Thanks so much to everyone that's watched so far. In relation to the oil drips mentioned, after consulting with Aprilia, the issue was resolved after a quick service and clean once it was returned to the manufacturer. A spokesperson went onto say this would be an easy quick fix at a local dealership. Hope this helps! Ride safe. Dan, MCN.

I’d say this is a common issue with many bikes. I have had a honda 650 and a husky 701, both brand new, that leaked oil from the oilfilter gaskets. Just a replacement by myself at home and all good. Hope this is the case for the Aprilia as well

The oil leak and aprilia customer service put me off from buying one, yamaha is less powerful with literally no electronics and yet my order is already placed for it, because of customer service and reliability

[@Nick-hp2ul]

Here in Oz the difference in price between R7 and RS660 is $6000 it almost doesn't make any sense to compare them, funny thing is the panigale V2 costs just $2000 more than aprilia so I am really struggling to make a decision, would anyone advise me wether it is best to get the V2 by paying $2000 more or aprilia rs660 is a better choice also there is question regarding reliability of Ducati vs aprilia and the costs of repair and parts, an advice would be appreciated

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

Thanks, corrected now.

[@ricardotolosa2671]

I have one RS660, and have done 4 track days so far. Ifound that all eletronic controls changes were quite noticeable at the tracks, specially traction control.There was a 2 sec lap time difference at Estoril, from modes commute to race engine cut at lean and throttle does not responded as fast, also ABS intrudes a lot. At the streets I found only the throttle response to be clearly noticeable when changing engine maps. So, in my opinion those different set-ups serve the purpose.

[@zeljkomadzo614]

Late to the party I know! Went to inspect and to sit on of these yesterday, the US edition and here are my thoughts. From only looking and sitting on it (will do a test drive soon). It looks really cheap in some ways. Like a toy. That one they had as a used had only been driven 2730km, meaning barely anything and it already had rust in some places... Even behind the front brake disc on the internal components. Might not be me used to sports bikes but you really sat very aggressive on it even though everyone says comfy for a sports bike. Pegs are too high up as well it feels even though I am 176cm tall, which is not a lot tbh. Paint looks nice, but thin and the stickers are a bit hmm so and so. A bit of a shame it looks and feels rather toyish irl. But that engine howl sounds amazing on videos at least! For reference my current bike is a Trident 660 and it really feels like a very well built kit. Quality wise feels like a much more expensive bike even though there are cheap plastics on it as well here and there. Seat also not the best. I sat on the new Street Triple RS as well. My oh my! If the Aprilia feels like it´s built a bit like a Dacia as a comparison (which is unfair I know). The RS looks to be built as a Bentley or something. Paint so thick and deep, the leather on the seat and the components, even the stand is very solid and looks more expensive than needed. Also felt amazing to sit on, very sporty but much more comfy obviously than aprilia which it is since naked. I will try them both incl the Tuono to see how they feel riding.

[@NooBiker]

These really are so so valuable to people considering new bikes! I remember watching similar when deciding on buying my Ninja 650. Hope to see more of these 👍

[@pggp273]

A lot of so called presenters could learn a lot from Neevsey. A total natural and a pleasure to listen too

[@Blottski]

I was surprised Neevesy said he didn't like the sound. I suppose it makes sense if you are more traditional inline 4 kind of guy, but in comparison to the closest competitors to this bike in the 650 class I LOVE it! It's at least an almost exotic sounding twin and not a traditional lawn mower sounding parallel twin. It's all subjective of course I suppose.

[@dhowting]

Doesn't like sound......still has factory exhaust on it lol

@@beingsolo80 You're missing "having a brain" part :D Also the Supersport is a nice GT like the CBR 650R and the Panigale V2 is a real supersport unusable as a daily bike. If you had a brain you will see that the RS 660 fill the gap between those 2 (and that's why it's so successful)

[@beingsolo80]

@@22Epic The Supersport has 110 hp. Its a much better street bike than the 660, more reliable and much better resale value. I suggested the V2 but you're probably too broke for it. Get the 660 and enjoy the recalls. Cheers.

@@beingsolo80 I'm sorry mate you can't afford a RS 660 :( I understand that you're mad, but you may be afford one, not new but used, if you work hard enough. Keep up mate !

I need help for the MCN community. I'm buying a new bike this weekend and I need to now if I should go with a zx6r or rs660. Any thoughts?

[@ronaldbear1]

How does it compare to the CBR650R ?
