Aprilia RS660 can be pre-ordered soon
Welcome to the MOTORCYCLE NEWS!
With a video Aprilia announces the upcoming
RS660.
The mid-range super sports bike, which comes
with a high-quality electronics package, will
be available for pre-order from October.
The final data has not been released yet,
although the bike has been teased for almost
two years now.
The 660cc parallel twin is said to generate
around 100 horsepower.
The engine was derived from the 1100cc V4
of the V4R.
Basically it was halved.
The trunnion offset is 270 degrees.
The engine will meet the Euro5 standard and
was installed as a supporting part in the
polished aluminum frame.
The chassis components are from Kiyaba- and
Sachs.
Brembo brakes are used for deceleration, the
electronics for the ABS come from Bosch.
The dry weight is given as 169 kg.
A double fairing is said to have a positive
influence on the aerodynamics and to offer
more stability at high speeds.
The smartphone can be coupled with the TFT
display, for example to show mobile phone
navigation on the display.
The display automatically adapts to the lighting
conditions of day and night.
It should be possible to control the power
delivery by at least three driving modes.
Curve ABS, traction and wheelie control, cruise
control, quickshifter incl. blipper and a
motor-brake assistant should be built into
the little sports bike.
All final data should be announced shortly.
