins,even the bmw 800 is alowed to race lightweight .The classes are changing with new bikes comming out.The ducati 748-749 is not allowed in lightweight.Looks like the aprilia shiver is built strong and solid.The engine almost the same as an SV.Maybe suzuki made it for them.
