Pros and watch-outs
ApriliaRS 660
Pros
- Full APRC electronics pack (6-axis IMU, cornering ABS, ATC, AWC) — unmatched in the bracket
- 100 hp / 183 kg dry — best power-to-weight in the sport middleweight segment
- Brembo M4.32 radial brakes + Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II tyres — Panigale V2 spec
- Authentic and differentiating Aprilia racing heritage (54 GP titles, RSV4 WSBK champion)
- A2-restrictable option for fresh A2 licence (official Aprilia kit)
Watch-outs
- Piaggio Maroc network limited to 3 dealers (Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech)
- 100% sport ergonomics — uncomfortable for long urban commutes
- Italian servicing more expensive than a Japanese equivalent (valve clearances every 20,000 km)
- Aprilia MA resale value to be confirmed — market too small for a reliable benchmark
YamahaR7
Pros
- Native A2 — no restrictor needed (73 hp under limit)
- Radical R6-like sport position — genuine A2 sportbike
- Adjustable inverted KYB suspension + radial Brembo brake
- Proven CP2 engine (shared MT-07 / Ténéré 700) = simple parts and service
- The only real A2 supersport under 100k MAD in Morocco
Watch-outs
- Aggressive riding position — tiring for daily long-distance use
- 73 hp insufficient for circuit-track use like Marrakech / Casablanca
- No 6-axis IMU or standard quickshifter (vs Aprilia RS 660 +30k MAD)
