Thank you very much for your kind words and enjoy motorcycling in Europe. Still love the beast and enjoying my time and ability to ride. Life is good right now! Juuuust working a bit too much lol. Guess you gotta pay to play.

I have not noticed any kind of leak anywhere.

Yep, there has been no changes at all since 2020. Exact same bike.

Thank you! Every time I realize I actually own this motorcycle, I cannot believe it! The rear section is stock.

Indeed, and I’m being patient. My work schedule has changed and I haven’t had much time to adjust. But it will be done!!!😁

Yes it is possible but if you don’t plan on tracking the bike I might go for a 2020 or earlier. Not only do you have to and headlights and the entire bracket system to house it you have to do the other things to make it street legal. Eventually, it would have to pass state inspection then be registered and titled as street legal and you know the dmv will get there’s 💰

@@tebuchenself2882well the price people are asking for used road legal r6’s, it might be cheaper. Plus it’s brand new and has better performance!

Thanks! Yeah, I still can’t believe I’m in possession of this beautiful machine!!! The 660 is awesome and you’ll love the upgrade

No problems but I do notice that the bike heats up pretty quickly while in traffic but does cool off when moving. I plan on getting an akra exhaust and tune and have heard that the tune has the bike running cooler. We shall see...

Just pure insanity!!!

Hah! My buddies know to check on me if any of my bikes do not exceed showroom finish...I'm also that kinda nerd🤓

@@tebuchenself2882 Ha, well enjoy that brand new dual sport and perhaps one day you'll use it as it was intended for? BTW > I have the same bike with all the same mods.😍

@@robertfair1770 Will do Big Rob!!! I still have and enjoy this motorcycle. It is probably the one I will keep after the others have gone...

Yes its possible. It has the wire harness but nothing else. You would need the whole front light assembly. Brackets and housing plus lights

Man! Almost makes me want to buy another one lol. Congrats on a great bike and great deal.

Agreed, 1299 is a master piece!

I couldn’t agree more. These bikes are flipping awesome! I’m coming up on my 1st service and definitely going for an exhaust and tune. I cannot wait!!!

I also started off in the gixxer world with a 600 SRAD. Fantastic bike but the RSV4 on another planet

Yo man, congrats!!!! That’s awesome. Saturday is going to be epic and I almost can’t wait for you 😂 Yep yep…I did you YT thing too. You’re bike is something special and it’s so good, I wish every motorcyclist could have the experience. Heck of a deal for what you’re getting too. Any mod plans?

Yep, all the wires and connections are there. I bought a set of mirrors to look more street legal to break in some miles and it was plugged and play

So yeah it’s plumbed

It does not have headlights. If I were to put some in I would check ebay if I was on a budget or order a brand new set from the dealer if I had extra cash.

I would advise to see if there is a better fit these days. This is for the duke bought a while back so there may have better options.

@@tebuchenself2882 okay thanks! Just bought my rc390 last month. Any issues you encounter on your rc390 so far?

@@reghz Not for me. And I really take care of my bikes. I even taught a couple of people how to ride using the RC and they loved it!

@@tebuchenself2882 what is your mileage so far on your rc?

I have not converted this bike for street use. I know others that have converted straight up dirt bikes to make it street legal and it seems pretty easy. The process would be to add lights, horn, license plate bracket with light, signals, and at least one mirror to pass inspection. Then it’s off to the dmv and go through hoops which, means 💵

Yes, I will. Just between work and riding my other bikes it may be a minute. I plan on a full akra system after break-in. I should reach that here pretty soon

That's a freaking amazing deal! If that was my options I would have surely done that. I was watching these aprilia's and was looking at the 22 last year but was too late on the deal.

I think you can’t go wrong either way. I also left my options open to maybe get a tuono but could not pass up this deal

@@tebuchenself2882I can imagine that. Congrats on your purchase man! Stay safe

Yes. At least in Texas you could. Of course, added fees to satisfy the local DMV

Very nice! Man, you went all in with KTM. I love the color scheme as well. I find myself lifting my tinted visor up during mid ride to check how the tank pops in the sunlight

It’s a generic one off of eBay for the previous model Ktm. Minor mods and fits well. Does the job for about $20. There may be better choices out there now.

Indeed! Looking at this bike in my garage never gets old.

Yes it is. Thank you. Much joy out this motorcycle!

Would be a grand B-Day!!! The joy from riding this motorcycle is awesome. Riding out there...the sound, the bike, the power, the feel, the experience...it just makes any day great!!!

@@tebuchenself2882 are you on instagram at all?

Do you have Instagram at all? I got a few questions for you with the RSV4

@@jasontodd9302: no Instagram but if you have any questions you can ask here and can try to help. Just let me know.

Received and thank you. I was also considering sending my ecu off to Moore Mafia to get flashed and sent back. I just have to get over actually sending it and trusting the hands of postal workers 😬

@@tebuchenself2882 As a general rule I'd be apprehensive to use any of the tuners that seem to popular with social media influencers, do a bit of research, maybe poke around aprilia forums or something you'd be better off finding a tuner that has lots of experience with these bikes if you can. I don't know who that is for you (Im not in the US) and yeah a courier service with insurance might be better than post too. love this black with red wheel style, first seen in 2018 or there abouts, one of my favs for sure

Duly noted…I certainly want it done right, thanks!

Thank you! Just out riding earlier and it was awesome!!!

Nice! Wow, March! Our winter here in Texas was one day of “icing” a few weeks ago lol. Yep, my plan is the same as yours after the break to upmap and exhaust. I’m also going to change the coolant as I here this will resolve the “heating issues”. No issues yet though. Any thoughts on the matter?

@@tebuchenself2882 Hah I wish our winters were like that out here! I've heard about that but I don't think I'll change the coolant unless any overheating issues arise. Personally, I should be fine during the break in period as the temperatures out here don't get in the 70's until end of May/early June and by then I'll likely have the gabro map/exhaust installed and from what I've read online, the new map will help the engine run a little cooler and also make the fan kick in 5 degrees (not sure if Celsius or Fahrenheit) earlier than it would typically. I guess time will tell!

@@ivajurj4874 Fantastic! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and plans. This is very good information for me and it is very much appreciated. Happy riding!!!

Hi! The Akrapovic slip was $600 but looks like the price increased a bit: ktmtwins.com/collections/ktm-rc-390-parts/exhaust The chamber delete here: www.competitionwerkes.com/products/ktm-390-duke-chamber-delete-2021?_pos=2&_sid=f89f55495&_ss=r All a bit pricey!

Take note that the chamber delete is for the 390 Duke so the mounting areas are not perfect

Thanks! I think the Akra is worth. I’m still having tons of fun on this bike

Thanks! You see, its distractions like these beautiful bikes that keep me away from my R6! 😂

My 1st track day with the R6 will be March 30th at Circuit of the Americas (COTA). I was originally going to go Thanksgiving weekend but it wasn’t ready...I wasn’t ready. But, I’m all paid up and I really need to do this and have a few mods I still have to do. I know it has been a while but its coming.

Indeed marc and thanks for the comment. My next vid about this bike will be the upmap and full akra after my 600m break in. I also intend to address those heat issues. The bike is pure bliss and I believe if you take care of it properly, it will give you exactly what you ask of it.

I always feel like a huge man sail on my naked😂 Agreed, this bike rips and pure bliss!

Yeah, I’m a sucker…oh well it’s sunny and 70 degrees outside with light traffic. Not sure what to do🧐 Guess I’ll sit here and sulk on my bad money decision

Hahhahaha😂

What is your treasure bike?

Care to explain what’s the issue is? I have been riding the same model since last year 🤔🤔🤔

Hello from Texas!! The bike does not come with a quick shifter but you can have it added on as a option. I was going to have mine added but I heard the factory one isn’t that good. I love quick shifter and auto blip on my other bikes but I’m ok with it off on this bike. Just adds to the fun to shift.

Thanks! Man, if you get the opportunity to add this to the garage…do it! It’s an experience I think all sport bike riders should have.

I noticed my bike warms up quickly and stay around 205f before I take off. The it hangs around 180-190f when riding easy. I’m a bit concerned about Texas summers. Anything make your run cooler?

@@tebuchenself2882it won’t stay at 205, get stuck at a light or traffic and tell me different, even with fans on it will climb. I was going to try a 3rd fan on a manual switch but too late, got rid of it. It’s a street bike that can’t handle the street unfortunately

Received, thank you for the heads up.

​@@lg740xx.. changing the coolant to engine ice would've solved that problem...

@@sipwitme4625 Thanks for the advice! I will do this this before the weather gets hot.

Thanks! I’m happy to be a part of the aprilia fam!!!
