2021 Aprilia RS 660

2021 Aprilia RS 660 arrived as the brand's answer to riders who wanted real sportbike DNA without committing to the physical toll of a full-size superbike. This is a machine built around a parallel-twin engine that pulls hard through the midrange rather than demanding you live near redline, which makes it usable on a canyon road or a commute without feeling neutered on a track day. The riding position leans sporty but stays livable, and the electronics package (ride modes, cornering ABS, wheelie control) gives newer riders a safety net while letting experienced ones switch it off and work the chassis themselves. As a first-year model, the 2021 Aprilia RS 660 introduced the platform fresh, with no prior-year comparison to make; buyers should focus on dealer prep, early-production quirks, and service records rather than worrying about missed updates. Expect interest from riders stepping down from liter-class bikes who want the sharpness without the insurance bill and license risk, plus former 600cc supersport owners drawn to a more relaxed, road-friendly execution. It's a rider's bike first, not a garage investment.
