Awesome video really enjoyed it. WOW! What a fantastic bike, just love the way it looks and sounds. Very sensible riding from you as well. I like your style; I’m going to keep an eye on your channel. Looking forward to more great content. Cheers.
Cool video, you got some great shots of the mountain tops. God’s creation is amazing, be safe out there on the roads brother. I’ll stay tuned for more vids.
Just for my extreme 3 months ago absolutely love it can't wait to start my vlog... I live in hawaii. Have done many upgrades cant wait to show bike is amazing. Thank you for finally doing a good video on it...
Finally a high quality video of the extrema, very nice! What can you say about the SC-Project? Is it a big upgrade compared to the stock exhaust? Can you hear a noticable difference when riding?
Thanks man! Yeah, so at the dealership I had them start up both bikes side by side to compare. They rev'd them both up and there is a big differnce in sound. The stock one is a whisper compared to this. I love the shift pop at certin RPMs that just sounds high-performance. And the downshift crackle is nice. That being said, it could be a little louder in my opinion when you factor in helmet, ear plugs, and wind noise. But im sure thats all they could get away with, with sound regulations. I like exhaust that is quiet when cruising and comes alive when you open it up, so this is great for me
I have an extrema. The exhaust looks amazing looks an aftermarket.. however it does have a cat.. just smaller built into pipe rather than big ugly heavy box. I've done a few upgrades and it sounds way better than the regular 660 even though the exhaust is still stock
@@camp______classified14 what are the modifications you have made, if you don’t mind sharing. I’m curious because you said it made difference but you have changed the exhaust?
Great Bike! I have the RS660 Extrema as well. I want to get a deeper growl out of the exhaust so I'm not sure if I can gut the bafflers out or if I need to replace it with something else.
@@1dnr749 I took mine to a shop here in LA. If you pop all of the rivets off of the cone and carefully remove it (don't undo the packing) you can get to where the baffle is welded into the homologated exhaust. If you cut that weld you can remove th baffle and re-rivet the cone back on.
Thanks man! It's actually my snowboarding backpack. I thought about getting a streetbike specific one, but it works great for me. It's a Dakine Heli Pro 24L
I love it! It does exactly what you want it to do. feels light and so stable. I really like the tuono's too. It was a toss up. For me, looks and sound are also a factor and that's what pushed me to this bike. Also, the tuono's riding position feels similar to a dirt bike with the straight bars and I thought it would put me in that mentality. I automatically go elbows up high, dirt bike style so I wanted the sport bike bars to get me into the correct body position more. Street technique is so opposite from dirt and I don't want to forget what I'm on. But i would say the tuono is probably more comfortable on longer rides. Yes, I plan on making this my daily once I feel like I'm one with the bike. To me its the best of both worlds. Like a track bike that is comfortable on the street. I was surprised at how good the suspension is. I figured it would be more harsh because it looks so agressive but its really nice in my opinion. Hope that helps
This is what I said to someone that asked the same question... First ever motorcycle I would say no. It's just an aggressive body position and not the best for getting comfortable with the basics. Something more upright would be better for a first. And might be a little intimidating too. If this is your first sport bike and you've mastered the basics then I would say yes. It has a lot of technology to keep you pretty safe, with all the traction and wheelie control features. At the end of the day, the bike is still really fast and you can get yourself into trouble quickly if you don't know what you're doing. Hope that helps. I thought more about this and I would also say this bike is not easiest to ride at low speed. Like tight parking lot maneuvering. It doesn't have a good turning radius and I can imagine a new rider dropping it. (that would suck). Once you get up to speed, its a differnt story. Get something comfortable that wont scare you, then when your ready, take another look at this bike.
It's actually not the mirrors.. I thought man these mirrors suck. But it's not road vibration. Its actually engine vibration at certain RPMs. It's from the parallel twin. One day I clicked it into 5th and at a low RPM and the mirrors cleared right up. Crystal clear at like 90 +. Under power they go blurry but if you pull in the clutch goes right back to clear. This tells me it would be the same with any mirrors. My research kind of confirms that. Parallel twins are known for vibration. That being said you can't feel any vibration in your hands at all, or anywhere. Feels super smooth. I'm used to it now and I just click it up a gear when I'm trying to see details behind me. Hope that helps.

Everyone seems to have the SC project exhaust with the cat removed
@@Cam_Wight I need to know how to get that sucker out!

Hey Man, just found your channel! Great footage, what’s your camera set up??
Thanks! For this video it its a Gopro 8, Super view, at 24 fps. My newer videos have a new setup. Settings are in the comments of those.
I’ve the same bike, is awesome! What GoPro mount do you use on the left mirror? Thanks ✌️
Nice! I use the rounded helmet style sticky mount at an angle. It works well with the curve of the mirror
Man! What awesome views, I'm jealous. What backpack are you using?
Thanks man! It's actually my snowboarding backpack. I thought about getting a streetbike specific one, but it works great for me. It's a Dakine Heli Pro 24L
Do you love the bike ? What’s your thoughts on tuano 6 ? Can this be a daily rider

Would you recommend the RS 660 to a new rider as their first bike? Price not being an issue.

how are the mirrors at high speeds? that's probably the only thing keeping me from getting this bike, I only hear how shaky and unusable they are

@@B-LeeRides wow great info; I wish everyone who has this bike knew that, that's huge info hahah
Which exaust is best for aprilia rs660 🤔
Arrow..
Why you so fast ride this motorcycle if you crash what you doing bro
Ha
What do you think about this as a first bike ?
