Review
The 2022 Aprilia RS 660 35kW presents a restricted version of the acclaimed RS 660, designed to meet specific licensing regulations while retaining the core appeal of the platform. Its 659cc parallel-twin engine produces 46.9 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 67 Nm of torque at 8,500 RPM, offering a balance of accessibility and performance. Reaching a top speed of 235 km/h, it delivers a genuine sportbike experience. The 6-speed gearbox enables smooth and precise gear changes. The bike offers sporty ergonomics with an 820mm seat height. The 15-liter fuel tank provides ample range for both commuting and spirited rides. Weighing 169kg, it maintains agile handling and responsiveness. The Kayaba 41mm front forks, adjustable for preload and rebound damping, allow riders to fine-tune the suspension to their liking. Brembo brakes with ABS provide confident stopping power. The RS 660 35kW is tailored for riders seeking a restricted-power motorcycle that doesn't compromise on style or technology. It’s an ideal choice for those who desire a capable and aesthetically pleasing machine that adheres to licensing restrictions, offering a blend of performance and practicality.

Pros (Advantages)

✅ Why buy this bike?

• Lightweight and agile chassis offers exceptional handling and cornering prowess, ideal for track days and spirited road riding. • The 35kW (47hp) restricted engine provides a smooth, linear power delivery, perfect for A2 license holders learning sportbike dynamics. • Advanced electronics suite, including multi-level traction control and ABS, enhances safety and rider confidence in varying conditions. • Distinctive Italian styling and premium componentry give it a high-end feel and stand out from other middleweight sportbikes. • Comfortable ergonomics for a sportbike, making it more suitable for longer rides and daily commuting than full-on supersports.
👎
Cons (Disadvantages)

⚠️ Things to consider

• The restricted 35kW power output can feel underwhelming for experienced riders seeking maximum performance from a 660cc twin. • Premium Aprilia parts and servicing can be more expensive compared to Japanese rivals in the middleweight class. • Wind protection, while decent for its class, is still limited on longer highway stretches, leading to rider fatigue. • While comfortable for a sportbike, the aggressive riding position still places strain on wrists and back during extended city riding. • Resale value might not be as strong as some more mainstream Japanese competitors in the long run.
