The 2024 Aprilia RS 660 stands as one of the most versatile and tech-heavy entries in the middleweight sportbike class, blending approachable street ergonomics with track-ready performance. Positioned between mild commuter twins and aggressive, razor-edge supersports, it delivers premium Italian styling and top-tier electronics.
The "Half-a-V4" Design: The 659cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine is essentially derived from the front cylinder bank of Aprilia’s flagship RSV4 superbike. It pumps out a robust 100 horsepower at 10,500 rpm and 49.4 lb-ft of torque.
Gutsy Torque Curve: Thanks to a 270-degree crankshaft configuration, the engine provides an extremely wide and forgiving powerband. Reviewers from Motorcycle.com note that 80% of peak torque is available at just 4,000 rpm, meaning you can effortlessly surf the midrange without constantly dancing on the gear shifter.
Characterful Soundtrack: Unlike standard parallel-twins that can sound sterile, the RS 660 emits a bass-heavy, mechanical growl that mimics a V-twin under hard acceleration. Unlike traditional 600cc race replicas that force the rider into a punishing, wrist-heavy crouch, Aprilia designed the RS 660 for day-to-day comfort:
Relaxed Controls: The clip-on handlebars are mounted above the top triple clamp, raising the rider's posture slightly to relieve strain on the lower back, wrists, and legs.
Chassis Width: The aluminum twin-spar frame is remarkably narrow between the knees, making low-speed maneuvering, city commuting, and lane-filtering easy for riders of varying heights.
Featherweight Agility: Tipping the scales at a mere 403 pounds wet, the bike handles with a crisp, nimble nature that allows it to flick side-to-side effortlessly through tight canyon roads. This bike like all our bikes will be fully serviced, inspected and detailed at the time you take delivery. See this and other great deals at www.cyclehunters.com
