Used Buyer Review

The RS 660 is genuinely one of the most exciting middleweights to land in years, and used prices have finally dropped to where it makes serious sense. That parallel twin punches hard between 6,000-10,000rpm, the chassis is properly sorted, and it looks like nothing else in your mate's garage. Aprilia got something right here — it rides bigger than its displacement suggests without the intimidation of a litre bike. That said, go in with eyes open. Early 2021 examples had known ECU gremlins and throttle-by-wire hiccups that dealers were slow to address. Always check service history obsessively and verify any recall work was completed. The slipper clutch is excellent but the wet clutch can drag when cold — not a fault, just its character. Fairings are fragile and expensive, so inspect every panel for tip-over damage before handing over cash. Budget an extra £500-600 for a proper service if history is patchy. Find a clean 2022 onwards and you're getting a genuinely brilliant machine at a bargain price.
