Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda NX500
- The linear initial power delivery makes it quite easy to ride
- Design looks quite rugged and makes the bike look good
- The ride quality is quite plush
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

Honda NX500
- Fails to distinguish itself from the CB500X which it replaced
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

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.

Best bike under 5 lakhs
The posture of bike is too agressive so the beginners might face issues like back pain and neck pain . The looks and performance of the bike is tooo goodd and is a best option for bikes under 5 lakhs . If you are a college student or a true bike enthusiast please go for it as you have very less good options under this budget.
