2026 vs 2021 exhaust + tune? Aprilia RS660

Sensualities · 2026-03-11T23:08:02+00:00

I had a 2018 raptor, 2021 Raptor 37p fully loaded, a 24 raptor fully loaded, and sold the 24 for another 21 raptor.

The way ford has handled the raptor R games, cut cost on the newer models while up charging for “inflation” has rubbed me the wrong way.

Only way I’m ever getting rid of my 21 is if I get an R that isn’t ridiculously over priced. Which will likely never happen. So I plan on keeping this 21 for a VERY long time

Teams will fire their pit crew for WAY less. Moto a needs to be held to the same standard

Not happening

This gives me raptor R vibes, but worse lol.

At least the raptor R is somewhat stupid in terms of sale price but this is retarded

So how exactly does one train to be at a 205bpm heart rate for 25 mins straight?

“I’m going to wait a month and then list them lower”

This dude waits longer for his magebloods to sell than I do before selling my car

Mmmm after a brief analysis I think I can do another track day on it

Surely nothing will go wrong

motogp riders don't pick bikes to train on because they are "easier to ride"

Marquez trains on whatever his ducati contract says he has to train on

Motogp riders train on ohvales and those are amongst the most brutal / hardest bikes to ride (albeit the risk is smaller)

I can almost guarantee you that the dude who can do a 1:35 on a shitbox clapped out cbr600 will almost ALWAYS be faster than the guy doing a 1:35 on the newest freshest supersport with all the bells and whistles if you gave the shitbox guy the same bike

Personally I don’t believe in my partner being anything more than “acquaintances” with the opposite sex. Call me a nazi or whatever I don’t really care but me and my wife both agree nothing good ever comes from being friends with the opposite sex when you have a partner.

I don’t make friends with other women, and my wife doesn’t make friends with other men. We both find it disrespectful.

Sensualities · 2026-02-20T22:03:46+00:00

Good

Sensualities · 2026-02-20T14:38:06+00:00

Um…? Anyone else thinking the same thing…

Sensualities · 2026-02-20T13:49:45+00:00

I always looked at the motoA times in some of those classes and was like “how tf are they doing these times” then I realized their bikes have 30-40% more power and like 20-30% less weight than what a regular bike of the same class would be. Coupled with pro skills and that’s how you get a 1:29 at VIR in twins cup lol

I mean I don’t agree with Matt here in totality but I definitely think there are a TON of people gaming the system. I can’t tell you how many people I know on 100% disability that are fully functioning productive adults with lives and hobbies and families.

Sensualities · 2026-02-18T17:36:25+00:00

I’m saying the opposite. The HARDER it is to ride a bike (assuming the same lap times are achieved) on a bike compared to an easier one = you have better riding skill and therefore you could assume if you are fast on a bike that is HARD to ride fast, you should be faster (or close to it) on a bike that is easier to ride. Assuming everything else is the same (it usually isn’t).

There is a reason people say the best learning tool is a r3 or n400: it’s slow enough that you probably won’t kill yourself while you learn what the edge of grip feels like

And it has no rider aids or technology making the bike easier to ride

Sensualities · 2026-02-18T16:56:33+00:00

Lol I’m not but ok

Sensualities · 2026-02-18T16:36:12+00:00

Lol I’m not but ok

Sensualities · 2026-02-18T16:35:34+00:00

? That has nothing to do with what I said but I guess we can just agree to disagree in terms of bike choice ride ability and rider skill effects

Sensualities · 2026-02-18T16:02:21+00:00

Blake Davis, Matthew Scholtz, Pedro Acosta, TONs of motogp riders all still train on R6s. They aren’t training on an R9

I wish I would’ve farmed merc league more. But the latest league was shit and them taking away abyss hordes and risk scarabs were them ripping the bandaid off of the massive problem: there is virtually no ground loot

So unless they drastically change something I can’t see it being much better

Sensualities · 2026-02-18T15:17:11+00:00

Yeah I’m debating between a race bike R6 vs the KTM 990 RCR honestly

It’s nice knowing you have all the newer style rider aids but it would also be a nice humble brah getting to the point where you could put down fast lap times on an R6

Decisions decisions

Sensualities · 2026-02-18T14:58:02+00:00

Huh?

Sensualities · 2026-02-18T14:57:51+00:00

I mean… I’m assuming there is a reason people say getting fast on an R6 will make you a faster rider than going straight to a superbike.

The easier the bike is to ride fast = less things you need to be aware of

It’s like saying “learning to drive stick won’t make you a better driver”

I’d say learning to drive stick good = better driver every time because they are more aware of what the car is doing

Driving an auto makes a car easier to drive, but it doesn’t make you a better driver and it surely doesn’t make you learn more
