You’re right on both. It looks and sounds a lot better compared to what it looks on videos. If you hear it with a CRT in person you won’t believe the sound. Its amazing!

Torque on the 790 was insane. It made 3rd gear feel like 1st.

Thank you! I appreciate that.

Thanks brother! ✌️

Thanks! Video doesn’t even come close to how good it sounds in person.

Right? I think the sound reminds of the hollow motogp sound too

I appreciate that brother! You too ✌️

✌️

Thanks bro 😛

💯✌️

Thank you! I appreciate that! ✌️

Thank you! ✌️

I’m not in their group but I was riding solo that day and found riders on the road that seemed cool and felt like joining. Plus at the time I was only riding for a few months so I didn’t know who RR were. ✌️

Thank you ✌️

👌✌️

You know it 😉 Thanks brother ✌️

Thank you!! ✌️

Yes, we are blessed with a lot of twisties in LA. I’m from Greece so I understand Km/h better. Plus it makes me keep a slower speed on public roads as I have a tendency to go fast.

I think being passed by a Harley would concern me more than being passed by a girl lol. RS660 sounds amazing with SC Project CRT.

I prefer them over the stock mirrors. They vibrate less at speed. You get narrower viewing angles but the stock mirrors vibrate so much at speed that you can’t see anything even with their wider viewing angles. Not to mention that it makes the bike look awesome. The only downside is that because they are positioned lower than the stock, you have to lift your hands to se directly behind you. But you get used to it.

@@ALFAVITAGA im on the fence. I definitely love the look, and I completely agree the stock mirrors are basically unusable at freeway speeds, so any functionality at all would be an improvement. What did you do about your turn signals? I believe i saw someone mention race ecu tune could unlock the integrated headlight signals, but I dont recall if that was soecific to rsv4, tuono, tuareg or all of the above. I appreciate the reply!

@@chrisdavis7533 For turn signals I installed the UpMap with Gabro’s map and the map brings the turn signals into the headlight just like the EU version. Of course I installed the UpMap for my SC Project and not just for the turn signals.

If you daily ride your bike and commute, I don’t recommend the CRT. For commuting I wouldn’t say it’s obnoxious for the rider that much, as much as it is for the people around you. Plus when you commute you don’t want to be looking out for police on every corner, since this will give you a ticket depending on where you live and the leniency of the cops. I only ride on weekends at the canyons so I wouldn’t choose any other exhaust. Its the perfect choice for me.

Sounding better than the Akra is a fact. The ones that prefer the Akra are the exemption. I have an Upmap installed with Gabros map. I haven’t dyno it yet but I’m planning to and post a video with results.

And akra is too big it's really ugly on this ride 🤷‍♂️ all is perfection here 👌

I’m on it 😉 I’m prepping multiple gopros on the bike for multiple views.

@@ALFAVITAGA it ll be awesome!i like those kind of videos!✌️💯

Yes, it has a light sensor and it changes from day mode to night mode. It helps if you’re riding at night to not blind you.

Bike sounds awesome btw

It actually isn’t that tall. I’m not a fan of tall windscreens, but I wanted a light tinted aftermarket one and this was the shortest version on the market. A bit taller than the stock but not that much taller that make it look dorky. I can barely feel any wind difference to be honest. I have one more video posted with a flyby that you can see how it looks.

@@ALFAVITAGA what kind is it?

@@ALFAVITAGA thanks for ur answer. ride safe. :)

@@ichbingypsy You too! ✌️

The RS660 comes with a quick shifter/auto blipper. You only need to use the clutch when you are at a stop. Once you are rolling you can shift gears with no clutch. Sometimes they don’t fully engage, if you notice at 2:36 the gear didn’t fully engage. Its not always the bikes fault. Sometimes it is rider error. For the upshifts a lot of times it could be caused from not fully lifting the gear lever. For the downshifts its more common to be the bikes fault. Either way if you are not racing and maximum reliability is not a concern, the QS is all the money. I know racers that don’t like it and go the traditional way using clutch.

Technically yes it does remove the warranty. The tune removes the warranty too.

It makes perfect sense. You seem to understand the difference between “uncontrolled fast” and “cautiously fast”. I could go a lot faster, but my percentage of control would drop and as you said these are public roads. It’s not the track to push limits.

@@ALFAVITAGA Yes! Cautiously fast is the perfect way to describe it. Be safe out there man 👍🏼

@@redman125 Thank you 👍

Rizoma Stealth Mirrors. I got them from here: motoclubofficial.com/stealth-mirrors-by-rizoma-for-aprilia-rs-660-rsv4-1100/

Because currently there is no extended belly pan on the market that fits the stock fairings. The only versions of extended belly pans are designed for aftermarket racing fairings. I have not confirmed with any other RS660 owner that the racing belly pan fits the stock fairings. It is in the plans to replace the belly pan once I have confirmed fitment, but in the meantime the gap does not really bother me as it only looks ugly on photos. Live you don’t even notice it.

@@ALFAVITAGA Thank you for the reply, if you get any info if the belly pan fit the stock fairing would you kindly let me know. I’m planning to get the RS660 and I would love to get the SC Project Exhaust as well if I can get the belly pan, otherwise I might go for the Motobox USA Exhaust

@@rexile1986 If I get info on that I will keep you in mind to let you know.

@@ALFAVITAGA Thank you sir

I’m Greek so no matter where I am in the world, Km/h makes more sense to me that mph. I just understand the speed more. For instance when Im in miles and I do 125mph Ill think cool Im doing 125. But if Im in Km/h Ill think holy sh$t Im doing 200km/h. So its also kind of a mental speed control.

I have an Upmap with Gabros map.

For this video I used a wind guard on the go pro.

The RS457 will sound like an RS660, as much as an RS660 sounds like an RSV4. Meaning that you will still hear that Aprilia exhaust note on the RS457, but it will not sound as good as an RS660. But I bet you it will sound really good for a 400 bike, once you slap an SC Project on it.

Yup LA ✌️

It is very loud! If you want to enjoy a calm slow ride, enjoying the scenery or commute in the city etc, the CRT is not the best option. I mostly ride only Sunday’s at the canyons and I ride like I’m being chased. So i wan’t the meanest loudest exhaust possible to feel that extra adrenaline rush. For me the CRT is perfect, but for others it might not be. A good alternative is the SC1-R. Which is interchangeable with the CRT. If cost is not an issue you can buy the CRT for when you want that extra punch and also buy the SC1-R muffler to swap it for those quieter days.

Short answer yes. I think this is the perfect first bike. This is my first bike too. At this video I had my RS660 for about 4-5 months. With that said, its not that simple. Just because this is a perfect first bike, it doesn’t mean it will be the perfect first bike for everyone. It takes a lot of maturity to know your limits and have a good mind and throttle control. These are traits that apply to all motorcycle regardless of engine size. You can be a reckless rider on a 300cc or you can be a mature rider on a 1000cc. The real question is not if a bike is a good first bike. But if the rider is ready for any bike.

​@@ALFAVITAGA Thanks for the answer! That was some crazy impressive riding for a 4-5 month new rider. My best buddy and I are gonna take our riding tests in April (and hopefully pass because the tests here in Europe are really tough). So I'm still far from actually buying a bike.

@@mode3763 Thank you! I’m originally from Greece so I know how it is. Take it one step at a time. Always wear full gear, take riding classes, advanced classes, and practice practice practice. And never exceed your limits. Ride your own ride. ✌️

I hate them too. Especially if it’s on a downshift before the turn.

@@ALFAVITAGA happened so many times to me on my 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille lmao 20 years later and still haven’t learned 😂

@@NudaMan 😂😂

No db killer. The CRT doesn’t come with a db killer. Only the SC1-R does.

@@ALFAVITAGA cheers for responding. Looking for a sc project exhaust (s1) for my R7. But it says with the db-killer in, it produces 106db @ 5k rpm lol. Tryna see of thats not too ridiculous.

@@silent_fluo6917 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r954iaR6vZ-4eo0.html check out the end of this video where I compare the SC1-R with the CRT. The SC1-R with baffle is at 101db and without baffle at 105db. The CRT is at 115db. The S1 for the R7 is at 106db with baffle and 109db without baffle. It kind of a good middle ground between the two. Its going to be loud but not as loud as the CRT. I prefer loud.

@@ALFAVITAGA cheers buddy! Helps a lot. I commute AND do canyon rips so the inbetween might be the one

It was a false neutral. It happens a lot on bikes equipped with quick-shifters.

Anywhere I would go with my CRT, heads would turn. When they saw it was an RS660 they would tell me they thought it was an RSV4. I don’t know if you have heard the CRT in person but its the best sounding exhaust for the RS660. Nothing comes close to it. Its not just loud, it also changes the boring stock tone of the bike. It makes it sound more like a liter bike rather than a 660. But then again sound is subjective. If you have heard it in person and still don’t like it then I respect that. Thats why they make other exhausts options too. But if you gather 100 people and rev the bike, 98 of them will agree that the CRT sounds the best.

Yeah riding like that with no gear is something I wouldn’t take a risk doing.

Im not sure if you’re joking or not..

Unless you’re British.. ✌️😛

Thanks for commenting. Sound is subjective. For me inline 4 or 3 sound good but boring. Part of the reason I didn’t get an r6 was this. I agree that V2s are controversial sounding bikes, especially if you judge them over a video. If you hear the RS660 with a CRT live you would change your mind. I was standing in the same position with you before I got the RS660. I thought it was a beautiful bike that sounds like crap. Until I heard it live with an SC Project. For my likings the order of bike engines go inline 4 & 3, V2, CP1, V4. But thats the beauty of bikes. We can choose whatever we like. I’d rather be on two wheels and not like the sound than not be on two wheels at all. So at the end of the day I would choose anything.
