Not a bike for a novice MX rider. Have you ridden a 550 aprilia ?

why cant you keep it at yours?

Where I'm living at the mo, I don't have a garage.

Am thinking to renting a garage, but if I do will get back into track days with trailer.
no garden?

I do but my house with a few steps lower than the pavement with steps upto a busy road.  I did ponder trying to get it up and down over a plank, but due to a hedge I can't see if anyone is walking along the pavement! Had versions of pushing my bike up a plank, into the side of a pram and pushing them into the road....  Either that or just dropping the bike one day!

neither is my mention of the mighty cr500
I have ridden both the sxv550 and the rxv 550 both mental bikes I do agree that they are adamant in attempting to kill novice riders

SXV is an offroad bike because it spends most of its time off the road being fixed...
