Should a BEGINNER get the Aprilia RS 660 a FIRST bike?? 

“Learning power and throttle management while also learning everything else” is why smart people don’t pick a 400+ hp Mustang as their introduction to driving stick.

That NSX though

I think you nailed it, the throttle is odd for sure. I have 4,900 miles on mine and it took a while understand how to smooth out the throttle. I have been riding street bikes for thirty-five years and my 660 is my fifteenth street bike. Everything from an RZ350 to a Touno V4. Someone without experience could find themselves in trouble. between 5,000 and 6,000 it is dead then it comes alive with a vengeance. A new rider having to ride this thing between 7,000 and 10,000 will be an issue. Also it has so much electronics a new ride is not going to learn the basics of riding. I love mine it is light, stops well and ride smooth. Smooth is fast and you can never really use all the power of a 1000cc bike. I sold my other 1000 cc bikes and now it is my favorite.

Pro's: Fantastic, *very* rideable bike. Quite tame at lower rpm, somewhat rowdy over 8k. Excellent electronic nannies if used. Damn sexy beast, very comfortable riding position, best seat of any sporty type bike. Con's: Relatively expensive. Ordering any oem parts takes literally forever. Smallish dealer/service network so you kinda need to know how to do your own wrenching. Some of the fairings are a pain to remove. I would agree it's not for beginners, but would make a very very good second bike. It's exactly as you said. You *could* do it, but I don't necessarily think you *should* do it. If you respect your right wrist, you'll probably be fine, but to get the kind of performance out of it that this bike is capable of on the twisties, you'll need a good deal of confidence and practice. Pretty much agree with everything you said. Ride safe fam!

Great Video, I feel like you were pretty on point with everything you've said. I just got mines 2 weeks ago, I was just so in love with the looks and tech that it had and the price didn't seem too horrible in my opinion for what it is. It is my first bike and so far so good. I have had experience using friends bikes like the 600RR (which was the first bike I've ever ridden) and the Ducati Supersport S that I rode through the Canyons in California. I feel confident enough to know what my limits are and have been easing to what the full potential of the bike really is but obviously at my own pace. I would say overall I have about 1100 miles of ridding experience, So I would most definitely still consider myself a beginner rider.

Awesome video. I agree with...well...basically everything that you said in the video. Took my MSF course 3 weeks ago, never rode before that. I loved everything about the bike and pulled the trigger and got one. I've put approximately 6-700 miles on it since then and I wouldn't change my decision. I'm also in my early 30's so I don't really have the urge to go crazy on it. I think that I haven't really had an issue managing the power, but it took longer than I think it should have to be more comfortable in the slow-speed maneuvers. Granted, it's something that we should always be working on just from the "being a better rider" aspect, but /shrug. Having never rode motorcycles before, I will say it's addicting. I feel like it's consumed my life and as soon as I park it after a ride I want to hop back on it and go out again lol

This is a very well done video with really good points Thank you.

I bought one of these jewels as soon as I passed my full license! In fact it was 3 weeks before my test! 😂 It is my very first big bike having ridden a 125 before and I can’t get enough of it ♥️

Great video. I liked the way you defined "beginner rider" at the start of the video.

Got one as my first bike, I love that I haven't found a need to upgrade, at least not yet. The rule to safety with any sports bike I think is don't twist the wrist as you say, save that for track day.

My RS660 is the first bike I've ever owned. I have never had a riding experience before getting my license. Before I got my licesne we had proper training in an enclosed space which got me around 20 hours of riding time on a 160cc bike. After getting my license I went in for a 660, and it took a LOT of time for me ti get used to it. On the first week I practiced in a parking lot every night. The following weeks I dis drills from Motojitsu. It was difficult to use for slow maneuvers due to its riding position, took a while to get used to. It took months for me to get really comfortable on it. Good thing I never dropped it, but I might just be lucky. For praticing, I would really prefer a smaller one.

Definitely plan on getting a rs 660 in the winter next year. ive never formally ridden sport bikes but i have a small history with riding dirt bikes as a kid as well as driving manual sports cars.

My first bike is the RS660. I got it in March. I have 3000 miles on it. I love it.

My son and I are looking to get into riding with very little riding experience. This helped set this bike up as a possible destination bike with the ninja 400 being the current mark as our first bikes.

Brutally honest, thanks for that

Your RS660 is sounding good. 👍 I got my first bike back in the 20th century. It was a 9-year-old 125cc dirt bike that I rode (AKA practiced on) for 2.5 years before I got my second bike, a 200cc dual-purpose bike. By the time I started riding bike No. 2 on the street, I had the riding skill part down well. Whenever I have been asked by a newbie for advice on what to buy for their first motorcycle, I'd recommend a 200cc - 250cc dual-purpose bike for ease of use and maneuverability. This was typically met with an expression on their face that meant: No. I want something like a ZX7R. One time I saw a guy picking up his brand-new Yamaha Virago 750 from the local Yamaha dealer. He gave me the impression he'd ridden many miles over many years (the guy was around 55 - 60 years old). Once his new bike was rolled out front, he started the engine, revved it up fairly high, grabbed the FRONT BRAKE LEVER, and stepped down on the gearshift lever. The rear tire chirped and launched him into the telephone pole across the driveway. He survived but the forks were bent from the impact. He should have been on a Suzuki DR200SE. o.O

Loving your videos mate. Just bought one of these. Moving from. Honda CBR500R. I'm the mature rider you mentioned 😊. I get the bike in February when I'll have done 2 years with my initial license which limits the horsepower you can have. I live in Spain. Keep the videos coming, really enjoying them

Good perspective. I remember when I decided to take the leap into motorcycling, and I too had the concern of “what if I’m not into it?”…. Well, it changed my life. I’m incredibly thankful I took the jump. (Note: I bought a cbr500r, but the rs660 will be my 2nd bike)

Bought the rs660 as a first bike. Should be delivered this Saturday so I'll let you know how it goes. I'm a bit older (37) and I've had high horsepower manual trans cars (600+ WHP in a 3000lb car) for many years now so while I like the speed, I've also come to appreciate how quickly things can go sideways. My first experience on a any bike was doing a 2 up ride on a gsx-r 1000 at vir with a former ama Superbike rider. Ever since then my whole goal has been to get involved with motorcycle track days. The first time I actually controlled a bike (not just riding on the back) was doing a 2 day course taught by the same ama Superbike rider. The course was on dirtbikes on street tires in the mud to teach how to control a motorcycle at the limit. Between that and the msf course that's all the experience I have. Like I said, I'll let you know how it goes lol.

Had a RS125 as a first bike. 33bhp. Felt fast, was fun, handled well. And if you tried really hard even 400’s struggled to get away on twistys. Had a go on my mates RGV 250. Double the power, but once you know 2 strokes it was a doddle to drive. I was doing 140 in my first 20 seconds of riding it. Great thing about 2 strokes is if it gets scary you just change up. I’ve wanted an RS250 for 25 years now…..but this looks a better option to be fair.

Every beginner has different understanding of the motorcycle, they see it differently to other beginners. Some prefer to get 300cc and some cannot wait to get their hands on the V4. It doesn't mater what RU-vid says, what matters is - You know you, so be honest with yourself and don't rush into your outcomes, because this can cause you your own life! Listing your intuition and watch yourself how you behave in particular situations (slow traffic, fast traffic, motorways, open roads) and how quickly can you fix your mistakes because the next one can be worse but it can also be not so bad as you're starting to understand what bikes are about! I say buy the power you want but know You first!

that was a beautiful NSX

I’m a new rider, never driven any sort of bike prior to buying this. I have a 2024 Aprilia RS660 Extrema and so far I’m loving it, it’s been about 3 weeks.

I learnt most of the basics on a 160cc bike in the last 8-10 months. Now I am planning to buy Aprilia tuono 660. Wish me luck 😅

Thank you so much for this. Very helpful information. And honestly you helped make a decision for me to stick with the G310 R BMW and work my way into something like this.

100% agree. I’m actually downsizing from the RSV4 factory. For the road this is more than enough. Too much for a beginner in terms of where their focus should be. Go with a used fz6r for a year then this.

I’m currently learning on an rs600, as an absolute noob some things I can confirm is the choppy throttle. It’s also kinda touchy and I’ve accidentally sent it a couple of times. I’m a week in and I’m barely starting understanding it. The electronics are a bit confusing so I don’t mess with them. As long as none of the important lights come on I don’t worry about what’s going on on the dash as I’m looking forward anyway. I can almost flat foot it at 5’10 but the weight isn’t heavy so balancing it on my toes is easy when I’m at stops but walking it is kinda hard. I’ve had zero issues leaning into corners, it’s super nimble and it almost pushes me to lean in even more and it’s pretty fun. Over all I understand and respect the power it has and take little steps and I think that’s key

I'm buying an RS 660 later this week, but it definitely won't be my first bike. I really like the way you handled this topic, because new riders need to understand how fast that bike is, and how intimidating 100hp can feel when you have little to no experience on a bike, but I do have one question, how does the RS 660 perform next to bikes in the 600cc class? If you would give your insight if you have ever done any type of comparison it would be appreciated.

I got the Tuono 660 factory as my first bike. I have dirt bike experience and am a mature rider now. I will say the first ride I felt like I maybe made a mistake 😂 But I am super happy with it. I think like you said for a shorter rider and someone who is under 190 pounds, this bike would feel very fast for sure.

Hi, I liked ur video, ur approach is loud and clear. I'm from India. I had a bike an year ago Bajaj 180 dtsi. I love bikes but don't know which one to buy. In my list I have BMW's G310 R, Honda CB300R, Honda CBR500 R, Ninja 400. I ride very less bcoz of traffic & road conditions. Which one would u suggest.

Here in germany when you start riding a bike and you're 18 you are only allowed to ride 48 hp. Then after two years you can do the license for unlimited hp bikes. Also it's a little bit easier to get your hands on attachments. Furthermore making the drivers license for bikes takes a long time and can be pretty hard sometimes. So you have a little bit more training before riding the Rs660 for exemple. Imo in germany it's a pretty good beginner bike. But only the 48 hp variant.

Here in Europe the driving exam is a bit more rigorous than in the US, and I had a bunch of extra lessons (the instructor didn't think I was prepared), and I'm 37, and on the car I'm quite conservative. For these reasons, I decided it would be ok going for a more beefed up bike, and the safety electronics made me go for this one in particular. You only live once, though I expect I'll be driving slow for quite a while.

Been riding 2 125s for a year now, my next bike will be a rs 660, wish me luck ✌🏻

Your takes and your videos never disapoints, but I think I have a slightly diferent opinion. The cost of the bike, is high, but at the end you are paying for what you are getting, the cost of the bike is high if you compare it to any other A2 bike, but this one is equipped with everything you would desire. Speaking of equipment, this bike has every electronics and technologies that will secure your safety when you are riding, such as power managment, abs, cornering abs, brembo brakes, good forks suspension, and the best thing it is light as fk. Also you can restrict it to 35kw for the A2 permission. (so the problem with the high amount of HP, will not be there) Obsiously, there is not just one answer as if this bike is recommended to beginner riders, but one thing is sure, if you drop the bike, prepare yourself, shit's not cheap to repair.😂

Interesting… I’m in my mid 30s and just grabbed a used aprilia rs50 out of interest. Dirty cheap 50cc two-stroke which doesn’t require any license where I leave. Liked it a lot, went through an MSF and now looking for a first full-size bike. Fell in love with the rs660, don’t like/want any other bike tbh, but kinda afraid of getting one. Everyone mentions how lightweight, nimble and easy to ride rs660 is, but at the same time everyone says 600cc isn’t for beginners. Might be too aggressive, not even mentioning expensive to drop… so now I’m debating between this one or an R3 for a season or two and then upgrade to rs660 🤔

Why does this look like the road from Santa Cruz [CA] going to San Francisco bay area [CA]? I just bought my upgrade Aprilia RS 660 bike today [a day before my birthday]. Funny how this month is april. .and the bike is APRILia. . .coincidence? So far love the bike. .I still need to set up my clock and other dash info. Initial miles out the door were 9 [mi.]. Great bike so far. .it's insured, registered and ready to have fun. Got the black version. Ready to slap on my stickers I was saving for just an occasion.

Great Video….I am not a beginner rider but I like the mid-size sport bikes over the 1000Cc sport bikes for being light and easy to deal with. Anyway, I am about to buy the RS 660 2023 Extreme version. Do you advise me to go ahead and buy it…? I am reluctant because of the vibration this bike has on higher speed, I could not see anything in the mirrors while I was on the high way for a test drive. Thanks in advance.

I rode dirtbikes my whole life, never owned a street bike I just bought a RS660 Brand new a month ago. Its a great bike and definitely not to much for me.

I plan to get the RS660 35kW when i sit my A2 License, will likely sell after 2 years for dream bike

great vid

The answer is yes I've owned a 660 and it feels like a 400 personally.

Thanks for you prospective .

I started riding on my rs660 didnt regret it once it can be a very friendley bike

I own an RS 660 and someone driving down a public highway at over a 100 mph should not be posting an opinion about who should own a bike. keep it on the track

Excellent talking points however I would like to add a couple of things. First and foremost I'm basically a beginner rider (33M) who got my license last year and bought this as my first bike right after (ordered it and received it the day I actually got my license). I'm also located in Europe and getting your license seems to be taken just a bit more seriously over here. I'm not saying we don't have our own EURO Bros out here but as a whole getting your motorcycle license is a bit different and we can't just buy a 100hp bike (or above) when we're 18 (laws vary by country and experience on when you can actually do that but as a general rule you can't ride this bike if you are 18 unless you have it altered under a specific power level). I have done about 7k miles on it since purchase and I just wish I could do more but time and weather prevent that from happening. With these things in mind I'm going to attack 2 subjects: is the bike beginner friendly and what kind of beginner are you? In my opinion this bike is absolutely beginner friendly thanks to all the reasons you posted and a couple more: the bike is light for its category, it is super comfortable (at 5 11 I'm good but people that are taller might have a problem with their wrists), the brakes have excellent feel and will stop you in no time, it turns like a dream, stock tires are great in all weather types, you can have bluetooth connectivity with your smartphone and have access to calls, music and even navigation (I personally just use a stem mount for my phone as i like seeing what is up ahead and just control my music with it), it has cruise control which is a godsend on those highway miles and probably some others I'm missing right now. Is the bike perfect? Hell no! I don't think that has been invented yet as it is all a matter of preference but it sure gets close to it. Finally someone made a decent, comfortable bike with 21st century electronics. What is this purist nonsense where stuff has to always be hard and punishing in order to enjoy. If there is even a 1% chance something will save my ass in case I do something stupid I sure as hell want it. Secondly, on the topic of rider etiquette, I feel that saying something is not beginner friendly comes down to basically who you are. Rest assured you can yeet yourself off the side of a canyon road with a 50hp bike as well and there is nothing that can prevent that from happening except you! When even baby motorcycles can out accelerate a 100-200hp car (up to a certain speed of course) that's when you need to respect and acknowledge the risks you are undertaking with every input of your body. You are less protected and more exposed while enjoying this and you need to be aware. An obstacle on the road can force you to crash regardless of what you are riding. This is why we, as new riders, should always strive and work within our limits, ever so slightly pushing them until we no longer feel comfortable (or we realise the dangers we are placing ourselves in needlessly). Be responsible, don't try too much all at once, improve one aspect at a time and you will be fine no matter which bike you choose. P.S. I have ridden my bike 95% in Commute mode (lowest throttle response, highest engine brake) which I find very enjoyable and it has allowed me to improve drastically. Could totally use the other modes but I find this takes the least mental effort and I can spend the rest of it on improving my skills rather than having screenshots of my speed around a corner :)

My first bike was a ZX-7R but I'm at an older age now (50s) that I'm actually looking at a RS 660 Extrema due to the back position. I'm looking to cruise not like my younger days where I tracked my ZX-7R. I was also looking at a ZX-4R KRT. I'm now leaning towards the RS 660. I really wanted the MV Agusta F3 RC. I can't justify the price for it. I can settle on a RS 660 for allot cheaper.

As a new rider is it possible to get replacements for the screen that integrates directions like waze? Or do you have to get an attachment for your phone like everyone else has. Seems crazy that it isn't standard just as a safety feature on these higher end bikes.

alright so imma start with the ninja 400 then get this as my second. wanted this as the first but ive seen too many videos telling me to do otherwise. imma take the advice.

You are probably right, but depends on money,I think

I drove that road every day for work for 5 years. I was having flash backs watching this and I didn't figure out it was 17 until the very end. 😢

Is the Daytona 660 a better beginner bike? I've only ridden some 125cc motocross for 2 years when I was a kid. Greetings from Germany

Hey there! I’m so torn between the Rs660, which I believe is one of the best looking bikes out there in that range and the Tuono 660 factory which comes with fully adjustable suspensions and something more. Have you tried both? I currently own a Ktm 690 sumo and have never owned a sportsbike, but from what I see in your other video the RS is ok even for longer trips! I’m gonna use my bike primarily for longer trips and occasional track days! Rs 660 or tuono 660 factory 😅

Hey man! I already bought mine so there is no point of return haha but what do u think about having Aprilia rs 660 35KW version as a first bike?

without seeing the video, my first thought as an owner of one is: depends, does the beginner want to hurt himself? xD jokes aside, anything that goes up to and beyond 200km/h or accelerate this quick should be an absolute NOPE for beginners, imo

dont have rs660, but went with the tuono 660 factory asa first bike. Issues: Squeaking rear brake (very common), Choppy throttle esp first and 2nd gear. Powerdelivery gap. High seating pos. , And runs hot, atleast you really really feel it on this one on your ankles/feet. Neutral is a pain is the ass to find. Quickshifter gets somtimes stuck/hard to shift and you gotta switch to manual / but downshift never has a problem. and the pricetag is hefty. THAT SAID. WOULD i trade my 1month tuono for another bike? FCK NO. its is badass mothafcka

Casually driving behind a NSX at the beginning of the video

About what bike to start riding, where I live (Spain), after you get your license, during the first 2 years you cant ride any motorcycle that has more than 47,5horsepower (BUT you can buy and ride a 95hp bike that is able to be limited to 47,5hp via electronics). There is a version of rs660 with 95 horsepower due to this, limited to 47,5hp and then after 2 years you can lift the restriction (if u want to) and ride it full at 95hp. Then I think, is it really any motorcycle a beginner shouldnt buy/start on, taking into account that its gonna be capped to 47,5 hp for 2 years? Or it should be fine getting an rs660, mt07 or even z900, if they are limited to 47,5 hp? Im in the process of getting my license atm and have watched a decent amount of videos about beginner bikes to start and not to start on, but with this limitation that exist in my country, does it really matter?

Wow Los Gatos & 17 highway ❤

Im 50 years old and only want one bike from start to finish so yes rs660 till I die .. hopefully my grandchild can enjoy it after me :)

For me, it depends on the age. I'm over 40 and promised myself I can get a motorcycle when I'm not insane anymore, but I can guarantee, for me this will be zero issue to get as my first bike. I could probably have a race bike and I would be fine because I'm a careful old man lol.

Think your the first to mention true definition of a beginner.......massive difference between switching genres and never been on a bike....

I’m a 20 year old that has been riding for almost 2 years on an Honda monkey 125, getting an A2 licence, would this bike with a restricter on it (47 BHP) be a good choice? It means I can grow into it and remove the restricter when I get a A licence. Or would a KTM RC390 be a better option.

yes, its a good for beginner.

Love the bike, but the OG NSX

Honestly I think one of the exceptions should be is money an issue. I think anyone looking to spend at these has already decided 15 to 20k the first year of ownership isn't a problem

Dat NSX doe 🥵

So, did i make a mistake? I just ordered a 2024 rs 660 extrema. It will be my first bike. But, I didnt want to get something that I would want to trade up within a year. I'm 52 and have no wish to go out on it and go crazy.

Great beginner bike.

Hey man I’ve been thinking of getting this bike not as my first but second after having a 300 for 5 months and then not riding for 6 months because I had to sell the bike but I was looking for an opinion on if it would be to overwhelming after that break I can confidently say tho that I learned everything to learn on a 300 without going to the track and I was always topping it out at 120 do you think I’d be able to handle it?

Idk why ppl just ignore 125s and 300s for their first bike they just hop on a 600…. There is a reason why smaller cc bikes exist! Id rather drive a 20hp bike full throttle then 100hp bike and be scared to press the gas..

Here is some party pooper advice , never ever ever mix any amount of alcohol with your bike. Some people does realize the negative effect that one beer can have on your reflexes, and these high-performance machines need you at your best 100% of the time...just saying. Everybody be safe

Should they? Probably not. Did I anyway? Absolutely.

I tell people about dirt bike experience because otherwise they try to tell me where the clutch is lol

So there are no "beginners" in my country. The driving school will take you about 3 months of riding. So before i even got to drive alone on the road, i came out fully educated and had been on 2 different bikes. A beginner bike is a 300-500cc. No more. Alot of tech will not help you become a good biker since you dont have any sturdy base to rely on without the tech. A real beginner bike is more in line with MT-03. Or lets say a Rebel 300-500. Not a 100HP sportsbike. Its like placing a beginner behind the wheel on a 300HP car.

Does anyone else get a lot of noise with the rear brake? I have 400 miles on mine.

It's a good beginner bike in Europe where you get some real training passing your motorcycle licence (also the bike is limited to 35 kW for the first years)

I paused the video a little less than halfway in to comment... I've seen and loved your other videos in the past... Maybe because I just woke up? I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I had to lower the volume on my ear buds almost to the point of where I could barely hear you talking because most of the time you were riding around at over 7,000 rpm at slow highway speeds making it scream and buzz, but there were vehicles passing you. I must have yelled shift man like 20+ times while trying to watch this lol. People that don't know any better in the cars probably thought you were pinned out on a small cc bike like a 125-250cc. That was really bothering my ears. I understand wanting to hear the bike, though it doesn't sound great like an inline-4 IMO, but keeping it screaming at those high rpms doing like 60 mph in 2nd gear in some cases just looks and sounds ridiculous. On a track while racing... Yes, it totally makes sense. On a highway with vehicles passing you... Not so much. Again, normally I love your videos, but I had to say something on this one. Anyway, no hard feelings. Safe travels man. You're definitely great rider 👍

This bike shifts automatically?

An RS660 is slightly more tame than a proper 600cc I4 SuperSport--- so, no lol.... but people buy those and 1000s for 1st bikes and what I tell them is it's not so much the extra risk of you killing yourself like others state over and over... but what advanced skills are you going to develop on an aggressive ergo, extremely powerful race replica where your main focus will be NOT killing yourself and controlling the beast without the skills to control it instead of easing into the fundamentals of riding and being able to further push a more forgiving bike? An RS660 is not as extreme as say a ZX6R but it's closer to it than it is something that a new rider should be starting on. The skill thing is for real-- drop your ego and spend a season or two on a forgiving bike and work on fundamentals and you'll actually be able to get on an RS660 when you're ready and ride it well at less risk to yourself and not show up at bike meets with 4 inch chicken strips lol. "I'd rather get something I can grow into" and insert some powerful track ready bike is silly ego stuff. Experienced fast riders blow away less experienced riders at the track and twisties on Ninja 400s all the time leaving the newer rider on his BMW S1000RR bewildered. But anyone wondering if the RS660 is a badass bike... well, it's basically a perfect street sport bike with power and balance right in the sweet spot... absolutely shredzzzzz

bro passed the nsx @ 0:38 😮

It's probably not a good idea for beginners to buy a brand new motorcycle; the Internet is full of bikes with under 1k miles. And if you buy something unique like an Aprilia, you'll be sitting on it a long time if you want fair value. The best thing a new sport bike rider can do is buy a used 600cc model that's in the 5k range. You could pick up a solid Honda CBR that has a reasonable amount of miles and is relatively easy to fix and buy parts for. An older R6 is a good choice, too

Beginner with a bike that hits 60MPH in 3.7 seconds? And a road hungry one that you need to be intuitively familiar with things like counter steer, weight shifts, etc, to be able to confidently go through twisties with - or even just really enjoy riding?... Are Americans asking about what is for superbike beginners or just motorcycle beginners? I.e., the rider would have passed through good bikes like the 125s, 250s, 400s, etc, up the ladder... Or are these riders intent on leap frogging over the ninja 400s and KTM 390s of the world, that with skill, can keep up with the big boys on country roads, where the real fun is, and just going on to the near 700ccs? If going from 0-700cc is the objective, I cannot even see that as brave, as bravery is no substitute for skill..... Ah... Now I'm watching further and you are speaking about throttle control, etc.. I prefer the direct route as a beginner message... You buy you die...

casually cruising behind a clean nsx

Honda NSX right there

WHYS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE NSX 0:43

No. Should get an rsv4 factory if it’s gonna be an aprllia

If you've riden dirtbikes or stuff like that growing up get a rs660. If you've never riden anything befor don't start with one only cuz it's 12k new. Get something cheaper.

Probably 125 or 250ccm would be more than enough for beginners

Casually rides by an NSX

How about a r7 😅

i lost focus as soon as i saw the nsx

casually finds nsx😫

If you raced motocross, especially starting at a young age...don't let these guys tell you it doesn't translate. Of course there's still a learning curve, but my 63hp/230lb motocross bike is much faster than most beginner bikes. Guys like yammie noob(and probably this guy) are trash in the dirt, and in turn have no idea how much skill is required for motocross. This advice is how I ended up getting a bike I was bored of within a week...

With this bike u risk to learn to open the throttle in the corner

Trust me when I tell you this, don’t get an RS 660 as your beginner motorcycle. Get the Hayabusa instead.

Way revy not a fan of the sound and engine choice

No beginners don’t ruin the bike for the rest of us

Its slower than your average 600cc Japanese supersport, so I say a beginner could easily get it as a first bike.

Yes, because I started out with the CBR500r ,and got bored really fast . Traded for the RS660 , and better ,faster, and enjoyable to ride !!! 👍👍👍👍
