APRILIA SRV 850 Maxi (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia SRV 850 Maxiwas a scooter made by Aprilia in 2012 to replace the identical GP 800 model from Gilera and continued production until 2016. Until 2022, the SRV 850 was the fastest series scooter.

The 2012 Aprilia SRV 850 Maxi was powered by an 839cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivered 76 hp at 7,750 rpm and 76 Nm (56 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine was identical to the one that powered the Aprilia Mana 850.

The power generated by the engine was redirected to the rear end through a CVT automatic transmission with a dry centrifugal clutch and a final belt drive, launching the scooter to a top speed of 193 kph (120 mph).

Visually, the scooter was characterized by standard features, such as a body covered with fairings, a dual headlight system, a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with rider lumbar support, and five-spoke alloy wheels.

The scooter was built around a double-cradle high-strength tubular steel frame that housed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 122 mm of travel and a seven-way adjustable monoshock mounted horizontally.

As for the braking power, the scooter's wheels were fitted with two 300 mm semi-floating stainless steel discs coupled to dual-piston Brembo calipers on the front and a 280 mm stainless steel disc tied to a dual-piston caliper, assisted by an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
