Aprilia Tuono 457 Price Hiked: Gets A LOT Costlier
The Italian middleweight naked bike now cost around Rs 28,000 more than before
Quick Highlights:
-
Price increased by Rs 28,894, to be precise
-
Earlier, the brand had announced that it would absorb the GST 2.0 impact
-
It wasn’t a long term solution, so it’s not very surprising to see the prices go up now.
Aprilia India has revised the pricing of its middleweight naked motorcycle, the Tuono 457. Earlier, the brand had announced that it would absorb all the impact of the GST 2.0 revision, to keep the ex-showroom price the same, which was Rs 3,95,000 (ex-showroom Maharastra). At the time, the brand was also offering a free quickshifter worth Rs 20,500 with the bike. Brands absorbing GST hikes were a temporary measure, as it will not be sustainable in the long run. Hence, the price was bound to go up sooner or later, so it’s not surprising that the Aprilia Tuono 457 has now gotten a lot costlier.
The Aprilia Tuono 457 is now listed at Rs 4,23,894 (ex-showroom, Maharashtra) on the official website, making it exactly Rs 28,894 more expensive than before. The magnitude of the hike may come across as shocking for some, but target buyers will not feel it to be a deal-breaking hike as it is the only parallel-twin streetfighter in the 400-500cc segment. The closest equally powerful (but single-cylinder) alternative is the KTM Duke 390. Here is how the Tuono 457 competes with the KTM 390 Duke in images.
Despite the price hike, the Tuono 457 continues to offer a strong overall package. It is powered by a 457cc parallel-twin engine that delivers punchy performance, making it suitable for both city riding and highway touring. The bike also gets modern features such as ride-by-wire, multiple riding modes, traction control, and a 5-inch TFT console with smartphone connectivity. Its sharp design and sporty riding position further add to its appeal.

Stance and appearance. it was expensive but the test ride felt awesome, the engine was punchy but i had concerns about mileage, but the thrill it gives way above all the expenses that occur. I personally use it as daily but my dad uses it sometimes, says he gets little scared due to acceleration. It's a punchy engine making it fun for rides with friends and also a tractable engine for daily runs. It has 2 downsides which, i think must be fixed, the suspension does not feel good (prolly due to Bangalore roads). and brake works good but does not feel good. yes, i would recommend this bike, especially for enthusiasts. its a good daily (except low mileage) and a fun highway bike. I just love to ride it. It fills you with spirit and if there is a feeling i would like others to have its this.Read More
one of the best bikes i use for speeding,best comfort gets to 100 kms in just 5 seconds,i cant believe a bike with such a fast throttle and pickup giving mileage of 30 kms its out of my mind,maintenance cost is appreciable service and parts available all over India no need for waiting parts just go to aprilla showroomRead More

My brother bought this bike a few months ago and it is excellent, in simple this bike is so comfortable to compare to Apache and BMW 310 r, its ride quality and speed, torque are great and the handling when you are at high speed is very smooth which is why i definitely recommend you to buy this bike. Also, I live in a tier 1 city but I only see some of these bikes in rare locations so you have something great and uniqueRead More
