  • Dave loves a good Aprilia, he also loves race bikes. So McCrums Motorcycles sent him an Aprilia RS660 road bike to convert into race trim.
    They did leave the number plate on it so Dave decided it should really get a road test, and then a track test too!
    Does Dave like the little Aprilia? and what's it like compared to his Supertwin race bike? Only one way to find out, come join the ride.

    I was half expecting the dash screen inform "Insert Coins" ;)
    Nice bit of review. Also Aprilia Pole Position.

    This and the tuono 660 deserve to be a success.
    Loving the return of regianni colours!

    As soon as this cheeky wee beastie came out - I couldn't wait to see somebody preparing it as a track-only (Super)twin. Et Voila: Wavey Dave's on the case! Lovely stuff. 😎

    Nice bike. But it wants to go fast..... too fast for the road. Great fun indeed. (That blipper 🥳) I almost bought one, but couldn't bring myself to part ways with my Tuono V4r. 🤷‍♂️

    Look up Gabro in Italy They are doing some amazing things with the 660.

    So Dave, how is the comparison of the RS660 vs the 748. I know lots of days between those 2 but still....

    • @obsession_engineering
      @obsession_engineering  3 года назад +1

      The RS is much easier to ride, thoroughly modern in comparison. The 748 feels like a bit more of an event, takes more effort but still great to ride. The RS is faster in the real world as it's much easier to access the performance

    Hi - I’m prepping my RS for track. In Poland we have verry low dB limits on trackdays… how much noise does the akrapovic racing exhaust make? 🤣 for now I’m Leasing the standard exhaust, but considering it in the future

    • @obsession_engineering
      @obsession_engineering  3 года назад

      It easily passed our 105db tests but I didn't actually check what the noise level was, sorry

    Great video as always. If a local bloke wanted to come down to buy some Motul Oil would that be okay?

    Lovely work!
    Will the TT’s 11krpm Rev limit effect these too much given they make peak power around 10900rpm?

    • @obsession_engineering
      @obsession_engineering  3 года назад

      I'm hoping they'll tweak the regs. If they let the mt07 bore throttle bodies it'd let them be more competitive too

    I wonder what the 660 will make on a full after market exhaust with a tune 🤔 already at the high end of a super twin stock 👀

    • @obsession_engineering
      @obsession_engineering  3 года назад

      The Akra on this bike is the full system, with some tuning to the fuelling and some forced air it'd be late 90's I think
