Like all the years before, the GSX-R would have been better, lighter, stronger and faster. But on the race track in Rijeka, the Suzuki revealed its full potential. The standard chassis worked simply and perfectly right from the start. The competition will cut their teeth on it.

With the RS 660, Aprilia skilfully closes the gap between the small bonsai sports bikes and the mighty superbikes. Thanks to its comfortable seating position and gimmicks such as cruise control, the new Italian mid-range can cope very well with everyday life, but the lively engine and the high-quality chassis with good suspension elements can also be ridden in a really sporty manner. The brakes are somewhere in between and the electronics could not be more comprehensive. Finally, the RS 660 sets new standards in design and refuses to be categorised in any way.
