2023 Aprilia RS 660

2023 Aprilia RS 660 sits in the middle of Aprilia's sportbike range, positioned as the accessible entry point into the brand's race-derived engineering without the full-liter superbike commitment. This is a middleweight built around a parallel-twin engine that rewards a rider who wants to actually use the performance rather than just admire it on a spec sheet — it's happy carving canyon roads or working through a track day without punishing you on the commute home. The riding position leans sporty but stops short of the wrist-crushing crouch of a full supersport, and the electronics package makes the power delivery approachable for riders stepping up from smaller machines. It's a bike that flatters intermediate skill levels while still having enough in reserve to keep experienced riders engaged. The 2023 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2022 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Typical buyers are riders moving up from a 300-500cc machine who want real sportbike character, or downsizing from a liter bike without sacrificing engagement. Collector interest remains low; this is a rider's bike, not a garage investment.
