About time, I was ready to be dishing out warnings!! 

 

[Tiggie]

Black & red looks nicer though nothing really stands out about it. Very generic sports bike looking .

 

I do like the swingarm though 

 

 

[Stu]

Doesn't look like ohlins front and rear or merchasini wheels! Does that mean room for improvement with another model

[Tiggie]

They will be optional (expensive) extras!

Aprillia normally do a factory model with it all on 

[Tiggie]

Of course, forgot about the factory versions.

 

Here's a review for anyone wanting a look at the specs.  https://www-motorcyclenews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.motorcyclenews.com/amp/bike-reviews/aprilia/rs660/2020/?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQHKAFQArABIA%3D%3D#aoh=16068631071276&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorcyclenews.com%2Fbike-reviews%2Faprilia%2Frs660%2F2020%2F

I want to know what's going on at the back of the seat?  First thought was a Pillion on that will have to have a strange shape arse...

Then noticed no Pillion Pegs. All a bit weird..

[skyrider]

what make of motor is in it ?

[geofferz]

Underpowered at 99bhp, overpriced at 10k underspecc'd. 

 

Hard pass. 

[learningtofly]

Have to agree, that colour scheme is an abomination.

Why is it underpowered? I think it's a little difficult to say that unless you've ridden it.

As far as I can tell (from the 44teeth video) it is a twin and more a competitor for the Ninja 650 etc., although it's substantially more powerful. It isn't meant to be a super sports.

99bhp will feel slow to me - I don't need to ride it.

Sure, to you perhaps. That doesn't mean the bike is underpowered though.

Reckon the colour could grow on me. Certainly  no excuse for not being seen!

[bonio]

If that colour grew on me I'd be taking a hasty trip to the doctors.

[Stu]

I think I would have to see it in the flesh to finally say no it looks shite in that colour

[MikeHorton]

Did they just dig the wheels out of a parts bin? Change the colour of the wheels and may work then
