Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Yamaha R3
- Design - looks like a proper Japanese sportsbike and will grab a lot of attention
- Versatile engine - tractable enough for city rides and rev-happy enough to enjoy being ridden hard
- Handling - changes direction with minimal efforts and inspires a lot of confidence when tipped into corners
- Comfort - tall clip-ons and a relatively upright riding posture means it’s quite comfortable for a sportsbike
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

Yamaha R3
- Cramped lower body ergonomics - riders above 5’10 will find the lower body ergonomics quite tight
- No features - quickshifter, traction control and every Bluetooth connectivity, the R3’s console misses out on a lot of things that other bikes in the segment offer as standard. All it gets is a digital console and ABS
- A price tag of Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes the R3 a very expensive bike
- The R3 is expensive and not the best value for your money. That said, it’s still a very reliable, fri
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

Yamaha R3 review
Bike is good in handling and performance. Power to weight ratio is good Mileage is average. Speed is great. The panels make aerodynamics very much appealing due to which air drag is a lot more decreased by. Engine is also reliable and power output feels great . Vehicle torque is great but also easy to handle. Throttle response is very much appealing.

Yamaha R3 a great bike.
Yamaha R3 is a great bike, offer smooth performance and stylish design. It's 321 engine delivers great power, While comfort and breaking are impressive. It's a top choice for sports bike lovers. The aggressive styling and build quality make it stand out, while the upright sitting position provides a comfortable riding experience, even on longer rides. I think it's a great bike for all bike lovers.

It was an memorable thing
It was an memorable thing that happened in my life were my Dad presented me a bike on my birthday. And the bike was my one of the dream bike to buy in my life. The dual led headlights and sculpted fuel tank give it a premium, aggressive look. Fuel efficiency is around 40-45 kmpl, depending on riding conditions.

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.
