Aprilia RS 660 - First Ride (BRAND NEW) 

Thanks! I really like this new segment of bikes coming out, but I haven't been able to test the R7 yet since it has not come to Norway yet.. I've got a lot of great things to say about the RS660 so I wouldn't say "don't get one" ;)

Thanks mate 🙏

Takk! MT-n må absolutt prøves, ville ikke vært foruten min erfaring med 18-modellen jeg hadde! Kos deg masse ;)

Non vedo l’ora

Thank you! Height 185cm, inseam 85cm. One of the best bikes I've sat on. I always have an issue with my knee being a little too far down on the tank/frame on most bike. this was great though!

@@MrDrakenhoff so you don’t have that issue with the rs ?

@@SuperGamingcarrot nope

Yes I have d ridden some supermotos, but not for a longer period of time. Cheers

I'm no expert, but it's my understanding that it acts like a "glass/clear" layer over the paint.

Definitely has less power and torque than the MT-09! The power comes a bit later and with less peak, but it doesn’t feel power-less compared!

@@MrDrakenhoff unfortunately this is vastly because of euro 5 emission compliance but it is not impossible to change the behavior of the engine. A free-flowing exhaust and a good map tuning is enough to make the engine feel spicier. Anyway there are things pretty hard to change. I heard from an aprilia engineer that in order to be compliant with euro 5 emission standards they had to make a compromise choice for camshaft timing and duration that touches the limits of valve opening speeds and valve acceleration at higher rpm to allow as little valve overlap as possible to limit the amount of unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust. With a different camshaft the engine could be more powerful and peaky with much more torque up high in rpm. Also the velocity stacks with different lengths for left and right cylinder are tuned to smooth out the power delivery over the entire rpm range. So a pair of shorter, equal length velocity stacks would be beneficial for engine max output (at the expense of a lower torque down low and less drivability at lower speeds).

Thank you! 🥰

I am 185cm tall! Do you consider getting one?

@@MrDrakenhoff I have one 🙂 but I can’t get rid of the fear that I look might too big on it 🤔. I’m 188cm and slim. What’s your opinion on how you look on the bike?

@@EscapePlan97 I mean its a small bike, but it rides so darn freaking good, so Ive stopped thinking about how i look and focus on the joy instead

@@MrDrakenhoff you’re right, that’s how you should look at it!

Surpassed my previous record by 100% though! 😂
