2020 Aprilia RS 660 | Ridden & Reviewed

[@ncsteeltoe]

I've ridden nothing but GSXR 750's for the past fifteen years. This thing is going in my garage next. Finally someone recognizes most riders don't care about 200hp superbikes that cost more than a new car lol. Parallel twins have more than proven their worth.

[@remigusker6024]

Ever since I went from my R3 to my MT09 I wanted a bike with the 09s power but in the 'semi sport' package of the R3. This looks like exactly what I had in mind. My only potential issue is I'm not sure I trust the reliability of Aprilia. But I'm definitely willing to give the bike a look.

[@parko1965]

Well said...200bhp+ is just a status symbol, but can you really ride it on the road? No. For me there are two perfect bikes the Tuono and the new Super Duke both sub 200, but what fun.

[@cp4512]

Remigus Ker have you thought about the Honda CBR650R? About the same power (96 BHP), relaxed sporty riding position, 4 cylinders, looks great like a baby-blade, and has Honda reliability (and it’s a good whack cheaper too). Just a thought.

[@remigusker6024]

@@cp4512 I've thought about it aye and it's a handsome bike. But after riding one I found it just a touch sluggish feeling down low and the bike itself is a bit heavy and clumsy feeling in comparison to my 09. That said I still get the impression it's a good bike overall, but the 09 has spoiled me a bit on the "excitement" factor the 650R seems to lack.

[@fastlandscapes4201]

... be honest with yourself... I mean, if you are happy with 100hp it's okay, but riding a >200hp bike is absolutely another level of experience. Owned a 1098s and now riding the new Gixxer 2019... Honestly I can't feel satisfied riding 600cc or 800cc, even if on the road they can be more "fun"...

I don't like the new aprilia (the whole brand), but I ADORE the 2strokes they made in the '80s and '90s. It's impossible to NOT like this brand. They are so niche and such a small manufacturer, still, they give everything a try: enduro, dakar, allroad, trial (world champion !) 2 stroke road racing, 4 stroke road racing, SBK, motoGP etc.

[@mikep.5517]

As the owner of a 17 Tuono Factory I have to say this bike checks a lot of boxes. Aprilia have upped their UI with new left-side controls and an updated TFT. I'm really surprised at how good the intake and exhaust sounds are from the parallel twin. I'll never get rid of the Thunderbuggy but this would make a nice addition to it.

[@bennettsbikesocial]

Well said Mike, we have to agree. Like many folk, we got all excited when we first saw the prototype a couple of years ago and thankfully the reality is just as good if not better. Cheers, Michael

This is such a clever pitch from Aprilia. Super bikes are just ridiculous for the road, it’s an ego buy. They look great but are a waste. This bike fits into its own category where everyone wants to go but didn’t realise. Enough power, great looks, user friendly and different and exciting enough. BOOM 💥

Especially the 600's which are completely inaccessible on the bottom end. I have 10x more fun riding Enduros dirtbikes on the road because of the torque.

[@drewmorg.]

@@HelloJamesBond The thing people forget about street riding is sometimes you have to slow down for traffic ahead and it's not always enjoyable to constantly switch down 2-3 gears to be in the right RPM to take off again. Having that extra low torque takes your mind off things and lets you drive a bit lazier and just enjoy yourself! Everyone loves shifting up and down for the canyons, but in traffic? NO!

Tuono 660 has really got me excited, tuono vs street triple will be interesting

St3 will be quite a lot faster on a straight line since it has 100cc and 1 cylinder more.

@Bernd DasBrot lol, more power = faster

@Bernd DasBrot when you apply torque over time it is called power. Power = torque * rews. Four cylinder engine can reliably rew higher than engine with fewer cylinders. You use gearing to get the peak engine power down to the ground at any speed.

@Bernd DasBrot what kind of machines are we comparing? Different displacement? Weight? Geometry? What kind of street riding? Highway? Tight twisties? Fast flowing turns? How about speed limits? Same displacement engines with different cylinder numbers make roughly the same torque. But it is just a fact that a twin with the same displacement cannot be reliably tuned for as much power as 3 or 4 cylinder engines. Therefore they have allowed larger displacement twins to be raced against smaller four cylinder bikes because otherwise fewer cylinder engines just wouldn't stand a chance.

I wanted this bike. But with the delay, I got a GSXR 750. I’ve had two CBR600s, an R1 and now the 750. Loved them all for different reasons. Am I correct that this bike is less performance than my CBR600s? My GSXR is more than I’ll ever need, just as my R1 was. For me it’s not about the overall top speed, but a combination of looks, performance and how I feel (fit) on the bike. My question is “with over two decades of riding experience and skills to match the typical track day super star, will I be underwhelmed by this lower performing bike? I mean, how much slower is it than a CBR600?” That’s what I’m wondering. I prefer to ride safe and sane most of the time... but not all the time. And as I age, I am thinking about how a more upright riding position would be better for longer rides. Aging sucks but biking keeps us young.

How would you say it compared to a Street Triple 765RS?

[@TheImtoomuch]

Another great bike with an unnecessarily high seat height that rules out short riders like myself.

[@marveltric1773]

does anyone know if a company will make more aggressive clip ons(like supersport type aggressive)? Or where/when I would be able to find that out?

[@w0ffle]

Sounds great!

Red and Yellow my eyes just burned.

[@duffymoto4632]

perfect timing. i was looking to get a cbr650r because i thought it was the only bike similar to something like this (excluding the ninja 650 and sv650). the aprilia would be way better. pricy im sure tho

[@metalmaster76]

Is this a proper sports bike or one of those dorky cbr650r high bar sorta bikes ?
