The recently released official video of
the Aprilia RS 660 reveals a handful of details of the upcoming motorcycle.
However, most of the features of the new middleweight Aprilia were already
known thanks to the several spy shots and the leaked brochure. The only new
information that has been revealed in the footage is that the Aprilia RS 660
international pre-bookings will commence from next month.

the international pre-bookings of the motorcycle will begin from October.

Powering the Aprilia RS 660 is a 660cc parallel-twin
engine which has a forward-facing configuration. This enabled the Italian
company to keep the overall size of the powerplant as small as possible. It
also allowed the engineers to exploit the spaces and create a slim, lightweight
chassis. The liquid-cooled motor is capable of producing 100 hp and will also
be used in the Aprilia Tuono 660. In terms of electronic rider aids, the RS 660
will get the latest generation APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package
that includes traction control, wheelie control, cruise control, engine brake,
engine map and more such features.
