        The engine is solid and performs well. The looks are decent, though the paint job could use some improvement. The display occasionally blinks, but overall quality is acceptable coming from Piaggio. It’s an incredibly affordable 457cc bike. While Kawasaki might be more popular, it's rare to see another Aprilia around town — which makes it feel unique.

        The Aprilia RS 457 offers impressive performance for an entry-level sport bike. The 457cc twin-cylinder engine delivers just the right amount of power for both new and experienced riders. It’s quick off the line and handles well, especially in corners. I’ve found the power delivery to be smooth, making it easy to manage in both city riding and weekend twists.
