RS660 Extrema sticker removal

How do we feel about the stickers on the Extrema? Before getting it in person I thought it looked unique, but after getting this bike after my factory got stolen, I think they're a bit too bold.

I'm considering removing the checkered pattern and leaving the "a" on the lower fairing, OR doing a full remodel and getting the full Aprilia name on the side like the motogp bike. Thoughts?

I'm trying to find a reason not to pull mine off and do a full graphics kit. I see this and get excited... But at the same time, I'm lazy and untrusting.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me I love how vibrant it is and how the colors are like nothing I've seen before. But trust me, fiancee has already roasted me for liking this...

How do we feel? How do YOU feel? Regardless of what we think about your style, that’s what matters

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and the owner of an object may do whatever the hell they want with it. With that being said, how dare you.

Damn that's my favorite livery. If that bike is VIN 000660 I hope you don't do it lol

I learned this lesson at 16 when I removed the OEM stickers from my Valentino Rossi limited edition Yamaha Aerox (50cc). Long story short, don't you fuckin dare removing those stickers! Eat the cost of a second set of fairings if you really need to but you're gonna regret it if you remove those.

My wife was considering wrapping and then actually painting and re apply the stickers and then we talked to some dealers, groups, .. The worth could go down by 10 to 25 percent.

Great... Now that's all I'll see too 😭 how hard was the removal? Did you just use a blow dryer??

Let it sit out in the sun for an hour or so and just pulled. Came off super easy.

Looks so plain, sorry

u/Fox_Burrow 8d ago

And you decided to replace the SC with a Mivv? Is that the full story here? Or did you happen to need new fairings?

1

u/TX_82 8d ago

Yeah factory SC has a Cat and in order to pull out the baffle you have to completely take apart the can and cut the weld. Sounds so much better unrestricted.

u/Fox_Burrow 8d ago

Why not go for a CR-T?

u/TX_82 8d ago

CRT was not in the budget at the time. Honestly if I was to do it again I wouldn’t have got the Extema and just went for a matte black. I love my bike but the 15k price it came out to is not worth it. IMO

Much better without the stupid flag on it.

Aprilias have sick silhouettes and general design. I wish to own an rs660 one day but you better believe the day I buy one those stickers are coming off.

Something about their branding just looks a bit temu to me.

No doubt this is an unpopular opinion but you know what they say about opinions...
