Aprilia RS 660 Reviews

Cruise control changes the way I look at the RS 660. It is easy to associate this bike with spirited riding, but this feature makes it feel equally interesting on long, steady stretches. The tubeless tyres add another layer of confidence when I am covering unfamiliar roads. I like that these features bring a calmer side to a motorcycle that otherwise feels very performance focused. It means I do not have to ride the RS 660 aggressively every time I take it out.

The Aprilia Quick Shift makes changing gears much easier because I don't need to use the clutch every time. It works especially well when I want to ride a little faster and keep the bike moving smoothly. The dual channel ABS adds extra control when I need to brake quickly. These two features give the RS 660 a good mix of performance and control.

One of the first things that stood out to me on the Aprilia RS 660 was the Aprilia Quick Shift system. After a few rides, I found myself looking for excuses to change gears because the shifts feel so smooth and effortless. The 15-litre fuel tank is another thing I've appreciated, especially on longer rides when I'd rather stay on the bike than stop too often. Little things like these are what make me enjoy the RS 660 so much.

I rode the RS 660 on highways and twisty roads. The 15-liter fuel tank allows long rides without frequent stops, while 17-inch wheels provide grip in corners. Seat height is 820mm, and dual 320mm front discs with a 220mm rear disc offer precise braking control throughout.

The RS 660’s 659cc parallel-twin engine produces 98.56 bhp and accelerates quickly on highways and city roads. Handling is steady in turns due to the lightweight chassis. Suspension absorbs minor bumps well, and braking is sharp when needed. The forward-leaning seating is comfortable for medium-distance rides. Fuel lasts long enough for most weekend trips.
