I've ridden nothing but GSXR 750's for the past fifteen years. This thing is going in my garage next. Finally someone recognizes most riders don't care about 200hp superbikes that cost more than a new car lol. Parallel twins have more than proven their worth.

Never been a fan of Aprillia but hell this piece of art just changed my mind

As the owner of a 17 Tuono Factory I have to say this bike checks a lot of boxes. Aprilia have upped their UI with new left-side controls and an updated TFT. I'm really surprised at how good the intake and exhaust sounds are from the parallel twin. I'll never get rid of the Thunderbuggy but this would make a nice addition to it.

This is such a clever pitch from Aprilia. Super bikes are just ridiculous for the road, it’s an ego buy. They look great but are a waste. This bike fits into its own category where everyone wants to go but didn’t realise. Enough power, great looks, user friendly and different and exciting enough. BOOM 💥

They wont be able to keep up with demand. Brilliant job Aprilia.

This feels like the new age/ modern SV hole thats been left open since Suzuki refuse to modernise in a non-inept manner left the market open and these will fly out of the window! Looks beast, sounds great, plenty of power for those moving up to full A licence and beyond- very clever move from Aprilia.

Wait... It has a fuel gauge?! Aprilia must gone mad in the covid crisis.

this yellow color look unreal good, definetelx will buy this bike

Really looking forward to checking out the Tuono 660 next year.

Nice vid. Really like this bike. Got perfect road performance if a bit pricey but not a deal breaker. On the road it's much more fun to thrash a small bike than tiptoe about on a big one imo.

FINALLY A GOOD BIKE WITH HIGH END TECH, REASONABLE POWER, EXCELLENT RIDEABILITY, REALLY NICE LOOKS AND NOT A HUGE PRICE TAG

*Finally a sport bike which normal people can ride*

This looks like an amazing learner bike for the track. I learned on an SV650 and had a couple spills that would have easily been avoided with some electronic intervention. Until other manufacturers step up their game, I feel like this may even be THE road and track all-rounder for novice / intermediate track riders that that only want / can only afford one bike. Looking forward to the track review. Excited to hear what that engine sounds like uncorked as well!

See! This is what a good company does. They makes things you didn't know you wanted until they make it. And damn, I don't just want this bike, I need it. Before i even sit on it. I need it.

When you get it to the track it would be interesting to see you red line it in each gear to see how fast it is.

Only 1 or 2 % of us bike riders can use a superbike 1000 to its full potential this perfect 100hp is enough for most of us.

The acid gold colour scheme is just way too much to handle 🔥🔥

Personally I'm waiting for the Tuono 660 but it's good to know the engine is well handling. I was a bit worried about how a 660 Parallel twin would feel with 100 horse power... I think an Aprilia is going to be my next bike ^^'

Child's fast becoming my favourite reviewer along with 2 of the 3 44 teeth guys. Good stuff thanks

Interested to try this but poke all the rider aids on a 100hp bike really not needed! Well apart from the cornering ABS that's always handy. Shame it's not 120 hp but sure it's going to be brilliant as a road bike and like you say bridges that gap between 125 and Tuono for Aprilia. Very keen to try one in the UK ASAP

Isn’t there a Tuono version on its way too? Would add even more practicality to what sounds like a pretty nice package.

I feel like all parallel twins should be cross plane like this and the mt-07. It just sounds sooooo much better

A comfortable sportsbike that you don’t have to rev to 12,000rpm. Perfect 👌

The exhaust note is simply...fantastic! Looks like this bike needs a second look...a usable and sporty, real world 'road' bike. Very nice.

this was the review I was waiting for! the first one I watch for this bike! well done

I think Aprilia are going to sell a lot of these, it's one heck of a bike...

When you make a non rider want a bike you have won! This is a great machine!

This is the first bike I liked of this brand Stunning beauty🔥😍

Aprilia RSV4 is my dream bike But we Indian have to be happy with it's SR series. Currently I am owning a SR 150 Race Love from India ❤️

I hope this is the end of "extra mega exotica 20234234hp ultra expensive the best on 2020 comparison youtube video no one really buys" era.

Normally I hate yellow, don’t even know why it exists in this world. But the yellow paint job looks so sexy!

Some wicked electronics there !! This is definitely on my test ride short list.... Looks amazing too ! aprillia always quality 👍

This is the most perfect bike

Rennie Scaysbrook just had one at Laguna Seca and out along Hwy 1 in Big Sur. Missed him by a matter of hours, darn! Cannot wait to see one.

It’s a Minitwin, an up to date SV650!

....and it's design is 100% Aprillia gorgeous 😍

Looks so good and in terms of practically I bet there is any other mid range sports bike that will rival it.

Can't wait for the new rsv4 with these looks and electronics but with the 200+hp

100hp out of a 660cc twin!? That's insane. Most companies are getting 60-80hp out of a similar engine.

Tuono 660 has really got me excited, tuono vs street triple will be interesting

Wauuuwiiii the sound doesn't like parallel twin, but the sound like v4(rsv4)😍

Great review. I was hoping for the same as you. Perhaps we had it good in the eighties with screeming tzrs, nsrs, rs250s and the 400 4 cyclinder 4 strokes.. a fun era even if the modern bikes are ultimately better.

All these new bikes that cost big big money now there's a bike I'd add to the fleet happily.

So glad Aprilia brought this to market, it should sell extremely well.

Coming from a new, R3, I love it. It’s sleek, more comfortable than the R6, and its got that parallel twin sound. I love it, would be perfect for the PNW.

love the colour schemes. Yellow and RSV tricolore throwback look brilliant...... sounds good too

They should have cut the RSV4 engine the other way around[, making it a V-twin instead of a parallel twin. To me parallel twins are a bit malaise, reserved for beginners and british classics. If they would have put the SXV550 engine in this thing (and made it actually reliable), this would have been the true successor to the RS250. With the parallel it's just another beginner friendly road bike, which I suppose is what sells nowadays.

A 600 is all you need! This will be a great upgrade from a Yamaha R3.

sensible decision from Aprilia in my opinion. Will be very interested to see if this can talk me off my 765RS Street Triple

This is a really nice bike. Well done. Great price-point. I think they will murder with this. Total beaut!

They hit the jackpot with this bike. Period.

As an RSV 4 owner, I have to say I like it a lot. But, my cash would go on a 765R if I wanted a middle weight. Or get a Daytona.

Nice review but I was expecting a bit more detailed because you guys got to ride it for 200kms. How's the fueling ? Is it jerky or refined and flawless ? How comfortable is it for touring? How good are those Brembo's ? What's the fuel efficiency? How's the fit and finish of motorcycle? Is the ABS intrusive?

What a Beauty! I need one. Preferably Yellow.

The word proportion is born in italy (Rome) , off course every thing they make are aesthetically pleasing

So stoked for an updated front end to the Tuono at LAST. Only sore spot for me.

First. Am rather surprised they went down the usable daily rider rather than the ready to race moto 2 bike. Also why did they put wings on it if it a road bike?

Sound nice for parallel twin.

Great to see a new sportsbike in the 600 class.Everybody seems to ignore it these days.Looks like Aprillia may shift a few hopefully.

I wanted this bike. But with the delay, I got a GSXR 750. I’ve had two CBR600s, an R1 and now the 750. Loved them all for different reasons. Am I correct that this bike is less performance than my CBR600s? My GSXR is more than I’ll ever need, just as my R1 was. For me it’s not about the overall top speed, but a combination of looks, performance and how I feel (fit) on the bike. My question is “with over two decades of riding experience and skills to match the typical track day super star, will I be underwhelmed by this lower performing bike? I mean, how much slower is it than a CBR600?” That’s what I’m wondering. I prefer to ride safe and sane most of the time... but not all the time. And as I age, I am thinking about how a more upright riding position would be better for longer rides. Aging sucks but biking keeps us young.

Sounds great! Fantastic video!

This bike is the new design to the rsv4 and i can't wait to see it :)

Looks good, sounds good, one to look out for👌🏽

Not sure this will sway people like me considering the Ninja zx6r... look forward to seeing more reviews and comparisons before I decide.

Beautiful looking bike, in a class of its own really. Cannot justify changing my brand new CBR650R though and Honda reliability is brilliant. Will be skipping this one as for 10k I will be picking up a 2017-2019 Fireblade but beautiful bike nonetheless

I'm going to put it out there a 100bhp bike doesn't need any rider aids. It's a bike to learn how to ride on before moving on to more powerful machines.

Superb Review 👍

Now it needs an R, factory or even an SP model!

I think it’s competition for Honda CBR650R, which also got fantastic review from Bennetts. It’s got more electronics, but who really cares with only 100BHP. I’d take Honda reliability, 4 cylinders and save a load of cash.

Thank you, Chad. Looks like a nice thing ✊🏻

Interesting to see how these do at the TT next year.

This feels like it could be Aprilia's next RS125 moment for the mid-rangers. Hot cakes won't shift as quickly as these and the Tuono 660's will.

be good to see wot its like as you say remapped and different exhaust ive become a fan of aprillias since buyin a 20 plate tuono RR model great bikes nothing but good to say about aprilla so far i can imagine this bike been another good seller and popular

Another great bike with an unnecessarily high seat height that rules out short riders like myself.

Such a good looking bike and the electronics 😍

Does the RS 660 has a Crossplane parallel twin engine ?

That RS660 is smoking hot but zx6r is the way to go

The black one is awesome

I actually like it and was a bit skeptical about how it would sound but it sounds pretty good

Great fun bike, but of course it's at least about a 1000 bucks overpriced and I wouldn't get my hopes up about reliability & servicing ease and costs. For the same money, I'd rather get a bulletproof CBR650R and upgrade the hell out of it AND get a fancy new helmet while having pretty much the same level of fun on the road without any of the worries that I would have with the Aprilia. That being said, this is indeed the right direction: Building more fully faired, affordable midweight sportbikes that are not painfully wristy like an R6, etc. so you can tour and commute on them without hating your life. Only Ducati (SuperSport) and Honda (CBR650R) have similar offerings in this mega underrated class. I only hope that Yamaha (that awesome triple, hello?!), Kawasaki (How about a Ninja 900?), and Suzuki (revive the legendary 750 already!) follow suit. Over the past 5+ years, the bike market has been saturated with the overweight, overpriced, beaked, and overrated "adventure" bike craze AND the endless hype over the one trick pony naked bikes. Time for a sensible change, and that change is midweight fully faired, do-it-all (on the road) bikes like RS660, SuperSport, and the CBR650R.

Now i need those headlights for my '19 Tuono!

Love this guys review but whats up with the terrible position at 3:08 my god.

Why compare the sound to the ER6 and not the MT07? It has a 270 crank after all

Absolutely love the whole concept of this... nice and light, plus 100hp is absolutely perfect for the road. I might get the Tuono variant, when it arrives. I'm wondering if Aprilia will be able to shake their bad reputation for reliability though, coming from a Honda that would be my main concern.

Love the cruise control option on a sportsbike

I kind of like it in yellow.

Sounds great!

I like it, extremely beautiful bike

That color pattern does funny things to me

Other than cornering ABS, what use are any of the other electronics on a bike like this?! For the price I wish Aprilia had kept their electronic gizmos and invested more in shaving more weight from the package

you really gotta position your head while cornering! BTW nice job! ;)

Wonder how would it sound if it had extra few k's of rpm

Is the red color on that bike a deep red or more of an orange red? It looks different in a few videos and pictures.

I have a 2003 Aprilia RSV MILLE and it’s not that crazy lol just no rider aids and easy power wheelies in first gear 👌🏾

More a commuter than a racer then, damn. I was hoping for a true 125-130 bhp pocket rocket from Aprilia :(

perfect timing. i was looking to get a cbr650r because i thought it was the only bike similar to something like this (excluding the ninja 650 and sv650). the aprilia would be way better. pricy im sure tho

Nice Road Sport bike. Now interesting to see what Honda's response is going to be. Waiting for slightly more powerful and lighter CBR650R to take on RS660.

If I was after a sports bike (which I'm not) then this is the sports bike I'd have. Good looking, good to ride, sounds good, real world power. What's not to like? Is it actually 660cc? Could it be made eligible for supertwins?

How about the Ducati Supersport as a competitor? It's more expensive and doesn't have the electronics (but then no bikes in this sector have such a suite of electronics yet) but the ethos seems similar?

I love how you journo's always gloss over the suspension, those parts that are responsible for how the bike handles. Incredible. It looks like the forks have preload and rebound, and the shock has preload. Did it have any shock static sag when you rode it? Was the shock spring even remotely appropriate for your weight? Did the forks pogo? Most bikes pogo even when brand new. How could you even begin to understand the handling without evaluating the suspension bits and the settings? Makes no sense.
