Ok, maybe this isn’t so random. I’ve been drooling over the Aprilia RS660 since it was introduced at EICMA 2019 just months after I ordered my AP MotoArts FZ-07R. After 5 seasons of racing the FZ, I was gonna try to go one or two more, but I needed an engine rebuild. I could see from the data I was losing power on the high end and that was evident visually in my fight with Jeff Rose to end the AFM season. Unfortunately, after the engine was taken apart, I got word from the BPR mechanics at Kern County Powersports that there was damage on the inside of the engine cases. Something had certainly gotten in there that wasn’s supposed to, and the consequence for me was that the cost to repair the engine was going to be more than the bike was worth. I didn’t hesitate to stick a fork in the FZ. It was time to finally go after the bike that had beaten me down so many straight aways.

So, let me introduce Apollonia Aprilia, as she looked when I acquired her and raced her at the January 2026 round of CVMA.

And naturally redone in Random Racing purple in time for the 2026 AFM season.
