Built around Aprilia's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2017 Aprilia SRV 850 pairs a 839.3 cc (51.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 76 HP (55.5 kW) at 7,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 76.4 Nm (56.4 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 90.6 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,750 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the SRV 850 measures 249 kg (549 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.31 HP/kg (3.28 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,593 mm (62.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.5-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
