Introducing the 2022 Aprilia RS 660 Limited, a sport motorcycle that embodies the spirit of racing while offering the versatility needed for everyday riding. This limited-edition beauty, restricted to just 1,500 units, is designed for enthusiasts who crave a blend of performance, style, and advanced technology. With its striking aesthetics—available in eye-catching color options of red, blue, and white—it stands out in a crowded market, appealing to those who desire not just a bike, but an experience. The RS 660 Limited is positioned as a mid-weight contender, perfectly balancing agility and power, making it ideal for both the track and the road. At the heart of the RS 660 Limited lies a potent 659cc parallel-twin engine, delivering an exhilarating 100 horsepower at 10,500 RPM and a torque of 67 Nm at 8,500 RPM. This power translates into thrilling acceleration and a top speed of 146 mph, ensuring that the adrenaline flows with every twist of the throttle. The bike’s lightweight construction—only 169 kg dry—combined with a six-speed gearbox and a multi-plate wet clutch, offers seamless gear transitions and a responsive riding experience. A well-tuned suspension setup featuring a Kayaba 41mm front fork and an adjustable monoshock at the rear enhances cornering stability and comfort, allowing riders to tackle both tight bends and open straights with confidence. The Aprilia RS 660 Limited is packed with cutting-edge technology that elevates the riding experience. Its six-axis inertial platform provides real-time data to support the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) system, which includes traction control, wheelie control, engine braking, and customizable engine maps. Riders can choose from five distinct riding modes—two of which can be customized—to tailor the bike's performance to their preferences, whether they’re on the road or the racetrack. The Brembo brake system, featuring dual front discs and ABS, ensures powerful stopping power, while the 15-liter fuel tank offers a respectable range, making this machine suitable for both spirited rides and daily commutes. **
