“The new Aprilia RS 660 has an inadequate engine”

Dear Paolo, let’s go in order: the RS660 is born accessible in terms of price and performance also because it has not chosen to complicate its life with technological hazards. When you talk about sporty twins “mistreated” by history, you forget that Ducati, for example, with this division (albeit with a different architecture) has written epic pages of Superbike.

Finally, the engine to be purchased from third parties: in the past Aprilia had no problems in drawing from external manufacturers for its engines (Franco Morini, Hiro, Minarelli, Piaggio, Rotax and Suzuki), but today it is a company able to range from simple single-cylinder 125 cc to sophisticated 1,100 cc V4 with great autonomy. So why turn to others?
