- Join me as I ride the bargain RS660 to find out everything wrong with it and make a plan to put it all right.
Is it as bad as the low price and rusty, slack chain suggest?

I'm 60, have cancer, but bought a Factory '23 Tuono 660 the day before I was informed!
So, I love the fact that you're getting through it
Hope the treatment is going well and you're able to enjoy that nice bike of yours!
The RS660 is one of the best in the class and a gorgeous bike too. It might be a simple fix getting the quickshift/auto blipper sorted, but you may have to seek advice and/or help from an Aprilia dealer
I did manage to fix that in this video

More to come!
That SC exhaust is bloody awful , I’m glad I stuck with the original on mine
@@markunsworth7347 I agree! I think I've upset all the rowdy boys by telling them it's obnoxious 😂
The RS660 inspired me aged 40 to finally complete my motorcycle licence in 2021.
I ended up buying a 2019 CB650R. (Sensible choice)
I'm just too scared to commit to buying one. The reputation has completely ruined the idea of owning one.
I do baby this more than my previous Japanese bikes.
I've learnt about all the weak points.
I've re-torqued all the bolts and fixings and have tie-wired the oil pressure relief valve.
Fingers crossed 🤞
Plenty of guys that have run 20k miles and more without issue 👍
But I do agree, the Honda is a safe bet, especially if you are new to riding!
I need to get off my push bike and get into motorbikes.
Push bikes are my first love. Motorbike are my second.
Don't tell my wife and kids that they are third and fourth. 😂
Hello mate! I want to buy an Aprilia RS660 with 10k KMS the owner it’s saying he had an recall for something about the valves idk, and no problem since then, what do u think? Any problems with 2021 i should avoid it?
The owners group seem to think that only a very small handful of 2021 bikes were affected by quality control issues. Can't remember the date range but I know my bike is a good 6 months after some issues were resolved at the factory.
I've been riding mine nearly every day and no issues yet and the owners group is full of people who have done loads of miles without problem.
@@UpsideDownFork this one is like 07.2021? I should go see it? You said something about tighen bolts and something about oil pan ? What i should do to avoid problems
@@RORider18 I think 07.2021 is well beyond the early batch of bad bikes.
Most people just seem to check the bolts over at every service.
Get yourself a little torque wrench if you don't have one already 👍
@@UpsideDownFork Which bolts we talking about?
@@RORider18 Engine case and oil pan bolts.
I’ve never ridden a bike before so I was thinking about a Vespa might be an option for me being older also probably good enough for me , have you ever ridden a Vespa or any scooter ?
Yep. Great fun and really practical!
My wife rides hers every day. She's had a 50cc Vespa, 125cc Vespa and now her 150cc Peugeot that you can see here:

@@UpsideDownFork just watched it never heard of a Peugeot scooter before, sorry but I heard you mention acf50, never heard of that either good for rust you said I think , are the Vespa scooter any good then ?
@@kavanobrien6547 ACF50 is a commonly used product in the motorcycle world. There are newer and better products out there now like XCP rust blocker.
Vespa's are good but you pay a premium for the badge. Other brands that are just as established and well built, like Peugeot and others are available for much less money and just as good (better in some areas).
@@UpsideDownFork Funny looked today at the Peugeot scooter after your video you sent me, saw one for £1,000 = 2016 with 3,500 miles and three owners seems strange with little miles having had three owners, just might be me being far too sceptical, as said never ridden a motorcycle or scooter before , are they expensive to insure and are the helmets expensive , I did like the windshield thing on your wives bike, can they fit on all the models , sorry you must be getting fed up with me not knowing very much.
@@kavanobrien6547 There are always people who like the dream of riding a scooter around but find that their expectations don't meet reality. So they ride it a few times and sell it on.
Good helmets start from £100 upwards and these days the choice is extremely vast. J&S or an equivalent motorcycle clothing shop is the place to go to try a few on and find what you like.
Yes, there are small and large windscreens and they can be fitted to all scooters.
Insurance is very cheap, even for a new rider. With a couple of years NCB it will be well under £100 for fully comp insurance on something like this.
100mpg+ is easily achievable.
