“Aprilia Racing.” Yep, that’s the plan, to race RS660s in the MotoAmerica Twins Cup Championship. Photo courtesy of Hayden Schultz.

One if by land, two if by sea…and it looks like four in crates if by tractor-trailer.

From Twins Cup rider Hayden Schultz comes word, and also photographic evidence, that the much-anticipated Aprilia RS660 twin-cylinder sportbikes are in the U.S. and already in some dealerships.

Schultz informed us that Robem Engineering recently took delivery of the RS660s that they will be converting from streetbikes into Twins Cup-eligible racebikes.

This street-going sportbike will soon be transformed into a Twins Cup racebike. Photo courtesy of Hayden Schultz.

Part of the process will involve MotoAmerica Technical Director Tige Daane, who is working on steps to get the Aprilia RS660 homologated and approved for competition in the MotoAmerica Championship.

More details to come soon, so stay tuned.
