Perhaps it’s an understatement to say that many are awaiting the appearance of the production Aprilia RS660 since its launch two years ago at EICMA.
But to be more specific, many enthusiasts are eagerly hoping that the middleweight sportbike will be affordable, compared to the fully-loaded RSV4. That’s before mentioning that the RS660 looks beautiful and purposeful.
We’ve been following its development progress since then, first seeing it being tested on the track but there’s been no further news since then.
Lately however, the bike was spotted undergoing road testing on the road. The test mule wore complete bodywork, sans paint and markings. But more importantly, it wasn’t equipped with data logging equipment. According to Visordown, this meant that the bike was being tested in final production form.
Also noteworthy is the Honda CBR650R next to it. Now, we’re not sure if the two riders knew each other, but they did, it meant that Aprilia was testing the bike against a rival in the same category. Honda claims that the CBR650R’s inline-Four engine produces a healthy 70 kW (approximately 94 hp) and 64 Nm of torque. On the other hand, Aprilia says that they are aiming for the RS660’s parallel-Twin to pump out “more than 100 hp.”
We shall see what happens next from the manufacturer from Noale.

While the motorcycling world was closely watching the launch of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 and Kawasaki Z H2, the MV Agusta Rush 1000 was akin to a bomb dropped on all of them.
It started out as just a styling exercise for the Italian firm. However, they decided to turn it into production – albeit a limited run.
The bike will feature both MotoGP and Formula 1 technology, including a 1000cc, inline-Four engine with radial valve arrangement (they are set all around the head, rather than pairing them in different locations). This boosts engine power to 208 hp. Not enough for you? Then you should purchase the Rush Racing Kit to bump it up to 212 hp.
The kit also includes a titanium exhaust system, a carbon fibre passenger seat cover and obviously, a remapped engine ECU. The use of carbon fibre parts drops the wet weight from 186 kg to 184 kg.
The MV Agusta Rush 1000 is already equipped with 8-level traction control, launch control, anti-wheelie electronics, electronic Öhlins suspension and Brembo Stylema front brake calipers. The manufacturer claims a top speed of “over 300 km/h.”
Customers in the UK and Europe are set to receive their orders beginning June 2020. Only 300 will be made.
