                Pros & Cons

                • Pros
                • Cons
                • 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. You don't need more power.
                  • 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

                  Kawasaki Versys X 300

                  • Refined 300cc parallel-twin motor
                  • 17-litre fuel tank
                  • 184kg kerb weight
                • 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 rear 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

                  Kawasaki Versys X 300

                  • Gets an expensive price tag
                  • Basic instrument console
                  • Lacks tubeless spoked wheels

                  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.

                  Versys X 300 – Chhoti si badi bike!
                  2024 mein li thi yeh bike, ab 18,000+ km chal chuki hai. Highway, ghat, off-road, city – har jagah leke gaya hoon. Engine 39 bhp ka lagta hai chhota par actual mein bohot refined hai, 400-500 km aaram se nikal jaati hai (28-32 kmpl real mileage). Seat thoda hard hai 300+ km ke baad thakan lagti hai, Suspension adventure bike jaisa kaam karta hai. Ground clearance. Brakes decent hain, dual-channel ABS bacha leta hai emergency mein. Cons bhi hain – 6th gear mein 100-120 ke upar thoda vibration aata hai Stock tyres (Metzeler) off-road mein slip kar jaate hain. Service cost thoda high hai Kawasaki ka. Par overall ₹4 - 5 lakh on-road mein jo package milta hai – looks, touring capability, reliability – us hisaab se full paisa vasool bike hai. Agar aap beginner ho ya weekend mein long rides karte ho aur ek lightweight adventure tourer chahte ho, toh dil se recommend karunga.
