Cette "nouvelle" n'en est pas une...Aprilia cherche depuis plusieurs années à commercialiser une "micro-sportive" en remplaçant la RS 250. D'ailleurs la rumeur concernant la RS 550 4T existe depuis 2007 : http://www.apriliarsbikers.com/topic1141.html Mais il est aussi confirmé que Aprilia possède des prototypes de 250 2T et 600 2T à injection directe (Ditech) : http://twostrokemotocross.com/2009/06/two-strokes-strike-back/ "Aprilia craves an accessible performance middleweight, says it could easily render its seminal RS250 Euro-3 compliant and has twice already come close to releasing such a bike."[...]"project leader in Aprilia’s engine department when the firm secretly tested ADI on its RS250 – remembers: “The ADI-equipped RS was so efficient that it could run on the tailpipe emissions of the regular RS250 at idle”."[...]"The combination certainly proved mouthwatering for Aprilia. Mike Ambler: “In 2005-6 we looked long and hard at a 600cc two-stroke in an RS250 chassis. The prototype was slated to have 110-125bhp at 8-9000rpm, and weigh 145kg. That would have been a hot-rod, but in the end it was decided we’d have more chance of marketing a Mana than an RS600DI.” When asked if a clean middleweight two-stroke would bridge the yawning gap in Aprilia’s sportsbike range, product manager Francesco Polimeni replies: “I completely agree. And things seem to be changing in the past 12 months, customers warming up to this type of bike. We are keeping our eyes open so as to pounce on any opportunity that becomes available.”"[...]The Italian holder of 33 two-stroke world-titles has twice since 2000 come close to reviving production of its iconic RS250. First as an air-assisted direct injection 250, and again in 05/06 as a 110-124bhp two-stroke 600." Un retour du 2T en 600cc par Aprilia serait superbe...un jolie pied de nez au Moto2 (Honda cup)...Pour ma part j'achète direct...surtout qu'un 600cc 2T à injection directe existe déjà chez Rotax (fournisseur des moteurs Aprilia) : http://www.ski-doo.com/brphtml/skidooenginetech/fr/Index.htm et http://corp.brp.com/NR/rdonlyres/B8048345-D497-466D-81D0-BDA8DBCABD05/0/2007_01_31_ETECBackgrounderFR.pdf On vera bien... Tout ce que l'on peut affirmer c'est que Aprilia veut proposer une petite sportive...mais on ne peut pas ni s'avancer sur la cylindrée (entre 250cc et 600cc) ni sur le type (2T ou 4T). Ce qui semble se confirmer c'est que ce sera un bicylindre... En tout cas, ce type de moto m'interesse et je ne pense pas être le seul...cela permettra aussi de faire concurrence à la Suzuki 650 SVS qui pour le moment est seule dans cette catégorie...
