Piaggio Group Japan has opened orders for the RSV4 Factory and RS 660 Factory, with 12 units of each due to ship from August. The ¥3.63 million RSV4 combines a 220hp 1,099cc V4 with predictive electronics, while the ¥1.98 million RS 660 makes 105hp, weighs 183kg and uses Öhlins suspension at both ends.
From what I have seen at the track, the key is that the RSV4’s predictive system intervenes before the front wheel rises, not after. With 220hp on the road, natural intervention matters more than the headline speed. The RS 660 also gets Öhlins at both ends and a six-axis IMU. With only 12 of each, take one to a circuit and feel the control for yourself.

With only 12 each, demo bikes may be scarce. I would want to feel the Öhlins difference first.
Predictive AWC that acts before a wheelie could be valuable if it feels natural on the road.
A different world from old V4s without electronics. I still want to test how natural it feels.
¥1.98 million and ¥3.63 million are both expensive, but they serve completely different purposes.
The RS 660 Factory makes 105hp at 183kg. The balance looks good even on paper.
The RSV4’s 220hp and Shakedown Indigo paint—those 12 units could disappear instantly.
But if you want to use the power, isn’t the 660 more realistic? 220hp needs very specific places.
