PWC shopping, just like most major purchases, is a matter of checklists and compromises. You go into the process with your list of “must haves,” a few “sure would be nice” features and, of course, the couple items tacked on the bottom of the list that are pretty much “fat chance, but sure would be nice” additions. And you cart that list around with you, whether mentally or physically, as you browse through manufacturer ads and store brochures and a few showroom floors, and you try to find the model that comes closest to your checklist, most often marking through those lower items, compromising a wish-list mentality for reality, practicality and availability.
But let’s face it – we all start out with that “my perfect ski” list.
Well, don’t toss out that list just yet, because RIVA Racing may have you covered!
Working in what I can only assume looks something like Santa’s workshop (minus the snow, plus some Florida sunshine) RIVA has put together a custom dream machine that starts with a solid, performance based build, and just starts piling on the options from there.
According to the specs from RIVA, this mean machine started with an RXT-X 325 graced with custom graphics and sharp-styled anodized components, just as a starting point. Add in RIVA’s billet steering system, sponsons, and Stage 2 engine modifications, including a power filter, blow-off valve, maptuner ECU tuning and a Solas impeller.
The checklist doesn’t stop there, though. Add in a dual rear exhaust kit, a Wet Sounds audio upgrade and a custom non-slip RIVA seat cover, and what you end up with is a gorgeous beast that hits 84 MPH at 8500 RPM with incredible acceleration – and something that is sure to come close to matching a lot of those checklists from top to bottom.
Be sure to keep up with RIVA Motorsports and RIVA Racing to see more custom builds, performance products and PWC racecourse action.
