Finally got my hands on a Aprilia RS660 

So question what category of bike is this?

Between 600/650 class sport bike

It also has a race mode under the race category of maps Street: user, street, sport Race: track 1, track 2, race

@@Aless_Rides street mode: Commute, Dynamic, Individual. Track: Challenge & Time Attack

I was thinking the same. People won’t look into the lane they’re turning into until they’re already half way in it.

We get used to it 120mph isnt THAT fast

@@theunluckycharm9637 just because you’re used to it doesn’t mean the dumb drivers around you are also used to it, they won’t see you

@@theunluckycharm9637 Its more than fast enough to kill you. At that speed, there is no way, any rider can react fast enough to slow down safely if something happens unexpectedly.

@@spartanx169x that's not true 100 percent of the time when I go 120mph I can predict what people will do. I'm extremely perceptive

In the full on track mode you can adjust engine braking, ABS, wheelie control, traction control, etc etc.

Makes sense

It does weaken the engine breaking. It has like multi level adjustment. I customized my individual mode to everything off. Commute mode you barely need to touch the breaks it so strong.

Brakes**

Agreed! Brah is bar none the best rider on RU-vid.

Street rider he's up there imo I can't come close to him but a track day be cool to see it's just not his style

Hate to hear of your setback! Hope you're fully recovered by now. You really had me laughing when you mentioned Gixxa Brah could help you learn to be safer! I had no idea anybody views his videos thinking he could do any mentoring on 'safety.'

How u doing now?

And with a stock exhaust :0

😀. What kind of name is that?

@@patrickmba7638 Don’t make fun of peoples names

That's the 270 crank.

right😭

Nice! I’m looking at getting a Tuono 660 as my second bike. I’m nervous about reliability.

This 2022 is my very first ever sports bike. I’ve never had any type of street bike in my life. I’m very impressed. Across-the-board with this bike. I have had nothing but dealer support with any questions or issues that you hear on RU-vid and they have answers for. The reliability issues they had in 2021 with the engine issues. Aprilia made good on every engine to be replaced. That speaks for itself. As long as you don’t flash the ECU you will not void your warranty for two years. I don’t plan on doing that so that I can get used to the bike and make modifications gradually to enjoy the bike for a long term. The only issue I have personally is the mirrors shake at 4000 RPMs and up. Most people remove them. I plan on keeping them wish there was a way around that. I did do a full titanium SC project exhaust with carbon fiber, tip model, CRT-1 and it’s freaking amazing. The bike is loud aggressive. Sounds perfect for this parallel twin. I wouldn’t change it for anything. I feel that I helped to convince another Moto Vlogger SKXIIII on choosing this exact exhaust. He recently had an issue pop up on his dashboard with a red”R” which meant his quick shifter sensor needed to be replaced, but it’s still under warranty. I found out that answer through my dealer to help him out. Simple and quick. He called it a reliability issue but that’s not reliability because the bike wasn’t down. He can still shift through the gears manually with the clutch up and down. It was just a sensor. I’ve had no leaks. I’ve had no failures of any kind. I took ownership on April 9th 2022 first 2022 RS660 Apex black sold south Florida In Miami. Check mine out @spitfiya.rs660 You might be able to see a walk around video I’ve done with the modifications on my bike. Good luck in your decision. I know you’ll make the right one and won’t be disappointed.

I have same setup on my '22 Apex Black, definitely get a tune. I'm using Gabros SC map through UpMap and it was worth every penny. Huge difference in sound, feel, and even exhaust smell after the tune.

It’s not the scary one it’s the slow one

it has about 100 hp if i’m not mistaken

@@Aric_V slow is a relative term when talking about bikes

98 horse

@@Gixxerbrah 98 Italian ponies.

Ya same

@@Gixxerbrah If you ever come to Australia, you should do a bike meet! I'd get heaps of people to show up.

This would sound so much better with a full Mivv or Motobox exhaust.

Lol you have the more reliable bike

😀. Poor would be no bike at all..

How’s the reliability been? I’ve heard horror stories about this bike. Only dealer close by in the DFW area is way out in Plano off 75.

@@keltecdan They worked out most of the kinks during the first model year. I bought one in April and so far knock on wood, no issues other than a temperamental QS. But I will say, as you said, some peeps had issues with leaks in the oil and cooling system.

@@keltecdan I have had no issues across-the-board. No engine issues, no electronic issues, no handling issues nothing. Anything that goes wrong recently from other viewers are kind of minor and could be fixed very easily if it happens. As far as mine it’s been a gem and I’ve had no issues and a lot of excitement on this bike. I am very impressed of all the features that this bike is equipped for the price. I’ve done a lot of research on this bike over all other makes in this class, and this by far exceeds them. I could go in great detail on what this bike has to offer, but I might bore you to death along with everybody else reading my comments. If you’re interested to hear other features that this bike has do you research or simply reply back and I’ll be happy to mention as many as I can think of that come off the top of my head for this bike.

Would it make a good starter bike? I just ordered one. Should I garage it and get something else to start on. I'm 52, and to old for the let's get stupid.

@@brianburkhard5209 yes I think it’s a great starter bike. I’m 54 and this is my first sport bike. You just have to be disciplined and don’t do stupid shit. Yes are you gonna get it to win it and go through the gears top end, I’m sure of it. Right now. Honestly, my bike is in the shop any day I should hear that it’s ready, but while going through the gears, my throttle gave out while the engine was still running and a big red flashing warning sign came across my digital display which indicated ATC disabled, which is (Aprilia Traction Control). I hear that the bike needs to be updated in the computer system. Hopefully that’s all that it is. I also hear, that electronics are not covered by Aprilia which sucks to hear when you have a two year warranty and you figure you have bumper-to-bumper coverage. I also hear that if you install a tail tidy and there’s aftermarket lights that go on the bike that they won’t honor any electrical issues. I think that’s crap especially when the dealer does installs it Aprilia should support their product. I’m waiting to hear the answers. Hopefully today I will be told when the bike will be ready. I also had them check the tone wheel and the speed sensor to see if those went bad by any chance. I hear that a micrometer needs to be used for the spacing and distance between the tone wheel and the sensor so that it reads accurately if that is off you’re gonna have issues, especially in top end speeds. my fingers are crossed. I’m missing my baby girl and I want her back. Can’t wait to ride again. The only other issues I’ve had with the bike, which is common that the oil pan bolt/nut backs off a little bit and could create a leak (VTwin) which it should be routinely checked for torque specs by manufacture. Once that was done, I have no more leak. hope this helps you in the future with your purchase of this beautiful bike.

How fast have u gone on it?

And what's d reliability like?

Just take it on the highway late at night and let her rip man. Top it out. Then you’ll know You don’t need skills to ride in a straight line

@Patrick Mba honestly reliability hasn't been bad so far. It does occasionally idle a bit rough right after start up. It also used to die at the first stop sign in my neighborhood. It would be fine after that. During the first 600 mile service they updated the ECU and it seems to have resolved the issue.

@@patrickmba7638 111 mph

Looked like a mattress

Same here. Only a few other bikes I’m interested in with cruise control on it. Yamaha MT-10, BMW F900R, Aprilia Tuono 660, Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx are the ones I’m leaning towards.

@MagDump yeah man, I got an MT-07 right now, I like it but it doesn't have cruise control and I'm on the highway a lot lol. My other option is an MT-09SP or just wait for the R9. But I think I'm gonna go RS660 next year

Bring it here. To Riley’s. I’ll rip it.

@@Gixxerbrah I will try to, 4hr drive w no truck :(

🥉

😀

Hm not according to the comparison, we just made using a 636 like we did with the R7.

Not a very wise choice.

@@loganmorgan8319 it’s a fine choice

i didn’t own it but that was the first bike i rode as well. awesome bike.

Nice..

Well they top out at 140, so if a sv650 goes faster than that, well then no.

Hm it’s like around the same. The prettiest got more arrow, so would probably over take it on the high end.

Nope

That’ll be out Monday

@@Gixxerbrah Don't forget to talk about d riding position compared to d other 600s.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Eeee I mean 636 more bike for your buck but 660 more tech

Lol. My track record suggest otherwise.
