                  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
                  • 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

                  • Vibrations start to creep in around 4,000rpm
                  • Not a very tractable motor
                  • The clutch is a bit on the heavier side

                  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 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

                  Great bike
                  Bought this bike 6 months ago and done almost 9000km and the bike is running smooth did a little little bit of modification to exhaust now it sounds better than the re650’s. Good performance, very comfortable mileage is not good but enough for a 650cc motorcycle, if anyone is looking for re 650 i would recommend do take a test ride of goldstar you will not regret

                  Very good bike
                  The performance will be just like the classic 650. Even though It has an upward riding position, it's still a comfortable bike. Cannot tell until I know the real price from my area because what I see online isn't always real style and design-wise this would be the coolest bike ever made in India.

                  BEAST FOR REAL
                  The Aprilia RS 457 is a new age supersport which cuts the line between a beginner's bike and a track beast, all while being simple to use. Thanks to its older brother, the RS 660, it provides a taste of power with race like experience, and features along with lethal Italian design. Good Handling...

                  Amazing performance and comfort . A proud owner of rs457 . Have been searching for a hybrid bike with both performance and comfort for a very long time . This bike suited me well for my everyday commute and periodic long rides . The seat height and riding posture is really good and comfortable compared with other bike of the segment.

                  Review about rs457
                  It is a preety good bike.The power to weigh ratio is absolute best. The service experience is quite good and I think it could be better.There is no vibration in this bike. Overall experience is very good With this price point. I think it should have come with a quick shifter normally not with the additional options.. That's it.
