KIWI RIDER’S MOST
ANTICIPATED BIKES OF 2020
Y
es another year has rolled upon us and while we may be feeling just a little bit older, at least
there is a good number of new motorcycles heading our way to help us feel young again.
Here are just some of the bikes landing on NZ shores in 2020 that we can’t wait to swing a leg over!
APRILIA RS 660
Aprilia looks set to reignite the 650cc class of
sportbikes with their soon to land RS 660. With
an all-new parallel-twin engine based around the
forward bank of cylinders from Aprilia’s legendary
V4 at its centre and matched to a cutting edge
chassis, the RS 660 is poised to inject some serious
performance into a segment that has been quite
neglected in recent years. On top of an already
impressive power to weight ratio, Aprilia also has
packed the RS660 with class-leading electronics
14 KIWI RIDER
to ensure it rides at the pointy end of the field.
Equipped with a 6-axis IMU, the RS660 boasts the
full shebang of Aprilia riding aids including Aprilia’s
Traction Control, Anti Wheelie Control to keep
the bike’s performance in check, while practical
inclusions range from cruise control to multiple
riding maps and a quick shifter.
Seriously, this is going to be an incredibly
fun bike to attack both the track and
your favourite backroad loop on.
