He's a northerner, he can't help it.
He's another Ex Racer and MAg journalist though.
He likes it. Wants a "factory version though as its not full on sports bike in the suspension dept etc..

Well no, but it's not supposed to be is it? It's as they say, bridging the gap in the market. Like the mt07, the KTM 790 etc.

That popped up in my youtube feed but not had a chance to watch it yet.
With the new bloke it's gonna be awkward as Fagin/BVG had established themselves so any change is going to be odd. Doesn't help Fagin smashing himself up though. Having said that Mossy fits well in the bits he does.

Re: Middleweight class to be reborn? Italian goodness
My local 'Prilla stealership Via Moto (where I got my Guzzi) have posted on Friendface the uncrating of their first two 660's.
They say £10,149 OTR and that there's going to be some 'highly competitive' PCP deals (I'm going to guess 0%).
No yellow one, just a Black and a Blue.

Re: Middleweight class to be reborn? Italian goodness
Personally never had issues with my Mille, although it did run hot if stuck in traffic, so it was pretty rapidly removed from commuting duty. I also had a 750 Dorsoduro that apart from its pathetic fuel range, was a well built and reliable bike (at least up to 20,000 miles when I moved it on and bought a Guzzi V1200 Sport (now done over 40,000 miles without major issues).weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 9:41 amI certainly wouldn't buy one because of Tuono, Pegaso, Mille and even RSV4/TuonoV4 issues mates have had. None of the Aprilias either myself or mates have owned have ever been 100%.... Then again, not many bikes are.. but Aprilias seem more delicate to me and they'd have to spend a year or 2 proving to me that's not the case with this before it'd even be a consideration.
No need for the new Aprilia now-my Street Triple and Enfield Himalayan do 95% of what I need from a bike now. A dedicated track bike would do the other 5% but it's just not worth the investment.

On the Akrapovic dyno, the Aprilia RS 660 makes just a hair over 95hp in stock trim (and 97.4hp with just the addition of a free-flowing pipe).

The graphics are a bit garish for my tastes,but I bet it's a hoot to ride.

Re: Middleweight class to be reborn? Italian goodness
Looks like they just fitted higher bars and removed half the fairing.
Do not want.
