Great bike! I recently bought Tuono 660 Factory 2022, so easy to ride and plenty of power. I have been trough R6, GSXR600 (750), GSX-S750 and S1000R. Great bikes but I personally feel that the Aprilia is just more flickable and more fun to ride.
Congratulations on your new bike!
I love the aprilia rs660, cannot wait to afford to finance it in the spring for myself
Sit on it before you buy! Also it’ll be cheaper right now in the winter!
Did you buy it?
Doood...... is that the new 10 foot windscreen? Ooooh wee!
Great way to start the awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Mid-range power in the rev range may be mostly unrelated to why 3rd-5th gear are fun.
You got an aprilia in april. What a coincidence! Lol
I currently ride a Ninja 400 ABS and love the idea of the RS 660. My biggest fear though is that it wont feel like a big enough jump in power. I doubt that would be the case but i love the fact that everyone speaks to how comfortable it is and has great power for the street which i primarily ride with aspirations of hitting the track one day. Im not much of a fan of the R6 riding ergos and honestly want something a little more unique. To hear you started on this makes me feel like its power that anyone can handle and i want something that feels like you HAVE to get on after a season or 2 of riding just to make sure its a true bump up and something i can grow into and not be ready for something else a few month later.
You won’t regret it. I love it.
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 is it punchy I want something with some torque I don’t really care about top end speed. It’s a great looking bike and I love all the features.
@@jeromelloydsr4491 it has tremendous torque gears 3-5
I started on the RS 660 6 months ago, but I wouldn't recommended it for most people. It's twice the power and torque of the Ninja 400, so unless highway pulls to 186 mph is what you are looking for, it should keep you entertained for a long time.
LOL it's only slightly heavier and is DOUBLE the power + premium brakes, suspension and etc
You can't out ride this bike.
There is no haggling on new bikes but MS is notorious for adding thief fees, $1000 assembly, $1000 delivery, $1000 mark up….if you’re lucky
Malcom Smith also has the worst service department in the country. You would be committing suicide for your bike by taking it there
Great video and thanks for the recommendation on the exhaust. I'm thinking about changing out the stock one on my flying banana 😂 Also I've heard conflicting views on your mirrors so would be interested in your opinion. Again mine are stock and they vibrate above 6k revs. I'd love to be riding in California right now rather than in rainy England 😢
Rizoma mirrors are more for looks and the “no vibration” than safety. You will barely be able to see out of them. Especially on the throttle side. But think its worth it for the looks. I don’t like the big plastic looking OEM ones. Consider getting the bar end mirrors. They look good too and you can see out of them. Thanks for watching
love the video trying to buy a rs660 my self rn
You won’t regret it. Thanks for watching
Might have to ride with you one day bro. Saw your comment on my friends channel about getting the rs660 together. Nice review btw
Thanks man, definitely like to get the rs 660s together
Your quick work so good,mine doesn’t wanna go down When I go slow ? In what map you riding ?
Got a red lava since 3 months im gonna by this exhaust for suuuuure Whats a sound
Nice!
I'd absolutely love to buy this bike as my first here in the UK but I literally can't get insurance for it. No company will insure me flat out. It's still looking like £1.7k for a 280cc... So sad but probably better in the long run (is what I keep telling myself)
Man that sucks, although insurance in the U.S. is very high too. Thank you for subscribing!
Did you get it insured? I'm in the UK and went with MCE for the 1st 15 months because they went into receivership after 3 but they switched to another trading company for the same price. After that I went to Bennett's
Have you had any issues with the reliability because I love the bike.
No issues other than a squeaky rear brake at times.
Give it time. It’ll happen
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 Hello mate . Did you has problems until now in this 9 months ? How many kilometres you done? And how much maintenance cost? Thank you mate!
Thinking about getting this to replace my fz07 because of the electronics and wind protection, thoughts on the wind protection, reliability, and comfort?
It’s a very fun bike. Worth every penny. It’s very comfortable. Definitely upgrade the windscreen to get more protection
Is it the sc1r exhaust ? or crt? Cat ? DB killer?
Full system, no DB
Hey, im looking for a new exhaust for my rs660. This sounds really nice! Is this with or without cat / db eater? The Akra system sounds different, but isnt louder than the stock exhaust. I need a louder street legal exhaust with cat and db eater :( happy new year
Definitely go with the SC. It goes perfect with the RS 660. Sounds perfect. It’s loud enough for people to hear you coming but not obnoxious. Plus the downshifting sound is amazing. I don’t have the cat in
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 But the DB-killer is in? Without the cat and probably the db eater it is much louder. When both are in, the sound is gone. I dont want to invest so much money in an exhaust that is - if even - just a little louder. In my country i have to have the cat and db-killer. The Acra without killer and cat sound loud and nice aswell, but with it in, it is as loud as the stock. The sound is just a little deeper. Doesnt matter, if you dont hear it tho ...
@@Gigldog sorry, I meant I don’t have the db killer. Mis typed
If you are in europe I dont think sc is street homologated
QD Exhaust is the best ❤
What tune are you running with the sc project
Looking to get one as my first bike. I got my Ktm 450FE from Malcom Motorsports as well so hopefully they got more Aprilia in stock. Did you know if adding a full exhaust will void the warranty?
No it did not
Did you get it man?
How are the rizoma mirrors? Oem shakes like hell above 5000 rpm. Read that the stealth mirrors are More useless? Maybe the rizoma veloce sport are better
Barely can see out of them, they are just for looks. I am going to get bar end mirrors and the block offs
what is your frequency of oil change? how do you like those mirrors?
I did my first oil change at my 600 mile service. I love the Rizoma mirrors. But you can't see much out of them. They are small and narrow, but they look much better than the OEM ones. Thanks for watching.
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 thank you for the reply! I assume you haven't gotten to the next oil change yet? do you know if you can install blinkers under the mirrors (inbetween the fairing and the mirror attachment point?)
i drive like a maniac so after break in period, i usually change about every 3,5k miles. I did a combined of about 35k miles on 2 separate bikes.
Seems like this bike is a no brainer, a fine steed indeed
@@jankracik4956 yes, 3-5k miles is good to change the oil. There are some places that can install blinkers for you. If you are in SoCal, Motoclub Santa Monica does them. There’s also a race map where the blinkers can be inside the headlights…for a cost
Thinking about the same exhaust. Did you get a tune done for it? Or stock ecu works OK? Thanks.
No tune. Stock works fine.
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 nice one. I might buy this as well to be on the safe side www.af1racing.com/af1-racing-race-ecu-for-rs660-af1-mm11mp-race
Is this the Original exhaust?
No after market SC Project full
do you have a db killer for the system? i know california has the noise laws and im about to move to california so i was very concerned about it and getting a ticket
No I don’t. The only cities that are strict are the beach ones, especially Newport, Huntington, and Laguna
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 I used to live in those parts so I’m glad to know that’s typically the case. I’ll be in a different area this time more in central California so i appreciate the update
You dont think this is too powerful to start with?
No, it’s a perfect beginner bike
Ideally you start on a 250/300cc bike, but each to their own.
A lot of people have issues with the Ape but every brand has issues.
Does your sc project have the baffle in or has it been remove?
Removed. Thanks for watching. Watch out for my one year review coming out soon
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 Nice, and is that the race model or the street legal model? I’ll Sub to you since I love watching RS 660 content. Thank you for making them!
@@rexile1986 one version. Different mapping for street and race. Thanks for subscribing!
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought on the sc project website there are two version of this exhaust, the street legal with a small cat attach to it and the racing version without the cat
@@rexile1986 I have the full exhaust racing
👎👎👎Riders be aware! My rs660 started leaking oil since first couple weeks and it’s been down a the dealership for about 2 months now!! Called aprilia and they don’t seem to want to do anything about it! I have no idea what’s going on!!
👎👎👎 #rs660 #aprilia
If you just bought it, it has its warranty. In socal, we had a dedicated Aprilia rep. He was awesome. If they don’t fix it, take it back. Especially after just two weeks
Same with mine!
I recently had 3 leaks! You were right. BEWARE!
@@mr.stickyfingers3189 might as well wait for the next production, i love this bike but the problem seems serious, i hope in the next production there is nothing like this. in my country, aprilia has bad after sales service and that makes me worrry
@@mohdnazmi9168 the next production bikes are already being sold and from what I have heard, less or no problems. I recently ordered some parts from Aprilia and they shipped same day and I expect to get them on 8-10 days. We’ll see.
