You Can Buy ALL Of These 650cc Bikes For The Price Of One Aprilia RS 660!

Just a couple of days ago, the Aprilia RS 660 was launched in India and we all baulked at its massive price tag of Rs 17,74,000 (ex-showroom Delhi). And that got us thinking about the number of different bikes you can own for that money. Well, it turns out you can build quite a stunning three-bike garage of sub-660cc bikes for the price of one RS 660! Let’s take a look at those bikes below:

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 - Rs 3,03,000 (ex-showroom)

The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 will be the perfect companion for your daily commutes in your three-bike garage. The 648cc, inline twin-cylinder engine has ample bottom-end grunt which will be apt for moving through busy traffic scenarios. And on an open stretch of road, you can open the pipes for some growling in-line twin-cylinder fun as the retro roadster is decently fast too (compared to the rest of the bikes mentioned in this piece). The price mentioned above is for the base variant with spoke wheels and for an additional Rs 14,000, you can get it with alloy wheels.  

Kawasaki Versys 650 - Rs 7,77,000 (ex-showroom)

The Kawasaki Versys 650 can be the one that takes care of your touring needs. The long travel suspension will take care of bumps and potholes with ease and combined with the upright riding position, the versatile adventure tourer offers a very comfortable riding experience even while covering long distances on the highway. And the 649cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine will let you cruise at speeds of 120-130kmph all day long.  

Triumph Trident 660 - Rs 8,12,000 (ex-showroom)

Coming to the third bike of that three-bike garage, the Triumph Trident 660 can be the party piece of the lineup. It will appeal to the aspirational side of you with the beautiful, sleek design and the sculpted fuel tank (not that the other two bikes are not aesthetically pleasing). And the 660cc, liquid-cooled, inline three-cylinder engine with the great top-end performance will be perfect for those weekend rides and for having fun on the mountain twisties. 

Now, we know that after adding up the prices of the three bikes, the total value comes down to Rs 18,92,000, which is about Rs 1,18,000 more than the Aprilia RS 660’s price tag. But for forking out that extra amount, you’ll be able to own three fantastic sub-660cc bikes that will take care of all your different needs on two-wheels! 

• Suzuki Hayabusa 25th Anniversary Celebration Edition Launched In India

• BREAKING: 2024 Triumph Tiger 900 GT And Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro Launched In India

• Next-Gen Triumph Street Triple 765 Spied; Daytona 765 Might Be A Reality

But if you don’t want to get a three-bike garage and rather buy just one bike for that price tag, you can go for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. And oh, it is Rs 95,000 more affordable than the RS 660! Just imagine, you are getting a litre-class bike that costs less than the Italian 660cc supersport. The ZX-10R offers all the screaming fun associated with a 998cc, liquid-cooled, inline four that produces its peak power output of 203PS at 13,200rpm. Also, the superbike comes loaded with features like a TFT instrument console with smartphone connectivity, four riding modes, cruise control, winglets and much more. 

So, whether you want to buy three sub-660cc bikes or a litre-class Japanese supersport for the price of a single RS 660, there are multiple options you can choose from. So, which one will you go for?
