The RXV/SXV series are
since 2006. Both versions have either 449 cc (27.4 cu in) or 549 cc (33.5 cu in) engine sizes.Frame/chassis
The RXV/SXV's frame is made of a combination of tubular steel and aluminum plates. The compact engine fits into the frame in such a way that the air filter sits on top of the engine, below the gas tank, rather than the more traditional under-the-seat location.[1] This allows for a lower distribution of weight.
Engine
The RXV/SXV has a v-twin engine, and is one of the first off-road motorcycles to feature fuel injection. The 450 has a displacement of 449 cc, while the 550 has a displacement of 549 cc. Each engine has a single-overhead-cam and four valves per cylinder. The 77-degree cylinder angle minimizes vibration.[1] Both are dry sump, with a separate oil tank for the gearbox and engine.
The 450 produces a claimed 60 horsepower (45 kW) at the crank, while the 550 produces a claimed 70.[1][2]
