Thank you for the review and information. Best review I've seen so far, covered everything.

Brilliant review, thanks Rennie; most professional I’ve seen. Info for my head and heart. If I were in the market for a new bike the RS660 would be at the very top of the list. The intake drone from the air box alone is enough to win my money. 👍🏽

best review so far ...keep up the good work !

Awesome review. Dig the engine note & new Aprilia design, top shelf street bike

Love it ! Good work, sir.

I actually learned how you ride and control your acceleration through this video, by hearing the exhaust note. It is very clear whenever you are accelerating and that exhaust note grunting sound that tells me when to accelerate on corners. Thanks for the review.

I can also recommend watching the video documentary "a twist of the wrist 2" on youtube. it teaches you a lot about riding via real videos, animations and dialogues between noob and expert riders.

RSV4 engine braking changes with the three maps on my 2017 RF. FYI. Great review!

I agree with you. This is the bike I was waiting for! I find it perplexing how none of the manufacturers figured this out before. I hope they sell bazillions of them. If they prove reliable I can definitely see this replacing my aging VFR for commuting/sport touring and all round do-it-all bike.

Nice machine. Remove the passenger pegs and mounts, a nice tail tidy and a hard seat cowl cover for the rear and this bike would really look even better.

Great review!!! I am definitely considering the new Tuono 660 as my next bike.

I am anticipating a race ready RS660 Factory Twins bike👌🏻

What a amazing motorcycle!!!! I hope to buy one!

It's a niche premium brand, it can't be compared with the Japanese (dealerships amount), unfortunately. I don't know where you're from, but it's the same everywhere, even in Europe. That's the downside of owning an exotic brand bike/car, especially considering the fact that they break a lot more than the Japanese, so you need to get to the dealerships more often.

@@DoctorStrange01 I think the dealer network in Europe is acceptable. I have 2 dealers within a 50km range, I live in a rural area.

So it seems to take care of the V4 based bike lighting issues (finally). I didn't hear about fuel mileage. Those are my only 2 issues with the 1100 Tuono. Needs better light and a bit better mpg would be great. I average about 30-32 on my Tuono. Im thinking this bike could do low -mid 40mpg. What's the verdict?

I wanted this bike to exist so bad when I bought my shiver 750 8 years ago. The purple and red is beautiful .

Just watched the vid. Very nice, however I was begging you to rev the thing.. I needed some more point and squirt twisties with some hard accelerations between really but it is what it is.. I am seriously considering downsizing from litre bikes to slow down a little and bring back the cog swapping enjoyment of riding bikes, hard, without the risk of ending up in prison every time I crack open the throttle. Best get a demo booked in the new year! 😁👍🏻

They have great frames, but the mid range bikes are great grab. They look 😍

Love it.

I'm looking at this as a replacement for my yamaha FZ6R. It would get less mpg overall but an extra 25hp sounds awesome

what are cornering lights?

Not cheap here in the US. Would you buy it over anything else in its price range?

Definitely thinking about getting one but want to wait and see what problems the first year production ones have.

I've heard a lot of negative comment on the yellow(ish) one, but I really like the color - what I think makes it weird are the red wheels, it would be much smoother with black rims. And if you care in the slightest about cleanliness or esthetics you don't want any color other than black.

I am slightly confused. Some RS660 have turn signals on mirrors while other models have it integrated into the headlights. Whats the reason for this discrepancy?

@musicjnky1982

Turn signals on mirrors is for the U.S market. The integrated lights are for Europe.

Thanks Rennie, looks like a nice bike. I know it's the way of the world but man too many electronic aids.👍🇦🇺🍺

I'm disappointed you didn't mention Ducati Supersport S which was maybe even the first one with this style.

In this video there is mirror indicators.. But in some other videos there's no indicators only plain mirror 🤔

I wonder what the MPG or mileage to the tank will be?

Should be pretty decent. My dorsoduro gets 7 litres per 100km and they are not very well fuelled.

For now Aprilia realiability and maintenance costs are the deal break for me... but ill wait and see how this model does and how the other manufacturers will answer. One thing is for sure, the electronics on this bike are a huge jump on the other models of the segment.

Lamborghini should bring out a 1.6 3 cylinder super car, it would be less intimidating than the crazy stuff they normally churn out😂

That isn't just "a little bit more sporty" than a Ninja 650, it's A LOT more sporty. The N650 is barely sporty at all! It's near standard (Z650) with a sportsbike look. The N650 engine peaks at 8K rpms, just where the RS660 is getting started. And the 180 vs 270 engine makes a lot of difference in the sporty sound.

rs660 DRL looks like hyundai sonata kkkk

Similar to Ducati Supersport S

Pity the engine doesn't sound more grunty than sounding more like a dirt bike.

Inline 4 like sound would have added more spice to the bike

I'm really getting annoyed that every bike that remotely resembles a classic sports-touring bike is being hailed as the next big thing..... We want sport-touring bikes. Give me this one in 850cc, with panniers, don't change anything else and I buy it.

It’s priced as close to a brand new r1 as it as Sv 650 17k and 6.5k respectively. And if your 90hp bike wheel spins you need new tyres or better ones. Anti wheelie😂😂😂😂 those bars ain’t coming up unless you front brake, clutch and throttle with damned good tug of the bars.

Aprilla is too late to make this product coz already the other manufacturers do not focused on 600 cc class .. they r more interested on 1000 cc class...but still we love 600 cc class ss or sport touring bikes ...

id buy it but their reliability is iffy at best.. id rather get the triumph trident which guarantees low maintenance costs
