            • Could do with better tyres
            • Front suspension should have been adjustable
            • Could’ve gotten better fit and finish quality

            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
