On September 7, 2023, Aprilia turned heads in the global motorcycle market with the launch of the Aprilia RS 457 at the Misano round of the MotoGP. This small displacement sportbike is creating quite a buzz, and it's clear that it's following in the footsteps of its bigger, more performance-focused siblings, the RS 660 and RSV4 1100.
The Aprilia RS 457 stands as the latest addition to the esteemed Noale company's lineup. Interestingly, it is manufactured at Aprilia's factory in India, likely in a move to make it more affordable to a wider audience. That being said, the new sportbike has just been launched in the Indian market. It’s worth noting that the Indian-spec model closely resembles the one unveiled at Misano, showcasing a global design consistency.
