Darrick Lucchesi closely evaluating the progress of his student"I'm really happy that we will be working with Aprilia,' Says West Coast Supermoto School owner Darrick Lucchesi. "I saw the future of Supermoto in the SXV the first time I saw the bike and was lucky to be able to test it over a year ago. Supermoto is growing, and increased training and track day opportunities will only help get more riders into the sport."
"Aprilia USA is very excited about the growth of Supermoto in the USA," says Mike Kull, Vice President of Marketing for the Piaggio Group Americas, Inc. "It is important to get to use the new SXV's on the surface they were designed for - the race track. The Supermoto experience is spectacular, and training is the only way to increase rider skills and explore full capabilities of the machine."
In addition to student sessions, West Coast Supermoto will host media interested in the Aprilia SXV's and Supermoto training.
Lucchesi, and AMA Professional ranked rider, has developed a detailed an intimate curriculum for his students.
