Alright, yeah... I love this bike. It's a sweetheart. Wish I could keep it. Go to www.yammienoob.co to win it!
No one:
Rear brake : baby seal noises
U forgot to pin lol
Try scalpel
Maybe you'll be getting a Tuono 660 for keeps then?
I love bike give me this 😍😍😭
*watches FortNine's new video* Wow Italian bikes are awful.
*watches Yam's new video* Wow where can I buy three of these?
Hahaha
I would gladly deal with a dirtier bike if this is said dirtier bike. At least Aprilia was still cleaner than Ducati. lol
Yea remember to keep in mind his words "this is a very small sample collection". I owned an Aprilia for 4 years, most reliable bike I can imagine. This RS660 seems to be quite a beasty bike, and Aprilia in general have solid mechanical reliability
just change the oil every 4k-5k km instead of 10k, you should be ok
I literally just watched the FortNine video too 😂😂
One thing that gets a bit overlooked is just how confidence inspiring this bike is for the rider …. It just FEELS RIGHT… agile AND stable… it commands its path.
I bought my RS 660 two weeks ago and I have the same issue with the rear brake. But I love the bike... and I really enjoy riding it. 10/10!!
I dont have this bike nor work on them but Try loosening the rear axle nut, then retorque it. Same with the rear brake caliper bolts. (I had that issue on my lil Ninja 250R from factory looong time ago)
Your videos have been really great in helping me out to filter down the bikes that I will choose from for my next bike. I've been riding for 20 years (jeez I'm old enough to say that...) and even at 38, and having owned dozens of motorcycles, including racing motocross when 2 strokes were the end all be all, I take your commentary seriously, because you view these bikes through more experienced eyes than you actually have. Very mature perspective, and now I am happy to have narrowed my choice to a Tuono v4, Yamaha MT10.... The opposites of the hypernakeds, I guess, or the RS660. Two budget conscious choices and one ego pumper.
LOL. Keep up the great videos.
Papa Yam is never goin' to stop simping for the Daytona.
Yammie, you’re the reason I now constantly lust after motorcycles. Thanks for helping me find yet another expensive hobby lol.
Too bad I can’t afford a bike rn 😭😭😭
It’s in my Italian blood to own one. I was force fed ravioli and meatballs my entire childhood for a reason.
Sounds horrible 😋
@@itsbuddhaone If I didn’t finish my food, I was forced to sit on the step leading up to my bedroom for a half hour. The least Lord Rossi could do is grant a complimentary bike to the Baranello blood line
@@drewmoto732 how you doin paisan, did you get your dream Aprilia yet?
@@CHURCHISAWESUM ☹️☹️☹️
I love the bike and plan on getting one. But not a fan of the McDonald’s spec.
Gives it american vibe
I’ll take ya to Don’s
@Lance Brown You can always buy a second fairing kit for 500$ and keep the stock one fresh. Then paint it custom as you would like.
@@kungfukenny4439 $500? That's cute.
@@vector6977 Glad you found it cute. Plain white non sprayed kits don't go for much. Then you can properly choose a custom color.
Everyone:
THE OIL MUST BE BAD
Me:
54 world titles? Haven't they had that sticker for 5 or 6 years now?
@@AngelSapundzhiev Nothing really, just thought I saw 55 or 56 at first. Was surprised to see it's still 54. Was ready to party for team Aprilia hahaha
@@AngelSapundzhiev Agreed!
Well... thats bc kawi is winning everything right now. Never go full kawi bc you never go back
I think you nailed your explanation of why the April RS 669 just makes sense. I love fully faired bikes but I don’t want most of them because they are too track oriented. The ninja 650 is a great option but it’s nice to have other options.
God damn it Yammie, I am going to have 10+ motorcycles on my wishlist because of you.
Almost sounds like a crossplane r1 or a tamer v4. Unreal... best sounding parallel twin I've ever heard.
I agree with Yam regarding an SP version. Part of my reason to get a litre bike, was that it came with all the bells and whistles. Happy to be corrected, I believe with most manufacturers, if you want their most technologically advanced bike it will be a litre bike. A mid sized bike with carbon fibre fairings, Ohlins suspension, and the electronics, would be attractive to a reasonable number of people I believe.
I would call that color Nuclear Green... I LOVED that color on the Old Triumph Speed Triples !!! It looks great on this Motorcycle too !
Wonderful video my guy! It's currently my 1st riding season starting out on a ninja 400, and I'm really thinking about pulling the trigger on this bike next season. Hopefully the 22 models have some more color options!
Don't know how they found Spite too. Two great presenters who are enjoyable to listen to. Now give us UNLIMITED BUSA POWER!
Thanks! Rode this thing as a rental after my MSA, I do not have much in a way of a comparison for now - ridden only a few 125s, 300s and MT-07 for the exam, but it did feel approachable, wasn't tiring at all.
I still want a goldwing. I'll just squid vicariously through you and Spite, Papa Yams
I love what aprilia and yamaha are doing with the twin sport bikes. Now something else im DYING for are more triple cylinder bikes like the daytona 675r or something like an R9.
I was wondering how they'd address the turn signals on the NA version of this bike since I heard we weren't legally allowed to have the cool integrated turn signals in the headlights that the Euro version has. I feared it would get stuck with ugly halogens sticking out the side like so many NA bikes get stuck with, but I'm happy to see Aprilia chose to go with integrated mirror turn signals instead. Good save Aprilia. I like mirror turn signals just about as much as their integrated headlight signals. A spicy $14,300 north of the border though......I still want it.
Did you end up biting on one? I am tomorrow and I also have to decide to stomach that "North of the border" price but I have decided it will be more than worth it in the end.
@@Blottski I ultimately settled on a Husky 701 sumo, which funny enough, is another bike with a ridiculous hard-to-swallow price tag for what it is. I decided I wanted to try something different from a sports bike, ergo wise.
ye but now cant change the mirrors, or well, u could, but then the wires?.. an signals?.
@@ribalderr6052 The wiring for the mirrors was easy to undo if one wanted to. They were connected via positaps, which can be easily undone any time.
@@Gofr5 suppose Id leave it really, cos then have to find covers, an what where for mirrors, theyre not hideous like jumping out at u, at least there not on a post sticking out the side right? lol.
20:25 That SUV! Great work not even breaking a sweat Yam!
Im just enjoying the fact that there is a new 600 option out there looking and souding absolutely lovely.
Can’t wait to get this as a beginner bike
I’m torn between the r7 or the 660😩
@@sym9798 Already decided?
Nice first review Yam. Get mine in a few weeks. Don't fit ur demographic. I'm 72 and it's like my sixth bike. Did a little club racing back in the day. Haven't ridden since 2011 at CSS (all 4 levels). Just want back in the game. Keep it coming.
Got one on order, should be here in July!
Yam, could you please not call this a “little” sportbile? Better to call the 200hp death machines “absurdly large” or “bloated”, or “over powered”. The 660 is a true sportbile evoking an era when sport bikes were fun and manageable.
Absolutely absurd.... I’m guessing either you don’t have a bike or ride a scooter...
Feeling a bit insecure about our choice in bikes are we? It’s an A2 bike in Europe, it’s designed to keep beginners and young guys a bit out of trouble. It IS a little sports bike, and I love it and will probably get one, as I’m not experienced enough to fully enjoy the big bikes. Nothing wrong with that.
Picking mine up on Saturday. So excited. Great review✌🏼
Congrats. Which colour did you go for?
Seems like a solid little commuter. A little mods i think it could reach the same speed as regular 600's.
Another good Review. Keep up the good work!
I wanna get my licence and this bike makes the most sense for a super sport I’ve seen as a second bike
11:50 love that sound!
Golden video! Couldn't have been more pristinely produced. 🏍️
I hope you do an on-track review of this bike. It looks like a lot of fun!
highways in texas are notorious for riders doing long fast straight pulls and doing steady speeds of 170 plus.
this is really one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen
Murica, trucks and jeeps everywhere. Love it.
Can’t wait for the RS 457 first ride video 🎉
as someone who doesn't care about the elecronics, i would go for the cheaper CBR 650R
It's not just about the electronics. The RS 660 is a way better motorcycle if you track or go canyon carving.
@@musicjnky1982 its not all about being better performance wise, its a great bike don't get me wrong, but it just doesn't justify the price point, its gonna suffer from the same problem as honda where you gotta pay that premium price, and most people would get a slightly more crappy bike insted of the overpriced one
@Vanessa Xoax if you care about those stuff sure, but most people just want a cool looking bike and not much more, its the same as giving a gaming pc to a person that will only use it for word docs and power point presentations
@Vanessa Xoax well there are only a few fully faired bikes in the category, so there isnt much to compare with, both bikes look cool as fuck, one is just cheaper and japanese
@Vanessa Xoax for me personally, the cbr650 and rs660 look way cooler than any 600
Thanks for the impressions! It reminds me of a smaller Ducati V2... I am genuinely interested in the RS660
Picking mine up tomorrow ❤️ still cold in Sweden, but hey I'll just have it in my living room for now.
Can I pick you up today 😘
Congrats. Which colour did you go for?
Think 🤔 I'm going to start listening to classic piano rifts while riding this season
I haven't wanted another bike as bad as I do now. My all time dream bike has been a Daytona 675R, but sadly I never got my hands on one. This thing has me just as excited and just as in love! I will definitely be getting this bike as my 2nd.
Yesss, the on bike review and impression😍😍😍
After 2 zx10rs and 2 zx6rs this is the kind of motorcycle i want to downsize to. It's perfect for a road sportbike. It's a shame the Japanese manufacturers don't make something like this. Just can't seem to trust aprilia build quality.
it's confirmed that Yamaha will make the R7 in 2020. hopefully there will be more manufactors joining this class of bikes.
Nice!!! Another video on the RS660, schwing!!!
Have an 05 Fz6, grabbing a wr250r today this will be the bike I grab near the end of the season or early fall. Can’t wait.
Nice. You'll probably never miss the extra power you'd have up north of 10k RPM on a 600 supersport.
I agree with you they should have made two versions. I'm not a fan of all the electronic assist stuff and I wouldn't want to pay extra for it. It looks like a fun bike though, maybe I can pick one up used some day in a few years.
Just put in my pre-order, since that's the only possible way of getting an actual good price on this machine. Every dealership out there right now is asking between $13k-$15k and in some cases without even tag, tax, and title. It's insane!
My neighbor literally just got the exact same bike, can confirm it’s amazing
I am head-over-heels in love with this bike but I know I'm still not entirely ready for it (still a new rider, thanks for hooking me on this expensive hobby lol)
Maybe next year I'll have the balls to double my HP
Same i’ve got a 2017 honda cbr500r. Just started riding about 2 weeks ago and have about 400 miles/experience under me. I’ve dropped my bike like 3 times already but it’s nothing im crying over. Except for the last Friday when I slipped on some type of oil/fluid. But it’s definitely an experience I can learn from on a cheaper bike as opposed to going through it on a more expensive bike. Can’t wait to get this in like a year or 2. Stay safe man!
@@anjalogomez6583 Trust me, that is worth it. I have a 2013 CBR500R and dropped it once on my leg (accidentally turned around too slow in the mountains). Didn't cry over it. Worth learning and growing on the 500 and upgrading later!! I spent 5 years on my 500 and am upgrading to the RS 660 now.
Maybe that is a camera aspect skewing the video, but that 60mph looked waaaaay faster than it should have. That 60 on an FJR feels like a crawl. Here it looks like "whoah mr. Kamikaze, slow down before you start knocking off bird nests". Also, check the rear for oil drips. That squeak sounds like a contamination of the rotor with oil. Another possibility is that this bike eats oil and spits it out of the short exhaust, getting some of it on the rotor. Unlikely, since it is brand new, but possible.
My fist and current bike is a CB500f. I've been looking at the 660 Tuono for a second bike and if it is as good as the RS then I am 100% sold
I agree with so many things you said. "People still want full faired sport bikes" : YES! I also wish there was an SP version with top spec suspension, the engine's probably plenty powerful to have fun on the daily.
I have been riding for 15 years. My daily rider is a zx6r. You can't even use the power of a 400cc sport bike legally on the street. Don't spend alot of money just to be cool
My bike is also a ZX-6R and I absolutely love it. It's interesting to see these slightly less powerful sport bikes becoming a thing though.
I paid 7k for a 2015 zx6r with zero miles on it with full factory warranty. Even got store credit for helmet and jacket. Yes some of the bolts and the gas cap lock shows evidence of 5 years in a crate but its a killer way to buy a bike * i bought it last year and put 5k miles on it
I had put a deposit down on a Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer after deciding this was probably too much for my second bike, but on a whim decided to go and test ride it. And it was at that moment that I knew what had to be done.
I pick up the RS 660 on Friday.
So, 2 years later, any ragrets?
In the UK the Triumph Street Triple RS and KTM 890 Duke R are within £200 of the price of this 660 ... both have a fair chunk more power and torque, higher quality suspension and brakes and far more comfortable ergonomics ...
Look at you, finally an aprilia fan boy
Finally
I love the Black/Red and Blue/Red/Black version of this bike.
Yammie, with the different functions, couldn't this be an ideal bike that a new rider grows into? Set the controls to maximum safety (for lack of a better descriptor) and as your skill increases the controls are loosened.
thats what I want to know, I have been riding 6 months on a Honda 650f, this is my dream bike but I don't know if I am ready to move up even though I feel I am ready to move up already
It makes me really happy to see you continuing the bike giveaways. I really hope you’ve helped people get into riding who might not have had the chance otherwise. WE NEED MORE MOTORCYCLES ON THE ROADS!!
Wish you would film more close ups of your bikes ....
I can't wait for a "living with" video where Spite can give us the day to day perspective
You mean where he’ll bitch about Ergos? Lol
@@rougewaffle99 any little parallel twin he’s prob gonna talk about the ergos because of his size. The power is something he won’t be able to talk negatively on tho.
@@rougewaffle99 he’s not allowed to bitch, he had a VFR
I’m dying for this bike 🤘🏼 great content my friend
This bike is reminiscent of the '91 CBR600F2. Lightweight do it all that looks like a race bike.
Definitely purchasing over next summer . Currently learning on a 94 Honda Cbr 600
It seems like bikes that have more than 2x HP to torque are gutless down low, and bikes that have less than 1.75 HP to torque are breathless up top. Gentlemen, I think we've found the middle ground. We should all request bikes like this with Ninja 650 to RS660 ergos, full fairings but not stupid looking like FZ1's due to tall handlebars, and this ratio of power and torque in either 2 or 3 cylinder engines with, honestly, 700-800cc's and a 425-ish pound wet weight including 5-ish gallons of gas because we all like to ride far.
Other than that, near top spec suspension and brakes, and the only electronics I care for are ABS(adjustable at both axles with full off available), and cruise control. If they want to add TC, WC, and maybe throttle response, okay, but if that money could be put towards better baseline parts, or a better chassis, lighter weight, better engine, etc, then I'd prefer the minimal route and have riders control their traction, wheelies, and throttle the old fashioned way.
Oh, lastly, a 1/5 or 1/6 turn throttle. Wringing the wrist full out sucks.
absolutely love my ninja 400 KRT, but I do plan on buying one of these so I hope I fall in love with it as much as I did with my Ninja400.
Rear brake = Italian character 🤣🤣
My man is scaring me on those turns lol
Why aren't we comparing the Ducati V2 and the RS 660? Didn't both manufacturers basically cut their larger displacement counterparts in half?
I love the Acid Gold color. My first bike is a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, so I wanted to break away from the drab look and go full flashy.
Whould you chose this bike over a triumph street triple? Nice videos man👌🏻
5:37 well considering that I managed to wheelie my duke 125 I’d say anything can wheelie if you have the skill to do so.
He rides like a little girl
You must compare This aprilia with Honda CBR650R.....because like you said....honda it is a kind of motorcycle that is simple and don't have a lot of additional electronics like RS...so it is kind of a normal version of Aprilla by Honda :) you know what I'm mean...BEST FROM POLAND :)
Plz talk about and bring awareness to the EPA and the RPM act. It will not only effect cars but motorcycles too!
When’s the review on Tuono 660, when’s the review on RS660 Trofeo?
Those drivers veer to the right not because they don't trust their brakes... it's because they don't trust the driver behind them NOT to rear-end them. We do this in CA as well. Way too many people texting and not paying attention.
Interested to see how this review will compare to the Daytona 660 review in a few months
Love the vids dude keep it up.
“We needed something between a ninja 650 and an r6” what do you call the cbr650r? Stroked out 600 i4 with better low down power, and comfy ergos.... this is a cool bike tho 👍
Or a Street Triple. Or an F800R or Duke 890.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 I was referring to fully faired bikes but good pics 👍
Adjustable suspension, weight, race-readiness, electronics - I can go on
@@yammienoob and how does any of that take away from what I said? It’s a fully faired bike that’s got the comfort of a street bike. The performance similar to a 600 but with more low end power. And still has all the electronics you would need for the street. What about that isn’t a middle ground???
Do you think the rs660 is a ok beginner bike if i have self control and ride dirt bikes?
I have not 1 but 2 R6’s one is all for road use and other is for track. Although i certainly get it on the road more than track. I live close to a track used yearly in moto America among other series. Anyways my point is. There still are people out there that love supersports. I know this cause im one of them. I literally commute on an r6 . And its not “impossible” to enjoy when thats what you have ridden your whole moto life like i have.
Well the frame and swing arm look like they've been taken from the RS250 from 2000 with a twee, .bless u Yammie, you're squidding over that thing like a teenager! Btw You just described any pointy SV 650 from 2002 onwards in terms of handling, stability ergonomics and with a bit of fiddling and a tune to around 90+HP. It is a thing of beauty the Priller. The 250RS was surprisingly comfortable on the day to day too but I was a bit younger back then!
Spite should start introducing himself as Spite F9 :)
So much for the break in period
"Break in periods" doesn't really exist anymore. It's all about heat cycles.
Ari did a video pretty much debunking break ins
Hard break in squad.
He is just using to to get money to support the next bike purchase, so he wont have to deal with the shit that the next owner is going to deal with.
People who think a honda CB300 getting a hard break in is in any way akin to a +100hp engine have 0 idea as to how different a new engine is to one that has been broken in.
@@Surpriseify I wonder if people that ride like that on a new bike that's not theirs or won't be theirs to keep would do the same if it was a bike they purchased and will keep it for themselves. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't yammie do proper break-ins on his previous videos on bikes he bought himself? You see that same thing on other youtube channels as well. I wouldn't want this bike just for the mere thought of what will go wrong later on down the road and will cost me money.
They should of kept the Aprilia RS series 2 stroke but emissions regulations screwed that up! Anyone who ever rode a big 2 stroke knows the powerband feeling.
Thank you for the video. In your comparison video you said this probably is not a beginner bike. Do you still believe it?
I wanna see a comparison of this and a ducati supersport
I love the stock sound of that bike.
This thing screams quality!
just needs an RSV4 now 😍
Yam please make a video on the RPM act
I think the old 600 sport class actually discouraged people from riding.
I LOVE the purple color, I've been hoping for a really good purple colored bike. I would liek to see a Purple / Gray or silver.
What's aprilia like reliability wise? I've heard bad things about the electrics and stuff
Still hoping for a full-fairing kit for the KTM 790, 890, 890R lineup. Best of both worlds.
I just turned 41 on the 9th so I'm "mature" enough to grab this for a first bike eh eh!? 😉 Lol
That's an expensive first bike to drop lol
I've fucked my r3 up a couple times. It was a much better choice than anything else now. I do want one of these, but I would cry if I wrecked it like I wrecked my r3
Honestly I’m obsessed with this bike, it’s literally perfect for me and the type of riding I do. I hope I get it in the give away 😂😂😭
When describing the desire for a lower trim RS660 its sounds like you’re describing more or less the trim spec of a 2023 or 2024 Honda CBR650R.
would you use it as a beginner bike ?
