Aprilia RS 457 – And throughout, sportbike culture in India has always had some presence, with the only change being price or some other parameter. Of course, introducing the Aprilia RS 457 here fills that gap because it is really the bike to feel like a sportbike without all those costs and complications attached to litre-class bikes. All new, the RS 457 is a totally new contender with damn good tricks to completely overthrow the entry-level sportbike segment.
Design And Looks
No entry-level bike can be compared with this type of design, with all the fairings, sharp angles, and aggression in the frontal view to look like a smaller superbike. The LED headlamps and a sporty riding position all scream performance-oriented machine. Most premium and rare in this segment, the looks are more international, giving a sophisticated appeal on the road.
Engine Performance
The greatest star in this construction would be the 457cc parallel twin engine. Very smooth power delivery gives the most exciting responses to the bike. City riding with this engine plays it quite refined and indeed, opens up as a proper cruiser on the highways, agile enough to cut through and overtake any machine pretty quickly. This is a lot for beginners to have, but it offers excitement for the more advanced riders.
Handling And Ride Quality
Standard handling from Aprilia, and the RS 457 stays true to that legacy. The cornering feel is very planted; yes, the suspension is sporty, but far from uncomfortable. Besides balancing in relation to the ride quality with India’s roads, the quick riding complemented strong, well-greased brakes.

Technology And Modern Touches
These modern electronics endow the RS 457 with some traits that have moved it further into a class of its own, well above all other motorcycles. The display is very clear and informative since it provides all the necessary riding information easily. Those feel old-school in sportbikes yet blended with such modern technologies that appeal to today’s riders.
Daily Use And Practicality
Yes, this is a sportbike and the weekend toy only; it was not made by Aprilia. The riding position is slightly sporty, but one would expect it to be quite comfortable for short daily rides. Fuel consumption is most probably pretty decent for an engine of this size, making it somewhat usable.

Thus, the Aprilia RS 457 makes a bold statement in the entry-level sportbike arena. It speaks volumes about how an entry-level or mid-range sportbike can exist in the premium, powerful, and exciting category. RS 457, in fact, seems to redefine the segment from this classification if you’re thinking of getting a motorcycle for the sake of enhancing your skills.
