2021 Aprilia RS660

[Grumpy Goat]

Would be a great bike three years from now when it's still sitting on dealer's showroom floor....for $6995.

Local dealer sells Aprilia, errrrr I mean, has them on their showroom floor. They don't seem to be rushing out the door.

I see the odd one here but more Ducatis than Aprilias on the road. BUT this one might change that. It is more affordable than the Tuono or the RSV4 and better suited to the average rider. That means more sales.

We'll have to see. I tested a 2015 Caponord a long time back which I did not care for (too much heat and stiff agricultural clutch) and then a 2017 Tuono which I absolutely loved. If this bike gives similar excitement to the Tuono around town and on the twisties at a bit more moderate lever of frenzy then it will be a winner.
