                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Honda CB500

                  • Strong torque output of 43.3 Nm
                  • Multiple variant options to suit different buyer preferences

                  Aprilia RS 457

                  • Looks – looks sporty, aggressive and premium. Good build quality and sharp design mean it attracts a lot of attention
                  • Engine – lots of torque throughout the rev range makes commuting very easy. Quick overtakes even in a gear higher are effortless. You don't need more power.
                  • Tyres – the TVS Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyres are fantastic both in dry and wet conditions, no complaints there
                  • Features – the TFT console is user-friendly and offers a lot of useful information
                • Honda CB500

                  • Instrument console isn’t that feature-packed

                  Aprilia RS 457

                  • Riding posture – the clip-on handlebar is low-set and on the committed side, not the best for everyday commuting
                  • Firm rear suspension – the RS 457's rear monoshock is on the firmer side and lighter riders will be tossed around a bit when going through potholes and sharp speed breakers
                  • Reliability – the RS 457 is coming out of a factory that's never made a bike before so its reliability and how Aprilia handles its after-sales service is yet to be seen

                  amazing beast just go for it
                  Just go for it. In this price rs 457 is best in segment. Love you Aprilia, riding experience shocked me. Power of this bike is insane. I don't think in this price any bike will close to Aprilia. Breaks are awesome, works smoothly, looks of this bike is like 1000cc bike, top speed is 200+ and this is cool.

                  Aprilia RS 457 Ownership Review
                  It is the best choice for a budget super sport bike and looks aggressive with a lot of torque and power. The twin cylinder engine is very tractable and the overall ride experience is fun! Definitely a head turner. The bike is very smooth and the engine is very responsive. The posture is a bit demanding so would avoid in traffic jams and long rides. The power is just amazing, a twist of the throttle and before you know it you are reaching triple digit speeds. This is a pure red bike and would only suggest it to those who are genuinely in need of the power upgrade and will ride the bike the way it is meant to. For beginners and clout chasers would definitely recommend to stay away from this bike.
