Aprilia RS660 Review | Best Mid-Weight Sports Bike?

This is the Aprilia RS660. The first brand-new bike from Aprilia in some years. The engine is derived from the RSV1100 unit, and the cool design it's so Italian that you'll love it at the first sight. Although it's winter outside, we were eager to take it out for a spin, so here's our first ride with the 2021 Aprilia RS660.

That intro---lol---never seen that before!!!

[@seismicxcharge]

what a power

[@longlivechina7538]

Review in the snow your the man

[@berkozarpac7903]

Great video as always. I look forward to see tuono 660. Mt 07, trident 660, cb 650 will have a new rival. It is good to see manufacturers are giving importance to affordable fun bikes again. I am fed up seeing high spec bikes with high price tags.

[@RacingandAdventure]

You and me both!

[@janschkeuditz6065]

Good to see this bike ridden in real world conditions. Very impressed by the handling and your riding ability in such conditions. My days of riding in the snow are over but good to see it can do it in safety .

[@RacingandAdventure]

Thanks a lot! We just had to do it, otherwise..🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@strokenumber3]

Great video, best motorcycle channel on YT

Wow, thanks!

Happy holidays!

[@x_ghost_x6612]

This was a great video! You drive in the snow where others would not. I am personally in love with this bike and i will own one. Great work and visuals!

[@shaneziegler2555]

Did u get one?

[@x_ghost_x6612]

@@shaneziegler2555 Greetings! i did not get a Aprilia because i could not find what i wanted. I got a Yamaha YZF-R3 to rip around mountains. Hopefully next year i can find the Aprilia RS 660 Stars and Stripes livery that i wanted. Unless i do a Ducati, or Yamaha R1. Maybe i can figure it out lol.

[@ans512]

Glad that I got to know about your 2nd channel.....just subscribed brothers......😀👍

[@RacingandAdventure]

Welcome aboard!

[@CFC_44]

Been looking around for options. Currently on my first bike MT125 and want to move up but have found my love once again for sports bikes after a brief affair with nakeds. This I think is the ideal choice and those looks!! Stunning machine!

[@valeriogiuliosala9355]

The Intro: Very nice demonstration bike lightness!! Send this short footage to Aprilia right away. Please either make a tutorial on how to do😄😄😄

[@RacingandAdventure]

Thanks! Will do! 😁

[@rzu7120]

It’s great to see cruise control on a mid-size bike.

[@ampm9771]

CC should come standard on all bikes. That's extremely essential with all the speed cameras around.

[@szymonchalupka]

Great bike but currently it seems to be more pre-production model than finished product. My RS660 is stuck for 7 weeks at the shop and they cannot fix the exhaust valve issue. And this is not an isolated case. There are plenty of issues affecting these bikes now. So if you are ready to speed 10.500 EUR and then wait 1-2 months for your bike to get fixed... go for it! It runs great, when it runs. Otherwise buy Honda or wait another year before getting 660.

[@ty8012]

That's my only concern this bike I have a Honda cbr650r which for me my favorite part about it is the reputation reliability of Honda parts not to mention that inline 4 cylinder engine

[@UWfalcin]

Literally looks perfect

[@toteu05]

Great review! Very nice places and the bike looks amazing!

[@RacingandAdventure]

Thanks a lot!

[@2254mau]

Nice bike, hopefully the other variations of the platform will be as cool. Still I have my doubts about reliability and dealership support

[@RacingandAdventure]

We shall see

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

My first bike was aprilia rs 125 in 1995 The dealership issues haven't changed at all since then.

[@LRS7B]

Can somebody explain to me how the engine braking mode works? Surely you wouldn’t want to turn engine braking off..

[@mocioclistu]

Just realized this is a new channel for you guys. Hope you get at your viewership back asap! Subscribed!

[@RacingandAdventure]

Thanks for subscribing. 😁 Yeah, we're working on that.

[@fifibebert3900]

chiar ești cel mai bun !!

[@sv7017]

Good Video Im curios about the Tuono 660.

[@RacingandAdventure]

Coming soon!

[@ltanetwork9123]

Hey buddy, so do you think it will make a good beginner bike? Would you recommend it for someone that doesn’t have lots of experience as a first motorcycle? Thanks 🙏

[@RacingandAdventure]

Yes, definitely 😁

[@ampm9771]

It's a very docile yet powerful all-round bike. It has all the rider aids you need as a beginner. Cornering light...etc And when you are more experienced, you bring it to race track.

[@ltanetwork9123]

@@RacingandAdventure thank you 🙏 . How is the riding position In your opinion ? is it aggressive or more upright?

[@adinovak2352]

The quality of the channel and videos is amazing. The guys from TopGear should offer you a kind of collaboration :-)

[@RacingandAdventure]

😁😁 Thanks for your heartwarming thoughts. We're doing our best.

[@agrisbatna1797]

Thanks for review...l think wich is better, more fun...Triumph street triple rs or this Aprilia what you recommended to take ? Thanks

[@RacingandAdventure]

Didn't make a head to head comparison, but we think it's the Aprilia.

[@tobi7061]

I am 6 foot 5 inches, do you think I could ride the motorcycle comfortably or is the riding position too crampy then? :)

[@maxello1861]

try it out :P but i believe it could get a little cramped

[@Fernando90054]

Hey Man😃! I think that the rear break makes strange noises in low speed, in city riding. Didn,t enjoy that. and the mirrors after 100kmh vibrate too much, if you want to see who is coming behind... you cant see surely what is it . Didnt you notest this minor inconveniences? I ride a Yamaha XSR Abarth Edition, and also think that the Bridgestone Battlax S22 tyres feel more grip and softer filtering the pavement irregularities than the Pirelli Corsa II that equip the RS 660, don’t you agree? Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

[@neorider9183]

yes, it is

[@huseyinzara7444]

Hello sir.Aprilla Tuareg 660 when will be ready.

[@Swrdfshtrmbns]

Great presentation. Do you guys have any recommendations for motorcycle tours in Romania?

[@RacingandAdventure]

Thank you. There are some companies and events. Ride in Romania used to be one of them but now, with the pandemic, we're waiting for the next year's calendar.

[@10secondsrule]

Really cool bike and best colour for me. Shame it will age pretty badly and really fast like any sharp angled design.

[@stefRish]

But where do you live in the North Pole? You better use the sled bike!

[@RacingandAdventure]

Winter in Romania 🥶🥶

[@Z35-h9x]

Does the chain of this bike look normal?

[@Viper4ever05]

Does Aprilia have any reputation for reliability?

[@sachet.thapa542]

Riding a motorcycle in snow. Its not like I haven't done that but probably not a good idea lol

[@True.Motive]

Please try and review Benelli TRK 502 X

[@jackalster77]

Anybody ridden this AND street triple rs ? How do they compare in terms of longer distance comfort?

[@dimandji_ZH2]

11 thousand CC engine cut in half. 11 hundred CC engine maybe. I’m Pretty tall 8-footer. 😂 You are funny guy, deserve a Like 👍 from me.

[@minijpmotorcycles]

I didn't know you guys had a second channel.

[@RacingandAdventure]

Not a second channel, this is the one and only from now on. We’re no longer a part of the drivemag riders

[@minijpmotorcycles]

@@RacingandAdventure Thanks for the reply. You guys create some of the best content on KZbin. I'm a huge fan.

[@desaparecido8]

The bike seems perfect to me, except one problem. Its exhaust has 96dB which makes it illegal in the region of Tirol (max limit was set to 95dB this year). As a bavarian resident, it is a real deal breaker for me...

[@Ni3K]

Genau! Tirol, wie eine Flasche leer...

[@maxwellgirase]

Lovely Video.
