Have a RS 660 as my daily commute and have also completed 500+ mile in 1 day, not on freeways...great overall bike. The only gripes are 1. fuel tank capacity, could do with an extra gallon. Range limited to 140ml per tank. 2. front suspension is not good with bumps and is quite harsh. Think the high speed damping is limited. Overall a great bike even when sitting at 80mph on cruise control.
OMG noooooo.... let Yammie do the daily vids for sport bikes, and spite do it for cruisers. Spite will always kinda be like, "its okaaaay, or its fiiiiine" just let him do cruisers LOL
I used to live in the appalacians and the wind gust are insane. 30-40+mph gust are common when cresting large hills and riding over deep valleys or gorges on the highway was so scary. First bike was a super light R3 and even at 70-80 mph the gust scared me the most out of everything. Especially with the low weight, narrower tires and weaker suspension. You lose any traction and it feels like the wind wants to pick you up and throw you across lanes. What makes it even worse is half the highways are quilted with uneven patchwork and they are eternally doing highway maintenance but nothing ever seems to getting done. They will just scrape 4+ inches of the asphault off and leave it as an uneven road for what seems to be forever. If you have ever done a lane change at 70+ mph going up a 4 inch depth difference between the lanes with no bevel, (like hitting a curb almost) while getting smacked by a 30mph gust hits you perpendicularly on a highway overpass liteed with gravel, riding a kite of a bike in construction traffic with semis haulin ass next to you, you basically write your will in your head hoping for the best.
i rode the r7 this weekend and what u are saying about the rs660 is alot of what i felt about the r7. Mirrors are better on the r7. The riding position was a good compromise from r6 and mt07. It definitely was a pain in the back but you could definitely get used to it. The handling was amazing and the brakes felt great. The motor doesnt give you the instant mt07 torque though. more sport bike-ish delivery
Changing your settings takes 5min at most. You only have 1 user setting for each road or race. Plus once its set you can change your rode modes with 1 button even while riding.
I have 3 bikes and 1 of them have an aggressive position, and it use to make me tired very quickly, my back and my hands especially... but then your body will get use to it, now i can do a lot of hours on it without stopping. But any type of bike, your body have to get use to it, and it will!
I do not like riding for hours on the highway... the wind is very scary. I don't mind being on the RS 660 for hours on end otherwise, coastal and mountain roads and highways are the best. As far as city driving, it is not bad at all. Very comfortable even on long highway rides.
Spite your improv skills are legit. This was informative for sure but very funny and relatable. Wind gusts etc. Bike as a “Submersible “ Enjoy Yammie Noob for information and sense of humor you all have. Whitney too!
I never comment on videos but I had to on this one. I only got here because at the end of the last video Yammie kept saying "Keep watching Yammie Noob" and I genuinely was laughing my ... off and I just had to click on the video and comment.
Test rode the Tuono 660 and the thought of how nice it was lingers in the back of my mind from time to time. So easy to ride, it inspires a LOT of confidence. The front end is super sharp.
Here in the uk you can ride a bike at like 10° and the bike just goes straight cause of the wind blowing you back 😂😂 you just have to counter steer into the wind

Y’all should do one with the last ninja 636. I believe it to be the best bike on the market. Comfortable, 12 riding modes, speed shifter, sick design, those extra horses, 10k affordable. They won’t make me any more unfortunately after 2021.

Yammie- what do you think about the 35kw version as a first bike then upgrading it to full spec with the software update once I get comfortable with it.
Very inspirational, you riding a sports bike in the rain and talking while doing it, good stuff but I would like to know in such bikes is the engine really that good or is it the micro controller that good?
if you had to ride through that storm, or at least ride through the first 20 min of it, would you hope it would be on rs660 over the ninja zx6r or gsxr 600 or r7 or ninja zx4rr if you were on a sports bike?
My RS 660 has been in the shop for 6 weeks because of the check engine light. My service center told me that they need to order new shims, o-rings and gaskets from Italy and the parts were stuck at the custom. This is too much.
Are you sure its not you how push the bars, and holding on to hard? You should barely or not at all hold the bars when its hard wind. The bike is made to handle wind. But it's almost impossible to not do it.
What bike is Papa Yamms standing by at the end of the video. Nice job on the video Spite! (I thought forever it was Spike but okay? sorry)I need to take the advice to not make too much of your first bike because I want one of everything.

@@novemsol Thanks did the show it or is that an educated guess because you like that bike? Either way it looks cool and your reply is highlighted. So good guess.
Never had any real issues with mine that check engine light might be fixed with software update (my dealership told me they release them quite frequently because it's new). Rear brake works fine but mine also started making the same noise 😂
The brake noise probably is because of the twin piston callipers on the rear brake as opposed to mostly a single piston on the rear brake disc, it’s a known issue with motorcycles having twin piston rear brakes, however not common, maybe a brake pad issue
Yo Yammie. Love your shows. Idk how many videos of yours I've watched. Seeing you come back from that sick accident helped get me back on 2 wheels. Couple things man...indoor lighting and sound...kick it up a notch will ya? Also, not sure what's up with Spite but the last couple videos seemed forced. Your chemistry has taken a hit or something. Hey...im just a guy with some stupid feedback. Keep up the hard work and hey Spite..let's see some enthusiasm
I had cbr650f (not 650r but still) and now have rs660. RS660 is lighter, sportier and more premium. CBR650F is more comfortable and feels better below 4k rpm.
600s are generally high torque machines with aggressive ergonomics and more high end power, great for track riding. 650s are more relaxed, smooth torque curve and usable power generally for the streets. 600s are definitely the most crazy bikes after liter bikes, mainly cuz of the crazy torque and high revving capabilities of the engine
I like everything about it except the recall has me worried about reliability and the fact that dealers are nowhere near me. Kinda of ironic, but the closest dealer to me is Ducati. I know it's another step up, but a comparo with the V2 would be interesting. Both Italian twins that are good on road and track
@@foo8786 You can restrict bikes with up to 96hp to 48hp to drive them with the A2 license. Then after 2 years (when you get the full license) you can let the dealership revert the change and use the full power. The RS660 has 100hp stock, but Aprilia offers an A2 version with ~95hp.
