it's less hyper and more of an Aprilia SXV
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

How about what's wrong with these photos?


The 2 photos are of an Aprilia Dosoduro, tweaked to look like a Hyper.

(edit...swingarm says SXV like Paper said)

The original photo you asked about does appear to be an actual Hyper.

Why would they make a aprilia look like a hyper and not just start out with a hyper????
Is this thing on?

Because a Hyper probably doesn't like doing the stunts like an SXV (i.e. real motard) does.

stock SXV is 280lbs wet

Hyper is 395 dry

SXV's make jumping onto flatbeds easier

You win a poptart! Simply go to the nearest market, find the flavor of your choice and give the cashier $10 for S & H and they're yours, free!

you know that sucks. can't believe they did that. why not just mod the shit out of a hyper. or why not just use the Aprilia as an Aprilia. I know, marketing, sponsors, directors.. blah blah.. but now that I've seen what they are doing... much less interested in seeing the movie.

Really? It's pretty standard practice to mod stunt vehicles so they can do one thing and still look like something else.

Like making Tom Cruise appear both cool and tall, when he's neither?  :D

The problem with the Duc is the location of the sump and the header.. The huge jump is NOT CGI, and casing a landing two up at 65mph is a no go.

Gotta do the best you can with what you got buddy!
