Iv been riding for 40 years and your crazy if think it dont matter experience is everything .

Is the ninja 650 really a slouch it’s acceleration times look good I was thinking of buying it. do you have any other suggestions for around the same price?

My understanding is that you go to the market and buy the heaviest and most powerful bike, drop it, then get scared and never ride again 😂

You can wreck yourself on any cc bike. What even is a beginner bike? You are buying a bike and are 100% expecting to grow out of it? If thats the case, just get a litre bike now and keep it, when youve grown into it. For Everybody else, who doesnt care about identifying themselves with whatever demographic: Get a bike that fits your body size, regardless of experience. Edit for toxicity: Is this your first bike and are you now claiming to be an expert giving advice to youngones? Are you currently riding your beginner bike?

why do you ride the bike in track mode when individual is also adjustable?

Having a liter bike for the majority of your first few months of riding and claiming success just because you're still here and haven't crashed is not a good metric of success. Sure you can go to work and back and ride around town, but you should learn and become very proficient with emergency braking, counter steering, braking mid corner, trail braking, and throttle control. Learning those on a liter bike is way harder and you're just going to fall behind on skill level by getting a liter bike early on. All bikes can perform well on the street and track, a beginner does not have nearly enough skill to outride any motorcycle. Buy a used motorcycle about 50hp or less and not too heavy. The only difference is top speed and acceleration, most bikes have very similar mid corner speed, depends on the riders skill level. Pro riders pass liter bikes on ninja 400s in the corners. Get a small, light, affordable bike and work on the fundamentals. Way safer and more fun that way

Great video! What you said about judge a bike only looking a few videos is wrong, that's totally true. I have exactly RS660 as you, but limited to 47cv(European new drivers restriction) with 4.000 km and any complain about it. If it was by following videos or memes nobody should buy an Italian motorbike haha

Man, the stories with the GoPro! I’ve got hours of bad footage that I can’t upload to TH-cam! Love my RS660! Great video!

I got a new 2022 model last fall. 13,000 km and 10 track days later, I have had no issues. Anyone complaining about the brakes just has a problem on their bike (probably just need to bleed the lines), because in general they are good. I've had no brake fade during 30 min sessions on track where my tires are literally melting and I do a lot of passing by out-braking other riders. The bike handles extremely well and is a complete riot on the road or track.

As a dyna bro buy a Simpson helmet to look cool and lose your hearing at the same time 😂😂

I’m an old school kind of guy. Where I push the throttle and it goes I was super interested in this bike and the R7 till this bike had all this tech stuff but that’s just me 😂😂 fucking sexy bike

Thanks mate, won’t be buying this one

Looking for my first bike I’m 6’4 198 pounds looking for my first bike don’t really want 300-400cc since I’m taller would I fit good on the rs660 or touno 660 don’t know what to get I’m also looking at r7 and ninja 650 and gxsr8r

Good tip ! Do you also add throttle while the clutch is in the friction zone or was it just purely clutch ?

just got mine in September fun fast little bike

Good video..I'm looking at a tuono 660 factory.. I'm 6ft1 , my main concern is size. But for a all around bike the 660 platform is the best

Yo man where is your Rs660? I’m thinking about change my mt09 2024 which is beautiful bike overall but ugly, rs660 pretty and I’m thinking between rs660 and zx6r and of course scared of rs660 reliability, cause I’m riding a looot

I love this motorcycle so much even though I haven't driven any motorcycles above 40 Hp. It's a perfect machine. Enough HP massive tech and style ❤

im mad that you say "pulled the trigger" it sounds weird. Good Short tho

New 1,100? More like 11,000! 🤣🤣

New 1,100? More like 11,000! 🤣🤣

You think I can make it from new York to Orlando Florida

No issues with mine, bunch of salty folks out there parroting something they read.

YOUR BIKE LOOKS SO SILKY SMOOOOOOTH CONGRATS you made my mind to get an Aprillia .

Beautiful bike. Nice color scheme. If you dont mind me asking, what was the dmg all said and done? 13?

Does the seat cover come with those winglets on the bottom now too? I know the stock actual seat has them but anytime I’ve seen someone replace the back seat with the cover with the 2 vertical fins it loses the 2 lower ones. I like what you have on there now

I started having more oil consumption past 20,000kms. She's eating about 200-300ml/1000km now. Had to top up 500ml to get a midpoint reading on the dipstick after 2000kms since my last oil change (Made sure the bike was level and oil temp high). My mechanic seems to think the consumption is abnormal, but I got an email back from the local Aprilia dealer saying 200ml/1000kms is "in spec". I saw one forum where apparently Gabro said it's a common issue with 660 engines that weren't broken in hard enough, which adds up since I got this one secondhand with the first service done. I was lucky I got an early booking for my 30,000km service because I didn't think it was eating oil that fast. I initially thought I just couldn't get a good read on the dipstick, but turned out there was only 500ml of oil left in the bike when they emptied it during service. Now I'm checking the oil every 1000kms and topping up when the dipstick reads the low bar. The price of Italian machines 🤌

Easy i will learn this on a Busa

Got a 2023 RS660 and never had any issues… I even bought it knowing about earlier model issues but someone in the know told me that newer models had improved. 7000 miles in and it seems they were right.

Just know if you're in the passing lane, you better be passing. Because people like me do cruise at 100+ and come up on you... then i gotta pass on the right... it's going to be spicy.

Definitely your target audience for this. Last lesson didn’t go well with the clutch control, next lesson‘s on Monday and I don’t remember the last time I was this nervous

love the vid brother, im scared of the highway

I like the yellow color too!

Which tidy kit did you use ?

If you send Gabro your dyno file he can make a custom tune and upload it to your UpMap profile for free. I've spoken to him a few times on Instagram and he's very kind and helpful. He might even upload that file in the database for others as well.

yo that rs660 sounds MEAN. best sounding bike in the 600cc range imo

If you want a supermoto, buy a 698 Mono. I have both, Hypermotard SP and an RVE. The 698 is perfect.

Doesnt getting an exhaust void warranty?

I ordered one brand new and never had a single issue with it. The know issues you state in your video were in the early models 2020-2021.

This was a top contender for me, but not a lot of Aprilia dealerships around. This is definitely one of the best if not the best in the twin 650 class, while the ninja 650 sits at the bottom with its dated engine. I went with a 4RR which was $10k before tax otd and 18 less hp at ~72. Now I wonder what a torquey twin feels like... especially since I started wheelie training on a torqueless inline 4 lol

Good job bro!

It sounds nasty! You're young, I'm old and I learned that a lot of money can be squandered buying stuff lol. One of the reasons I chose the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S is because it was pretty much good to go right out of the box. I just had to add a few protective items.

Glad that I found your channel.

You're doing well. A liter bike is good if you have some good sense. I just purchased my last bike and it is a Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S, and I'm enjoying it!

When done right, it is an expensive hobby. I'm 64 and it helps keep me going.

Uhmm

Zay get a damn exhaust now 😡🫵🏿

Didn’t realize the background music wasn’t there loo

I picked up my RS660 EXTREMA in June and it's such an easy bike to ride !!! True, it doesn't have massive power, but OMG is it ever fun !!! Anyways, great review and have fun !!! 👍
