Love it!!!!
Bout to say I love it. But u know that’s what everyone else’s would say. I would steal it!!!
Could you please do a video or mention in a Yam Cast on how to get started with track days, sanctioning bodies, resources, FYIs, gear, bike set-up, etc. on Track Days. I really want to "hone the craft" and would like to do it in a safe and structured environment.
The compression is under the rebound adjustment use a 13mm socket and you can adjust it. Did it to mine.
Pretty nervous to go to the track for the first time and now that I saw you yelling at people, I'm even more nervous I may make some kind of mistake like they did....
can't wait to watch the turbo busa on the track!
You gonna be waiting awhile if he don't hit a mil in subs.
He might get banned XD lol
turbo busa on track lol 😂
Aprilia: makes a 100+ hp monster with half the engine of the famous rsv4 powerhouse
Yam in the intro: look at his cute little thing, isn't this adorable
Has it actually been confirmed it’s 100hp on the 660?
Infamous is "famous" for something bad.
@@Fearless154 oh well ill edit it then thx
@@yomommalikethismeat9968 yes i do believe so
@@yomommalikethismeat9968 pretty sure that was confirmed before it’s release. People were dyno testing the early bikes
Aprilia: makes a 100+ hp monster with 660cc and 2 cyl and gorgeous looking.
*Yam: d o e s i t s u c k?*
lol
The sound it makes, the way it looks and rides. Classic Aprilia. The Tuono 660 just became one of my bucketlist items.
Yam 5 years ago: *rippin nooners* making fun of old people as they scream "SAVE IT FOR THE TRACK!"
Yam now: "GET OFF THE APEX IF YOU'RE PITTING OUT!!"
A couple near deaths will change a guy
@@overlordgaming752 a guy with a brain.
Why is yam dressed like a Pokemon trainer.
This video sold me on the RS 660. I'm a new rider and did 8 track days with it this summer. It is so easy to ride and fast enough that I can't imagine getting bored with it anytime soon!
this thing with some of the breaking and shifting worked out and maybe 15-20 more hp aka a sweet ass exhaust to hear that motor sing, would be a force to be reckoned with for sure, especially if its already keeping a prepped 600 on slicks in sight, even if he was taking it a little easy.
Totally agree with you. I didn’t test it to the extend that you did but I feel that it’s such an awesome bike hits the right spot. Just the right amount of power and fun.
This makes me even more excited to see what the r7 will be like.
Don't hold your breath.
I highly doubt they'll give it a new chassis.
The way I see it knowing from how japanese manufacturers work.
They'll just use the same mt07 chassis with a bit better suspension and basic electronics package from mt09 and clip on maybe tune the engine to 85hp and call it a day.
I want them to do a fully-faired triple
a waterd down, cheaper and less powerfull version of this
@@mala7794 yeah I’ll probably lose my shit if it’s only got about ~70 horse power
@@Fearless154 yep sounds pretty dead straight on the money. I can see them potentially going a bit higher with the hp number if they do some mechanical work on the engine (wider bore maybe?) but it's very unlikely. Probably just a tune and different exhaust setup, but in same chassis and with upgraded suspension and brakes (it really needs it if it's gonna come in an "R" configuration).
I hope they at least nail the visuals. The base 7 series engine is already a fine platform for a more casual approach to what Aprilia is doing, especially if they are gonna offer it for a few grand less.
Need to hear it with an aftermarket pipe
I rode one recently with an akrapovic. It sounds miles better
Awesome! The local Aprilia dealer near me (re 1.5 hours away) has a single RS660 in stock and it's the lovely black scheme that I would prefer. Tempting, very tempting.
let me be the devil on your shoulder.. BUY IT NOW
@@Real_MisterSir Agreed, better buy it now; they sell quick and will be hard to get
There aren't enough dealerships for how well this bike is selling.
Josh will definitely buy one after watching this video lol
That was a fun ride. Might have to learn to do track days.
Great review!!. Suspected this would be the reaction. Also video quality is getting insanely good.
I am a dedicated cruiser guy. This bike looks fantastic! If i was ever to try a sporty bike I, this would be it. :)
Alright I’m sold this is my next bike
Great review Yam. What about the crappy reliability we hear from first time buyers? You make it sound perfect, but it seems it had a bunch of issues with its electronics/software and slow response from factory to dealers. Can you discuss this on a dedicated video?
That audio is on point yam. 👌
Excellent driving!!! I am in the process of getting this bike in same color, can't wait to hop on it after such a good valuation!
Man, is so hard to listen you guys from another countrys saying that a 600 cc bike is a little bike.....
It's a v twin, not a race engine; very different from 600cc sport bikes. It's a moderately paced bike, but slow if you are used to racing liter bikes.
For rear rebound adjustment.....Dave Moss drilled a tiny hole, just big enough for a screw driver, through the plastic piece covering the adjustment screw.

Thanks Yammie! I want this bike but thinking of the R7 or R9 when it comes out. I like the less aggressive seating
So clean and shiny. Such a beautiful bike yammster. Glad youre out enjoying it!
Wow just amazing just amazing Yamiee ...you are my inspiration bro❤️
The tights and jorts are a bold move my man.
Haah! Very true.
At every video this bike becomes more desirable, it's a shame that it blows my current budget for my next bike.
Maybe in a few years
it's a sweet bike but I'd rather have a bike that doesn't start knocking after a few thousand miles like this surely will. Aprilia's are so good when new but a complete nightmare as they age(as many euro bikes are). You really need disposable money to get the best biscotti experience.
@@Jon-nz3dm Yeah my current budget only allows me to play with japanese bikes for now...
They are also daily riders, reliability is even more important if it is your main form of transportation! Maybe one day ahahaha
When you have the coin for an Italian bike, I suggest 2 Japanese bikes...from past experience
Just going to say when you said you were pushing hard... It didn't look like it... Not a criticism, you just looked so smooth and made it flow.. Its why I like smaller bikes for track fun. You cannot be aggressive on them and have to keep corner speeds up and just keep it going forward... Great little video.
I see ya YammieNoob with the Arai Defiant X I just ordered one should be here pretty soon!! Nice riding!!
Great vid, Yam.Thx for the heads-up on the brake lever. That's a new one. Unfortunately the quick-shifter issue is not. Still waiting for mine. 😩
TURBOBUSA AT 1 MIL! (first lol)
BUSA!
That is the best sounding parallel twin.
i luv my aprilia everything is awesome about the only thing that sucks is when you pull into get some gas and you are in a hurry you can never get out on the road quick because of all the people asking you a million questions
Man, I'm exited to try out the tuono 660 😍
The future is here with this bike! So much potential and so much fun!
great video man
Great video. Great job on the track - no foolishness - Always expect folks on the apex as they get ready to pit; that's no place to pick up time. You must develop alternative racing lines through that part of the track because the apex is not going to be their when you want it.
Aprilia RS660 vs a Turbo BUSA Come on everybody let's get Yam to a million subscribers (tell your friends and family too) so we can see that head to head before the Aprilia has to go to it's new owner.
Hey yam, I came across the old Corpo Seco channel of yours and was wondering if you were gonna take another stab at it again? I enjoyed your music.
Love how the hazards came on at the end of every straight lol
...stupid euro5 regs
Sweet bike. I'm scared to know the price when it's released in Australia though. Bike prices have jumped a lot since they've put all the electronic mod cons on them, here.
License plate says TX. I think I might be moving near you sir!
I’ll be living 15 minutes away from COTA. I currently ride a MT09, but will be selling it before I get to TX. I would like to see the bike scene out there first. But it looks like it’s going to be fun.
Welcome man I'm just west of Austin got a tuono factory you'll love the hill country roads. Hwy 1431, limecreek rd are some fun and scenic roads to ride
Just watch out for gravel on corners that have driveways sometimes people are assholes and dont like us on their roads
Lol also the bike shops are on i35 feeder roads all real close to each other. Theres ride now, Ducati, tj's cycles, and af1 racing. There's also dream machines of austin but I believe its not on i35. The others are all almost a stones throw away from each other though
Great video! I really think this may eventually be my First sport bike!
Perfect everyday sport bike. Good job Aprilia. Nice video.🇬🇷🇬🇷
A+ thanks for the great video man! Good stuff!!!
I really want one of these as a dedicated race bike next to my R1 garage queen.
The RS IMO is gonna make supertwin racing the new dominant class as it shows how much more fun the twins are 600 supersports but only if Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki improve their 650/700cc twins and if the rumours about the new Suzuki twin are true it should be a blast.
Makes sense why I started racing on a 650
Can you test the bmw s1000r 😀😀
Very smooth :D Well done.
Never heard somone call a bike a sweetheart😂can’t tell if it’s good or bad
Would still love to see a cbr650r on the Chanel
When can we expect new exhaust on this beauty? Are you planning to go for full exhaust system or just a slip-on?
Great deal. Great info.. thankyou
How does this compare to the daytona 675r??? I'm surprised there haven't been any real comparisons between the two. ☹️
This video killed me 😩 had to choose a Ninja 650 over a beautiful RS660. Just felt more comfortable as a new rider. Love the Aprilia though.
Most people overlook the comfort factor. Good job
Your suit is a perfect match to the bike 😁
I just bought an almost new Street Triple. I love that bike, but you’re making me wish I bought an RS660 instead.
You are living the dream yam.
Awesome video! Thanks for posting. Certainly looks like a fun time! I’m headed to an Aprilia Track/Demo day June 7th to try out both 660 models and hit the track for the first time. Can’t wait!!😁
I'll stick to the 2021 peace sports 150cc it cost me 2k I'm all set I own it as well
That is my next bike!
Damn that looked like alot of fun!
Love seeing this bike 👀
This bike is just Beautiful
That was fun👍👍
i mean would you buy this than a cheaper zx6r??
If you want to commute or not have your back tired everyday then yes
also the performance benefit of the zx6r is only gonna be at the very top end, so realistically the difference isn't noticable enough to be a selling point on its own (and the RS660 beats it performance wise in midrange and out-of-corner speeds). If you want to make an unbiased decision, just consider whether you want to use it mostly for track riding or street riding. They are pretty much equal in their respective fields, slightly overlapping in the opponent's main categories. I'd definitely go with the RS660, it's a modern platform with a completely new structure and approach to performance riding, and it won't be a sore to ride extensively on street
God you’re making it hard for me to hold onto my CBR650F 🥲
Love the video man!! I’m going to trade my 250 in on one
Slap a turbo and tune on it!
Could you be more specific about your suggested fix for the brake lever (reservoir?) K what?
How is this compared to the Daytona? Besides just laptime and slightly down on power.
Do you have a list of times you get with each bike you've taken to the track?
...as "the nutcracker" plays in the background.
Come back to Tucson Yam!
Yam is going to get another biscotti bike again hahahaha
Damn you're getting pretty good at suspension lingo
Compare this bike to the Triumph Daytona, please.
The new Daytona is a league above this. More power, full carbon fiber fairings, and magnesium alloy subframe. It truly is a beast of a bike.
@@Emu_Emu It was a completely new design for 2020. The frame and engine are altered versions of the Street Triple from 2017, but the rest is all new.
Eagles Canyon Raceway, Decatur TX
you won't be unnoticed by traffic with that thing
edit: are you thinking of using a 360 cam when you go on the track?
Have you ever fixed that squeaky noise on the rear brake,? If yes how? What was it? Mine is doing the same noise
Make an episode about the Suzuki katanas!! Please! Lol
I want to see a R7 vs 660 track video
corner, break similar wieght geoemtry ergo similar , rs have more power so it go faster at straight and thats alll from diffrencess realllly rest is pure preferention more grunt less topend r7 vs less grunt more topend rs660 in terms of lap times rs660 defenitelly be couple sec on lap faster than r7 thanks stronger topend and as we all know torque on rwcetrack dosent work to weelll at least in regard to lap times cos in regard to pleasure from riding for some can work even better for me both have to much power i prefer slower bikes one more stuff rs660 have stronger more stable aluminiom deltabox frame in daily riding you dont noticy this especially if you have no comaprisiion directly but its worth to mention .
I am thinking about getting a aprillia 125 as a starter bike I wonder if I could take it to the track
if its the 4 stroke one since ur startin out on A1 then goKart tracks are your friend. took my 125cc over to one and its super fun. Im moving to A2 tomorrow tho.....got myself a 600cc baby
@@mala7794 nice I bought my sister's old ninja 650 but I was told it's not a good idea to start with a big bike. I currently own a 125 Yamaha vino scooter but it is not manual and I am looking for more of a bike feel than a scooter
A Ninja 650 is a fine bike to start on, if legal in your country.
We need a record of lap times lf each bike on track.
What track is this?
Yams, test the trident 660
Do Tuono track day too
Petition to call that bike the banana-yam boat
OH SHIT IM FEELIN IT (your hoodie)
Wasn't this suposed to have adjustable compression in the front?
Love track day
Who's faster? Yammie or Maxwrist?
lol one of us club races and actually rides on track
@@yammienoob so its pretty obvious?
Do you other meet up with other vloggers to race and or ride?
Yeah we all meet up fast and the furious style and race for pinks
@@yammienoob hilarious... Didn't know you were so thin-skinned
Love the trash talk. My bet is on maxwrist, but I'll race both anytime at CVMA, WERA, or AFM. Just bought the RS660, rode it on track for the first time. Yammie is right about the track changes to the bike, but he didn't mention changing the traction control to level 1 or the bike boggs down.
Watching this made me wanna check my local track days.
You can imagine my disappointment when I saw that the only trackdays within a 7 hour drive are on "Friday June 11, Friday July 23 and Friday August 27".
Fuck my city, fuck my life, I wanna move to fucking Texas.
How do you compare it to the Panigale V2 in terms of ergonomics?
The660 is more comfortable
Is this bike comparable to R6? and if it is which one is better?
They're similar but the R6 has more horsepower while the Aprilia has a little extra torque. They are different engine configurations though so power delivery will be a little different with the Aprilia's power coming in earlier thanks to that parallel twin whereas the R6's power comes in higher in the rev range being an online four. A lot of it comes down to the style of riding and what you're looking for out of the bike. The Aprilia is slightly cheaper but there obviously is a large used market for the R6
Rs660 is a versatile sport bike you can do track days or ride it ever day.
R6 is full track focused competition machine with zero street usability.
Thanks guys :)
@@ReLCorsa I disagree. In my opinion I find my RS660 way different to ride than my R6. The R6 is way faster and a complete sportbike. The Rs660 is a great soft riding twin which is fun to ride.
Yes!
