Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kawasaki Ninja 300
- Butter smooth parallel-twin engine
- Attractive pricing
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
- Price - at Rs 4.10 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), it is the mo

Kawasaki Ninja 300
- Lack of features compared to its competition
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

Overall honest review.
Very comfortable and powerful. Very smooth on higher gears too. I just loved it. In 300 cc segments, Kawasaki Ninja is best as japnese makes the best machine. I took a test drive of it, honestly the older japnese made in imported were next level and better than new model. I would definitely love to buy it. Kawasaki is the goat!

Overall it is very good
It is one of the best bikes in this segment for performance. It is a bit on the comfortable side. Maintenance cost is ok . It is very fast though for a 300 cc bike. The clutch is a bit stiff which is not bad but for long rides may cause discomfort. The mileage is good for Highway and thee city.overall it is very good and very pleased to have it

RS 457 - Bike that does it all
I bought this bike last year in December and man this bike is an absolute bang for the money. Before this, I had an RS 200 and man the difference in power, features and comfort is so noticeable. I ride this bike on a daily basis and I am 100% satisfied with its performance and mileage. Though I don't ride it recklessly or full throttle very often but when I do it simply puts a big smile on my face and pumps up the adrenaline bar to its max. Overall, its a very good bike and will definitely put a smile to your face whenever you ride it.

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...
