Rider Profile
| Best For | This restricted-power variant of the RS 660 is well suited to newer licence holders or those on power-capped licences who still want sharp sportbike handling. |
| Purpose | It's built primarily for spirited cornering and sporty road riding rather than outright top-end speed, thanks to the detuned 46.9 HP twin in a lightweight chassis. |
| Rider Fit | The low, compact chassis and moderate seat height make it accessible, though the sporty riding position still puts noticeable weight on the wrists during long stints. |
| Character | Agile, light, and eager to change direction, this bike rewards smooth inputs and flowing cornering lines more than brute acceleration. |
| Not Ideal For | It's not the right choice for riders wanting high-speed highway overtakes, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability. |
