Ok the tires are obvious but I would like to know what else is different about the two bike? Would you be able to take a SXV into the trails one weekend with just a tire swap or are the springs not the same also?

Many differences, including wheels, swingarm, brakes, suspension and transmision. There are some posts about setting up an SXV for trail use if you search for them. Easiest / cheapest route seems to be custom laced wheels and brake mods, if I remember correctly.

I tail ride my sxv/ktm520 with the street tires. It slides a lot but thats fun to me. there are also some good super moto tires that look like dirt track tires that would have better dirt grip.

Complete forks, shock, swingarm, transmission, cams, different diameter/width of wheels etc. etc. etc.

Night and day, two different bikes
