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.

The segment Killer
Aprilia RS457 is a pocket rocket, with a 2-Cylinder engine having great top end! Freaking 190 kmph of top speed. What bike offers such speed under 4.5 lacs. You want the best bike under your budget? Close your eyes and just go for it! You'll not regret the decision! Light Weight, Super Handling, Fuel Efficient!!
