We also have some fast twisties around here and there have been plenty of corners where I could’ve used more pull to get out of a corner.

I own Tuono 660 Factory. Well balanced bike! Such a joy to ride, super flickable and agile. It's small hooligan beast which pops wheelies too easily :) Enough power to have fun, both street or track!

I agree with everything you said. I got mine in October 21 and I love it!

Great video as always, mate! I purchased a heavily discounted new RS660 just after last Christmas 2022 & love everything about the bike! The looks, the tech, the handling! Only one problem; I’m still running her in so can’t unleash that top end power yet! My favourite bit in the 120 miles I’ve done so far is the cruise control, which is fantastic & a useful feature on a middle weight sports bike! And I’m definitely going to fit a tail tidy from Evotech to make it look even more awesome! ❤️😎👍

Iam really glad I bought an rs 660. The 100 HP are more than enough for dayly use and some tours on the weekends the power is there when it needs to be. Even traffic is comfortable, the only downside I experienced is that you need some additional parts, but tbh this is like it with Évry bike I for myself got heated grips a different licence plate holder the navigation system it's worth it in my opinion but really different to normal motorcycle navigation or google maps and a lower suspension all in all iam so glad I got the rs 660 over the R1 the only thing that is a bit of a pain is finding neutral. This comes from someone who loves super sport bikes so be aware but I would say the rs is a good touring bike tours around 5 to 6 hours are really comfortable in comparison to the R1 or S1000 RR my longest tour was around 500km in one go. My back needet some stretching but all in all I was pretty fit afterwards.

spoke to the mechanics in aprilia dealerships here in Australia. parts can take 14 WEEKS to arrive from europe. 14 WEEKS!! THATS AN ENTIRE SEASON

Would like to hear in person it being banged rapidly through the gears and then at top speed holding 6th just under redline... sustained of course.

Keep up the good work

I do have a remaining question, i love the bike but i am still wondering about the ride height i am 1m67 and was wondering if would be rideable for my height. How tall are you and do you think this bike is suited for shorter riders? Great video!

I wanted to watch because I’m looking at the R9T pure. Both the same price here in the states. I’m hoping to get some good info.

For many years Aprlia have made the most beautiful looking bikes. To me that is an all round desirable bike. I have never had a modern bike with all the electronic gizmo's. Never tried switching modes. Traction control, Quick shifters, Nothing. Still ride. I have two bikes. Not sure how I would get on with all the technology. But it would be nice to try on that.

ABS is good in the rain and traction control can save you from slides. definitely worth it if you take risks. quick shifter seems pointless. if youre racing you can do clutchless upshifting anyway. and if youre sensible and skilled you can honestly do without any rider aids at all, learn how the bike works within a few weeks and youll be fine.

In a parallel twin, both pistons reach top dead center at the same time. In a parallel twin where the pistons move up and down at the same time, the crankshaft angle is 360 degrees.

This is the bike that everyone hyped up when it came out and it kinda fizzled out honestly. On paper it looks great, loads of tech, styling is pretty good and the price is somewhat fair and I would like to see it up close but I haven't seen one in the flesh in Japan.

100 HP on a frame weighing only 400lbs wet is no joke. Is it a ZX6R? no. But for a rider a of average skill the extra 27 HP the ZX6 has would not be usable. Can't justify the price though.

@Crewser no, you didn’t have « to replace the engine » There was a factory recall and the engine were replaced for free and warranty extended. Kudos for Aprilia to replace the whole engine instead of asking dealers to fiddle with engine internal with various level of success…

For me the reliability is first that's why I don't experiment with the one's with questionable reliability.
