Aprilia RS660 Reviews

I am NOT at Cota unfortunately.

I am going to trust the RRW reviews when they come out.

I am more than excited about this bike. I actually have a personal on order. Might see an old fat guy at some MotoAM and WERA in 21. Maybe. Depends. Not Sure yet. But possibly

 

Old fat guys are a dime a dozen at wera and motoamerica races

 

Point to some that has won races and championships.

 

Does before the age and weight years count?

 

Ill let you know next year. maybe. LOL

 

Kaleb says it's bad ass. Very fun to ride and he was comfortable on it right away. He did say that the engine needs some low end power, and that the Yamaha pulls much harder. I'm sure I'll get some more info tomorrow, his voicemail box is full....lots of people want to know about that Ape!

Can't wait to see what MotoAmerica has to say about it- however with the first bikes still 10 weeks away, it's going to be a tight squeeze getting them ready for MotoAmerica opener in April.

I imagine it will take a year or so for them to reach their full potential, depending on how much money is thrown at the development. The FZ was taken a long way by Andy of AP Motoarts, and then Robem and Roaring Toyz picked up the ball for a while and moved it exponentially forward.

There will definitely be some smart people working on this one, too.

Stronger LW grids would be awesome!

 

Well, first real dyno chart I've seen - 99hp and 50ft lbs.

EDIT - power is KW not HP - conversion to ponies means 99 raging Italian stallions.

 

Oh shit

 

I’ll be curious what the full exhaust and non-Euro5 engine mapping does for it.

 

A buddy sent that to me and I just checked into it - it looks like this is the original dyno chart Aprilia put out there showing CRANK power figures - not an independent shop testing real world backwheel power. oops.

 

Subtract 20% max for rear wheel HP.

 

no one cares about dyno graph at the crank.

 

get back in the shop and finish that SV500 junker that you've been fucking with forever...

 

79 at rear wheel

you get close to that on a 2nd gen. with cams and throttle bodies don't you Z?

 

do i cancel my order now, or yesterday?

 

Unless when it’s less than what the competitors bikes are making at the wheel...

 

I almost don't even care about stock RWHP anymore. With emissions garbage, the only thing that starts to tell the tale is what they make with a slip on and a halfway decent tune.
