Rider Profile

Best ForThis 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.
PurposeIt'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 FitThe 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.
CharacterAgile, light, and eager to change direction, this bike rewards smooth inputs and flowing cornering lines more than brute acceleration.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for riders wanting high-speed highway overtakes, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.
