The Aprilia RS 660 has been spotted
testing once again. The latest spy shots of the upcoming middleweight
supersport motorcycle reveal a few new details. The latest spy pictures tell us
that two Aprilia RS 660 bikes were out on the roads in Italy for testing. While
both the test bikes look identical, there are some differences between them,
especially in terms of lighting. One of the two motorcycles features a slightly
revised front end with a small circular (possibly) LED light placed in the
middle of the two LED headlamps. It also has side turn indicators integrated
into the rearview mirrors.
These two features are new and weren’t
present in any of the previous spy shots of the motorcycle. Perhaps, there
would be two different variants of the Aprilia RS 660 - a standard model and a
premium model with side turn indicators mounted on the rearview mirrors.
The Aprilia RS 660 was supposed to be
revealed to the public in May this year during the Aprilia Festival in Mugello.
Unfortunately, the event had to be postponed indefinitely because of the
Covid-19 crisis. However, since things are gradually returning to normal now,
the Italian motorcycle company is expected to make an announcement regarding
the launch/reveal of the RS 660 soon.
The production-spec Aprilia RS 660 made
its debut at the 2019 EICMA motorcycle show. It uses a 660cc forward-facing,
liquid-cooled mill which makes 100 HP of power. Aprilia says that the
forward-facing configuration helped it to make the engine as compact as
possible. It also allowed the engineers to exploit the spaces and create a
slim, lightweight chassis. No wonder why the RS 660 weighs 169 kg only.
