I got my RS660 for $8,044.37 at 1 year old. For that price there is absolutely no way I would buy the 8R or the daytona. But if I was buying new, I could understand why people would get the 8R. The daytona dash is way too outdated for me personally.
Great to see some local content and comparisons. I test rode 2 of the three, missing out on the Triumph...for now. That Italian is a special 'little' bike, especially if you are looking to spend time on the track.
I have 8r in yellow. I love it for what it is. I would go Aprilia route, but quite concerned that it'd spend more time in the garage than on road. I wanna keep mine atleast for 5 years.
I have 2x 660 since 2020 and zero point zero issues! But don’t change exhaust without mapping. I have 1000x more fun whit this bikes than the heavy 8R (Naked bike with Farring) it is too heavy and no emotion 🫥 Aprilia optic is 😍 and the sound ❤️ Is is light and easy to drive.
I mean Aprillia Launched the RS660 with a known to them major engine issue. It's not that I don't trust the reliability of the bike itself (although it does tend to score low in consumer reliability reporting), it's that I don't trust the integrity of the brand to sort it out when it does go wrong.
Really like the way you compared these 3 bikes especially in terms of lams riders transitioning to their full. I'm currently on my restricted so this is helpful
Dude you knocked it out the park, I loved this format. And thanks for the comparison. I have a 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 and love the triple but find it a bit heavy for my average 5 ft 9 frame...but been wanting to get on a test ride with the Daytona 660... I was just concerned with front end weird handling and no feedback complaints at launch... But maybe they have worked it out. Greetings from North Carolina.
RS660 is an amazing bike and probably the best bike in the segment. I got one an year back and have put around 8000km up till now. There were some issues with the bike early on which kind of ruined the whole experience for me but they got sorted out thanks to the good service. Other than that it's am amazing bike.
you have to learn how to use QS any bike. It is worth to use very small amount of the throttle to make it way more smoth. Overall QS at the 2 cylinder engines is rough. At the inline 4 is way smother.
Thank you! Super helpful comparison. I've been benchmarking every bike against the rs660. Love the spec but don't trust the machine especially at the price. Already seemed promising so gsx8r for me 🤙
Even my heart goes to RS660 I've bought 8R. More comfortable, more reliable, you have mirrors, engine is not too hot, tourque from bottom, you can maintain it by yourself... 8R biggest con is lack of this italian something:) RS660 is best second bike:)
Wanted the Suzuki 8R's riding position, but Aprilia's looks, sound, and bling factor.. So i bought a Tuono 660 lol But honestly that Suzuki's engine is a peach from what I've heard. Proper sport touring middlwweight bike.
@@captain_midlife I've just seen one in the new matt orange colour. It really looks awesome, maybe even better than the red or yellow of the rs but that's just my opinion.
Good review covering all the Bikes. For reliability, parts, dealer network, the Suzuki for sure, the Triumph just needs more, better brakes, less budget looks, better TFT, the Aprilia good I'm sure, but with sketchy reliability, Garbage Dealer network, and did I mention reliability ??
Ciao, Ho una MT09 e sono alla ricerca di una moto carenata: pensi che passare da una mt09 ad una suzuki o una Aprilia sia un grande passo indietro? La Mt09 va molto bene e spinge sempre....
You’re not noticing the power because you aren’t revving the bikes out and the Suzuki has a much larger engine so will have a stronger bottom end and midrange
I hate with the triumph that you have all of that space in the cockpit where you can see the road with the Suzuki and the Aprilla you don’t have none of that. Just makes it feel like the triumph is way more budget than the other two bikes.
While I like alu style triple clamp on the RS 660 the GSX has super cool modern looking cockpit. The Triumph definitely feels like a bit of let down in this department, but it's built to a price and have invested a lot in buffing that engine over the Tiger and Trident.
@@101BadBreath I agree. Here in the US the triumph is slightly more then the gsx8r. I’m a huge triumph fan, I just feel this Daytona 660 was a huge let down.
@@Bluecollarguy87 I don't feel like it's a huge let down, I just feel like they had other priorities than the cockpit experience, we as consumers end up with more choice and that's a win for us - 2022 R7 60th Anniversary and 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 owner.
The Triumph feels like a girls bike. Not trying to throw shade on any guys that have one, but it seems more setup for smaller riders who like the Triumph brand. So his and hers Triumphs would be a 765 and a 660.
To be fair the Daytona is a parts bin special, having said that I always like the Suzuki, I think however it could be come very bland very quickly. I'd have to choose the rs660, the street cred alone is worth the extra money
Is it? Modified frame yes, very heavily modified engine, completely new bodywork. You could level the same criticism of the Suzuki and the Aprilia for that matter. That Aprilia engine is used multiple times, Piaggio switchgear used on multiple bikes, dash etc. All of these manufacturers have to maximize the use of common components to keep the price down. Chinese competitors knocking on their doors! 😅
Panigale and RS660 are 2 completely different bikes with absolutely nothing in common. If you are looking to buy a bike like a Panigale, RS660 is not on your radar and vice versa.
these 3 bikes are dog 💩 a ten year old supersport 600 is literally better in every single way apart from the dash not to mention parrallel twins are horrible engines

You made a good choice. My buddy just bought a new 457 and within a month already has an oil leak. They're overpriced.

I wouldn’t say it’s the best handling bike but it’s fine for light to moderate riding
8r easy choice for me

Because 8R have very strong low and mid range. The top end is the weak part. That is why when you drive without reving it hard it feels strong.
I test rode the Suzuki, really liked it, but found the quick shifter was rough on down shifts.

Fantastic review, enjoyed that

Just got rs660 in Hamilton, I love it…..
I like all three of these great bikes, I ended up with an acid RS660.
No regrets yet. If I had to replace it, i'd step up to a panigale v2.
Loved the video but you had to put the rs660 in individual map, it’s the more agressive map.
Great work mate
Rs660 for me from a sports bike pov
Suzuki has more bottom end torque….thats why it feels as quick as the aprilia
Yeah feels like it
Great video but for 17k plus orc you can get a street triple 765r at the moment.
I'd rather that I think
I would too
@@captain_midlife I've just seen one in the new matt orange colour.

The aprilia seems to ride on the road really nice.

i think the history of aprilia hurts the RS660
i’ve had mine for a while now and literally never missed a beat
Insurance on the Daytona is much higher while the rs insurance is very cheap in America
Ciao, Ho una MT09 e sono alla ricerca di una moto carenata: pensi che passare da una mt09 ad una suzuki o una Aprilia sia un grande passo indietro? La Mt09 va molto bene e spinge sempre....
All 3 of these bikes feel noticeably slower than my MT09. By quite a bit
i respect all these 3 bikes, but i prefer Suzuki GSXR8R most
Is it worth going for the daytona when the speed triple 765 is a tad bit more?
Simply depends what you want from it.
@@101BadBreath true that
I’d be buying the 765 but yeah totally different style bike
There’s a new Triumph 800 sport coming now. Cruise control too
Pretty hard to include the Aprilia, but it's not in the same class. Considering the price, it's in a class of its own.
It’s more the Aprilia VS the others and if the extra money is worth it
@@captain_midlife Can't argue with that. If we had a dealer less than 3 hrs. a way, it would probably be what I would get.

@@101BadBreath just for a $1200 more you can get a new MT09 with all that is has standard.
WTF bros selling an RS660 at a 7600 dollar markup what a damn scam of a dealership lol
All good but don't use such wide angle camera. No pleasure to watch in such wide angle view
The Triumph feels like a girls bike.

ONE REAL RS 660

What does the phrase parts bin mean?
Like they have taken parts from all the other bikes to make a new one
@@captain_midlife ohh gotcha thanks a ton
I bought the Daytona, because let's be honest, parallel twins sound like shit.
To you maybe they do. Each to their own
Let's be real here for 20k you can buy a mint panigale V2. Why would anyone buy a dogshit parallel twin Aprilia.
I’m guessing someone that prefers an Aprilia over a Ducati. Each to their own
Panigale and RS660 are 2 completely different bikes with absolutely nothing in common. If you are looking to buy a bike like a Panigale, RS660 is not on your radar and vice versa.
Because reliability has never been created in Italy. Try Japan.
Your probability mistaken Australian dollars and American dollars. The Aprillia is 11k US and the V2 20k US
This kinda of bro culture is ridiculous
these 3 bikes are dog 💩 a ten year old supersport 600 is literally better in every single way apart from the dash not to mention parrallel twins are horrible engines
I mean that’s just factually wrong.
These are made for riding on the road. A supersport bike is crap for everyday riding. Which is what almost everyone does.
