You're definitely not to old. I bought a rs660 as my first bike ever at 37. It's a fantastic bike. I would absolutely do some track days. I did my first track day at 8 months of riding, and my second and 3rd back in June. Awesome time!
You are going to have an absolute BLAST!! This makes power COMPLETELY different than the Harley, all the pull is at 7-8000 rpm which is where the Harley redlines.. 😛. You will be short shifting literally ALL the time. You will also be AMAZED at all the technology that you have been missing out on with the HD and will be asking yourself why HD doesnt add ANY of it considering what they charge for their bikes.....I own 3 HD's, a Ducati, and a BMW...I also see why John bought his BMW...he had sportbike envy!! LOLZ. REally looking forward to watching you grow into this bike!! REally nice that you have a group of guys who encourage you, as my group literally talks smach about anything not HD or INdian...and even on the Indian....
Im a sport bike guy that got into harleys last year, Im really into both of your "OG" channels.. Love your new channel as well, its so nice to see the friendship between you and john going on in this new journey. Keep it up guys enjoy the ride , thanks for bringing us with you along the way🤟🤟🤟😎😎😎
I bought my first motorcycle last year ( Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe 2023) at the tender age of 58 years young! The 1st time I ever rode a motorcycle was back in 83, but didn't get my class M endorsement until last year. Brooklyn, NY here :P
Great bike! I have an RS660 and Duke890. Two great bikes, you’ll definitely enjoy it on track and on twisties! Northeast Pa here has some great back roads where both bike really shine. Stay safe and maybe we’ll see ya out there!
Really nice bike! I'm also considering the RS660 as my first sport bike. At 44yo, you give me hope it can be done 😂. If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? I'm 6'5 and wondering if I could actually fit on the thing. My Aprilia dealer doesn't have one at the moment. Keep those vids coming and ride safe ✌️
Great choice! My dream is to have the best of every type of bike in my garage! Do you mind creating a video on which other models you considered and how you choose the rs660? Also the buying process?
I am 55, and also looking at the RS 660... really enjoy your videos.. any issues with cross winds? with the bike being so light and having fairing that can act as sails?
Did you have a look at the Tuono 660 as well? If so, what made you choose the RS? I'm looking at purchasing my second bike at 50yo. Currently on a Triumph Bonneville. My back isn't the greatest, and am concerned that the sporty riding position of the RS wont be great for it. Kind of have my mind set on the Tuono, and am wondering how much of a difference the riding position really is.

Heck no you’re not old bro. I’m 52 and I just picked up my RS660
Let’s Go!!!

I’m 5’10’ but my buddy is 6’3” and sits on it comfortably. It’s considered a big mid sized bike !

Beautiful bike. Congratulations. Can you change the readout to MPH?

No issue with cross wind - unless you’re riding during a hurricane 😂
Boys and their toys! Don’t give me any more ideas 🤣

After a few months on the bike - get the Tuono 660 ! Simple !
@@HOLYSHIFTSP Thanks.
Badass, would love an Aprilia but don't think I can convince myself to get rid of my BMW for it.
Gazoline like Mad Max lol I like it.
First!!
I hope that bike is my second sport bike
Drinking gae: Everytime he says "sportbike" you take a shot xd
Second
