The Piaggio Group had a big display at this year’s show. Aprilia in particular had a few models on display like the Tuareg and SR GT. However, the star of the show is the Italian brand’s newest small-displacement model, the RS 457.
Aprilia’s smallest sportbike was on display at EICMA this year, and the newest RS in the line got a bit of attention from onlookers. While the RS 457’s pre-order books are open and the prices have been revealed in North America, EICMA was the first time that the brand has publicly displayed the bike for show-goers to see and feel in person. For a bike that costs about $7,000 USD, the brand will appeal to beginner sportbike riders or experienced riders who just want a smaller bike.
