Aprilia RS 660 RS 660

Description

Registered April 2022 on a 2 plate and now with just 7,189 miles. Presented in Acid Gold.

The Aprilia RS 660 is a new kind of comfortable, middleweight sportsbike. It ticks all the sportsbike boxes by being fast, exciting and feeling like a mini RSV4 superbike in the corners. Its crammed with tech and looks just like a cutting-edge race rep should, but crucially it’s easy to live with. Power is usable, the riding position is comfortable and its the perfect to step up the sportsbike ladder for newer riders, not to mention for the rest of us who still want the thrill of a sportsbike without the aches and pains.

Its thrills are delivered in more subtle way and the excitement comes not from top speed or the ability to set lap records, but the exhilaration you get from sub 100mph acceleration and carrying momentum.

The way it clings to corners like its favourite comfort blanket is a trait is shares with its bigger RSV4 and Tuono sisters. Aprilia have always known how to make a bike handle and theyve sprinkled the same magic on the RS 660.

At its heart lies a 99bhp, 659cc parallel twin-cylinder motor with a 270-degree crank. Its essentially the front half of a V4 RSV4 1100 with the same 81mm bore and a longer 63.93mm stroke (up from 52.3mm). Its a perky little number with a sweet gearbox and light clutch but it’s tuned very much for life on the road.

Power is delivered impeccably at town speeds and flows seamlessly to its 10,500rpm peak when you want to get a wriggle on. Tuck in for long enough it wouldnt be hard to see over 140mph on the clock.

It punches out of corners with as little as 4000rpm showing on the tacho (where it makes 80% of its maximum torque) and things gets positively fruity past 6200rpm where it accelerates like a sportsbike should and the exhaust note flips from droning Moto3 to hard-edged, bass-infused V-twin.

This specific Aprilia RS 660 is in great condition and benefits from a host of Evotech goodies including front and rear axle sliders and their crash bungs.
