Limited Edition Aprilia RS 660 Features Electronic Gearbox, Larger Fairing

Aprilia has just unveiled a limited-edition RS 660 that features some minor technical and aesthetic updates.

Inspired by the American Motorcyclist Association’s (AMA) success in the United States’ AMA National Road Racing Championship, in which Aprilia won the Twins cup, the limited-edition RS 660 gets some exciting tweaks.

According to the Italian firm, the RS660 gets an electronically adjustable gearbox that can be set to an inverted pattern (GP shift) similar to the bike used in racing.

Limited to 1,500 units, the limited-edition RS 660 also gets a rear seat cowl and enlarged fairing for better airflow and aerodynamics.

Each of the 1,500 units produced has its unique number featured in a badge on the fuel tank.

While some limited edition motorcycles only feature new colours and graphics, Aprilia put their hands into ensuring the AMA-inspired RS 660 is unique in its own way.

Nonetheless, zero changes are done to the two-cylinder 659cc engine, which continues to offer 100hp @ 10,500rpm and 67Nm @ 8,500rpm.
