Most Anticipated 2021 Motorcycles

Wed, 30 Dec 2020

In a typical year, your friendly Motorcycle.com staff would have already attended several new bike introductions with others under embargo and secretly waiting on our calendar deep within the bowels of the MO Tower’s security center. (Look to the east of the Nakatomi Plaza, and there we are.) Unfortunately, the end of 2020 is pretty dry, and the beginning of 2021 isn’t looking any better for travel to test out new machinery. What this means for you, our readers, is that you’ll likely learn about how the 2021 motorcycle models perform a little later than usual because we’ll have to wait for the production models to arrive Stateside.

2021 Aprilia RS660 Track Review

Thu, 24 Dec 2020

Half of an RSV4, but just as much fun Credit: Photos by Caliphotography | Videos by Sean Matic Even before I first rode the Aprilia RS660, I feared this would finally be the bike that made my beloved Suzuki SV650 obsolete. Other bikes have tried – namely the Kawasaki Z/Ninja 650 and Yamaha’s MT-07 – but none have truly made me believe the ‘ol SV’s time in the spotlight was done. 2021 Aprilia RS660 Editor Score: 87.0% Engine 18.5/20 Suspension/Handling 12.0/15 Transmission/Clutch 8.5/10 Brakes 8.5/10 Instruments/Controls 4.0/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 9.0/10 Appearance/Quality 9.5/10 Desirability 9.5/10 Value 7.5/10 Overall Score 87/100 But the RS660 has come frighteningly close.

Church of MO: 2010 Aprilia RSV4 R Review

Sun, 06 Dec 2020

And after the world wailed and gnashed its teeth in vain for a decade or two, waiting for Honda to produce a kimono-lifting V-Four sportbike, Aprilia finally did the deed in 2009, and all the children did sing. In 2010, the Romans of Noale did the world an even bigger solid by making a $5000-cheaper version, the RSV4R, that anyone could afford. Unfortunately the actual MSRP is lost to history, as no one could be assed to provide a simple spec chart in those days.

Chinese Aprilia Flat Tracker Revealed in Design Filings (UPDATE: It's an FB Mondial)

Fri, 27 Nov 2020

UPDATE: The mystery of the Chinese-Italian flat tracker has been solved. The bike already exists, but as neither a Piaggio or a Zongshen. Instead, it was released this summer under the storied FB Mondial brand as the Flat Tracker 125.

2021 Aprilia RS660 First Ride Review - Video

Fri, 13 Nov 2020

Thoughts on Aprilia's newest platform, now in video form Videos by Kurt Wallrath, Sean Matic Without a doubt, the 2021 Aprilia RS660 was the motorcycle I most anticipated riding this year, thanks in no small part because I first saw the bike in person over a year ago and salivated over the chance to ride it ever since. No, it’s not a Ducati Superleggera or Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, but between the three, this is probably the motorcycle I’d actually own. Why?

2021 Aprilia RS660 Review - First Ride

Mon, 26 Oct 2020

Putting the fun back into middleweights Credit: Photos by Kevin Wing I knew this day would come eventually. I didn’t expect it to take so long, but I suppose good things like the Aprilia RS660 are worth waiting for. You see, as an owner of a Suzuki SV650 that’s almost of legal drinking age (and a former Kawasaki Versys 650 owner), I have a soft spot for bikes in this middleweight category.

Everything You Want To Know About The Aprilia RS660 (Except What It's Like To Ride)

Fri, 16 Oct 2020

Full tech details of Aprilia's exciting new platform. At long last, Aprilia has finally taken the wraps off the highly-anticipated RS660. The first model on a platform intended to be used for years to come, not unlike the RSV4, the RS660 clearly takes some cues from its superbike sibling.

Limited Edition Aprilia Tuono V4 X First Look

Fri, 28 Aug 2020

On the heels of its uber exclusive RSV4 X winged wonder, Aprilia announced a naked version with the Tuono V4 X. As with the RSV4 X, the Tuono version is designed only for track use and will be produced in very limited numbers. Only 10 units of the RSV4 X were made, and all were scooped up in a few hours after online orders were opened, but Aprilia hasn’t announced how many Tuono V4 X models will be made.

Church of MO: 2010 Literbike Shootout

Sun, 28 Jun 2020

An Italian and a German walk into a bar… wait, Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. Ten years ago, two serious new players from Europe appeared on our shores, intent on upsetting the 1000 cc Japanese applecart. “Inhaling slower bikes like the way an ’84 Seville’s radiator grill consumes flies,” these intoxicatingly fabulous sportbikes – especially the winner of this epic contest – reset the course to where we find ourselves today, which is to say, without a Literbike Shootout.
