My second bike is a KLR650 for bush and play where I don't want to risk damage to the 1190.
But I have being thinking maybe the KLR is a bit heavy and under powered for what I've kept it for.
I missed out on the latest bargain Husky, but a friend told me about a Aprilia rxv 450 with low mileage going for R30k.
it has more power and torque than the KLR and the Aprilla is ±135 kg vs the KLR's 194kg wet weight.
One negative is the small tank.

Do you have any idea on parts spares, service, reliability etc for Aprilla?
Or Should I just stay away? If so why?
It sounds really nice to me, also a tall bike which I like, but I have no idea on the important aspects so knowledgeable responses will be appreciated.
