Luxury 100 horsepower twin, anyone? Oh, we’ve been excited for this for a long time… Aprilia’s first model in a range of new middleweights, the RS 660. Okay, it isn’t quite a little RSV4, but then again it’s not aimed at going up against the R6 or the ZX-6R; think more along the lines of…

5th November 2019

Leccy suspension, anyone? We absolutely loved the RSV4 1100 Factory this year, and for bloody good reason; not only is it cracking to ride, but it also narrowly missed out on the top spot of being the Ultimate Sports bike of 2019. Alas, it hasn’t stopped Aprilia who have gone one better for 2020, arming…

178kg dry, 208bhp, double wings, all the electrickery. Where do we sign? Okay, it’s not much of a surprise – indeed, this is one of the most heavily-trailed new bikes of 2020. But it’s still good to see it in the flesh at last. Our man Boothy was in Rimini (that’s a town in the…

14th October 2019

It was always going to be emotional. The final round of my first ever racing season with EMRA in the Bridgestone 500 series was coming to a close. And like the five rounds before it, this was going to be different. The final round ran as a double header, a two-day meet as opposed to…

20th September 2019

First 200bhp adventure bike on the way? When the facts change, we change our minds round here at Fast Bikes Towers. So when ‘adventure bikes’ had like 55bhp at the piston-top, while weighing more than a small Volvo, we poo-pooed them with extreme prejudice.
