First problem I see is they should have tweaked the engine 6 more ccs for that evil power

I heard they wanted to but since they are in Italy the Vatican stepped in and said no. The the Pope heard Ducati USA was raided by FBI. He promptly went out and bought a Moto Guzzi

I'm excited to see what the 660rs brings to the table at the track this year.

I wish Aprilia would skip all the social media teasing and just send one to Zack and Ari to review.

Pretty sure they have tested and reviewed it, no?

The RS660 has been tested but the Tuono has not been introduced to the media yet.

I hear that the EU A2 tiered licensing requires bikes to be detuned via dealer by an ECU compliance setting of not making more than 47bhp in restricted form. This rule also requires that motorcycles not make more than double the 47bhp when in unrestricted form. This is why the Tuono is being sold at 95bhp and not the RS' 100bhp number.

Aprilia invited them to the their ride day at Chuckwalla last month. The RS 660's they had for them were on slicks while the model I rode was bone stock. I was stoked to pass Ari only to find out his bike ran out of gas.

My take on track-riding both the RS 660 and current Tuono is that the 660 will make an amazing race platform. Personally, I couldn't imagine having a smaller version of the Tuono, that bike surprised me in many ways but the 660 Tuono will likely appeal to a broader audience.
