No other details have been offered from the Italian brand. The standard Aprilia RS660 is fitted with five riding modes – Commute, Individual, Dynamic, Challenge, and Time-Attack. So, it will be interesting to see if the middleweight sports bike will have the same electronics as the standard version.
