Aprilia RS 660 2021

In 2021, the Aprilia RS 660 can be seen as the last true 600cc supersport, because with its sporty seating position and high-quality chassis components, it hits the sweet spot between suitability for everyday use and trackday potential. Thanks to the comprehensive electronics package, nothing is left to be desired on the road or on the track - and you can't complain about the powerful two-cylinder anyway. A great package for all those for whom 200+ hp superbikes are too much for everyday use.

The 'R' picks up where the standard Duke leaves off, or reaches its limits. On the road, the difference will only be noticeable in a home track duel, but on the racetrack it becomes particularly clear. The decisive factors here are the brakes, the adjustable chassis and the lean angle clearance. The 30 mm higher seat automatically puts you in a front-wheel racing position, gives you more feedback from the chassis and puts more pressure on the brakes. The 'R' already has everything on board that you only get with the standard version via the Track Pack - and even more. Namely the fine suspension and the Akrapovic exhaust. In return, you have to make small concessions in terms of comfort in everyday use.
