Same rider on both bikes in back to back runs and the Honda will take it, provided it's a newish version of the CBR. It just has more power up top, could be a 20hp advantage. But day to day, normal riding, the Aprilia will feel like the stronger bike because of the more accessible torque of the twin.
You know what’s nuts? If I recall the dyno charts, the RS 660 and CBR650R (not 600rr) have almost identical powercurves if you overlay them. Almost same displacement, one is twin and one an inline 4. Kinda crazy.
I have always liked aprilias but the current 600-700 bike really for me has lost its punch. They are no quicker than bikes 20-25 years old . In actual fact they are slower than some. When I started out on the “big bikes” r6, cbr 6, Zx6 98-2000 era were equally as fast if not faster . the new fad 660s are just not ticking the boxes unless it’s a money thing of course.
Well these bikes are not a 600 category. They are twin cylinder. Its like comparing an r7 to an r6. Two different bikes. They will never be as fast as 600s will be. But they have more torque on low end and for the street that is perfect. And that is why a lot of people choose the twins over a traditional 600.
@@ALFAVITAGA but they are a 600 category they are the budget starter bike aimed at the youngsters like the r6 ect, Category’s generally are relative to capacity not cylinders , I have ridden one and it was a bit flat to be honest . The torque argument isn’t really relative as this 660 is way down on a 23 year old r6 with less capacity .
@@Crsf84 It is not a 600 category and that is the reason it has its own category in Motoamerica the Twins Cup and racing alongside the R7. An R6 cannot enter that category.
@@ALFAVITAGA In europe where this originated this is a 600 category machine it’s even worse that it’s more capacity and slower, Its aimed at a replacement or competitor of the 600s, Being twin or 4 cylinder is a silly argument for decades the world has referenced capacity not amount of cylinders or in that case to we rewrite history and dismiss ducati? The facts are they have more cc less power less torque slower all round (granted sound good) .
I understand what you mean, but the R7 is also higher CC than an R6 and the RS660 at 689cc. Does that mean the R7 should be faster than the R6? No. Even though the R7 has the highest CC number of both the R6 at 599cc and the RS660 at 659cc, the R7 remains the slowest bike of all 3. Thats because the R7 is not on the 600cc supersport category even though its CC is 689. I guess you could categorize them under twin cylinder 600s but no matter what we name the category they will never be as fast as a true 600 bike like an R6. And that is the reason in racing they created a unique category for bikes like the RS660 and the R7. Because these bikes are unique on their own and are redefining the category. But yes in our own vocabulary of the biker world vocabulary, we call all these bikes 600s.
In terms and launching and acceleration, how does the RS 660 actually compare to other 600 class bikes? (Minus top end bc it doesn't seem built for that
I can tell you compared to an R6 that I rode, the RS660 feels faster on low and mid end. The R6 feels very sluggish. The RS660 does a good job on top end but once you reach speeds around 120mph the R6 keeps ripping while the R660 becomes sluggish.
I’d still take the RS660. You can always make a bike faster, but you can’t make it cooler or more unique. CBR’s are a dime a dozen, but you rarely see a RS660.
The RS660 is a super fun bike for the track. You would love it. But being a newer bike and being an Aprilia, you tend to have a longer waiting period on OEM parts if something breaks compared to Honda. Other than that I definitely recommend it for a track build.

Negatively judging a rider, aka bullying, is often times what leads inexperienced riders to go down, injuring themselves or even dying trying to prove to the bully skills that they may not have. We’re all part of the same passion that is two wheels. You don’t have to be that guy. ✌️
I would probably have the same opinion as you if I hadn’t heard the RS660 with a CRT in person. I can tell you that in bike meets the RS660 is the center of attention between loud liter bikes. Unless of course an RSV4 is there 😛
RS660 is f***ing sexy in black!
It is 💯👌
No twin culinder bike should ever sound that good...
Definitely my favorite twin sound ✌️
Yamahas MT03/ R3 and MT07/ R7 also sounds pretty damn good. Same configuration as the Aprilia with a 270 degree crank
@@stegtflaeskWrong only the R7/mt07 have a 270 crank. The R3/mt03 has a flatplane 180 crank.
I love an Aprillia, through and through. But that CBR whine was hittin a little different

It does sound similar to R1 at low rpm. But at high rpm the R1 sings
