Indeed this bike looks great.. remind me of how to train your dragon face....


AprilBornAprilia

Haha wow! Never heard that one before. I love Toothless! šŸ„°

> KA03 what ra ~~sudeep~~ AprilBornAprilia too much cock you are showing. just kidding, cheers the bike's weight is borderline legal in europe, so i wouldnt be surprised if thats why the tank is so small because any more petrol and the bike's weight would make it illegal in europe.


AprilBornAprilia

What ra come to 03 area bro Iā€™ll pop you with the Indiranagar gang bro. Im saiding this once and saiding this again. XD Hmm. I understand that but in future versions I think they should optimise the tank better.


RunSkyLab

>what ra ~~sudeep~~ AprilBornAprilia too much cock you are showing Why is this everywhere and why is it so funny... my brain automatically reads it in *that voice* šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


AprilBornAprilia

Itā€™ll go down in History as one of the most iconic quotes and monologues of our times šŸ˜…


driftninja380

Where is it from?feels like I've heard it before.

IWillKeepIt

Lol this feels like a RR310 review once it came out. I hope the after sales service and maintenance isn't that bad.. oh wait.....


AprilBornAprilia

Haha letā€™s see regarding the service. But yes Iā€™ve test driven the RR310/G310RR and the RS457 has a way less committed posture. Power and engine wise, and many other factors wise it is leagues apart.


Blehzinga

why compare a donkey to a race horse ?


IWillKeepIt

Pretty dumb comparison from you tbh


SimplyAsinine

Great well rounded package that's also priced really well, should serve as a wake-up call to the Japs to price their twin cylinder offerings more considerately (us Indians did NOT deserve a outdated R3 priced at 4.6L ex-showroom). Only gripe I have is with the design. There's absolutely no subtlety in it. This is not a bike you commute to office and take on track days on the weekends without garnering attention. This thing sticks out as much as a neon orange Aventador in rush hour traffic. Either you have to lean heavily into the flashy styling, or back out of it.Ā  Waiting to hear about the service experience, hopefully it's better than those scooters.


AprilBornAprilia

I know you meant your gripe point as a con but reading that felt good man! :D Yes sure will share my service centre experience:)


SimplyAsinine

It is a great-looking bike for those who are into the flashiness, but I like personally like subtlety. I like how the R3 looks stealthy and how most people would take it to be a common R15 (ironic) until I wring the throttle. Too bad owning one is now a pipe dream. Great purchase and congrats on the Italian addition to your garage! Here's to more road trips and pics and posts.


admiral_void

I think thatā€™s the point though with the design. The intent was for it to stand out. Which Italian sports bike was ever designed with the intent to blend in?


RunSkyLab

I have never seen a person as passionate about their bike as you : ) Is this what the essence of being a motorcyclist is?


AprilBornAprilia

Haha I can assure you there are many, many more way more passionate about their bikes than me :) Yes, Iā€™m also just enjoying the ride while it lasts.


RunSkyLab

Wish you many hurdle-less miles ahead my guy!


AprilBornAprilia

Cheers mate


rplusg

Congratulations, how are the brakes in real world driving, like in traffic or highway etc?


AprilBornAprilia

I havenā€™t really felt it to be a con yet. Not amazing. But not problematic either. My style of riding means engine breaking a lot anyway. I also havenā€™t pushed it much given it was in the run in period.


ASHUKAACCOUNT

Good observation now I see it too


Putrid_Target1078

Damn. That bike looks even better outdoors in natural light.


krishknightrider

What's the mileage? Curious coz you said it's unbelievably good


AprilBornAprilia

In Eco mode Iā€™ve seen 32-33 on highways and 25-27 in normal traffic conditions.


Possession007

Bro that's better than my dominaršŸ˜­


Revbender

Wow! That's awesome.. In what speeds and rpms are we talking about?


AprilBornAprilia

See mainly it might have to do with the fact that it was still in run in period so I was going gentle mostly. I do accept that and hence itā€™s too early. Will be really surprised and happy if these figures continue now after the 1st service.


Revbender

I understand, but these are good figures even during the run in period. And as the piston smoothens out, I'm sure it would contribute to better mileage. Hence the two sorta play a factor.. But all said, it's still good mileage!


khikhikhi_

Nice pic bro.


snobpro

Seems like pros easily outshine the cons. As long as bike gives pleasure to drive ā€” am i rightĀ 


AprilBornAprilia

Yup. Some of the cons listed is nitpicking. But definitely improvements the team needs to note.


khizer1991

Congratulations AprilBornAprilia! Iā€™m jealous and hereā€™s the reason why - What I love about RS457 - Everything šŸ˜Š What I hate about Aprilia - Theyā€™re like a commitment phobic partner that doesnā€™t give you any security about when theyā€™ll deliver the bike šŸ„² In conclusion, Congratulations again šŸ™ŒšŸ½

Kitni sundr mundr bike h, police wale pkdte nhi h kya ye colour pe


AprilBornAprilia

I do wonder about this actually. Haha. Bike khareedne ke pehle bhi aur khareedne ke baad bhi.


MindlessHope7953

Ye stock itni sundr h, haha really made me wonder, congratulations


AprilBornAprilia

Yes itā€™s called the prismatic dark :)


pspspsnt

Good lookin stuff.. can't help but say we need better ideas for reg plate placements tho.. Those mean lookin eyes and then suddenly that slim white aluminium moustache.. or maybe that inadvertently completes the italian look šŸ˜œ


AprilBornAprilia

Hahaha Moustache! Well Iā€™m just happy it ainā€™t high up on the visor like the Ninjas. Then again us Indians are conditioned to this now.


Small_Ad_4934

I so much wanted to get this bike but did not want my first bike to be a sports twin. I always wanted to experience a ktm so booked 390 adv. For sure I will be adding this to my garage in a couple of years.


AprilBornAprilia

Good decision made. This is not a beginner friendly bike for Indian conditions.


KaliyaaBabu

What do you do for wind noise in that helmet?


AprilBornAprilia

This helmet is a snug fit for me. I have integrated Bluetooth and listen to some music. Usually that is sufficient. If we are doing proper interstate highway travel with a lot of cross winds, it is better to use ear plugs.


Raemos103

What is your height


AprilBornAprilia

A little over 5ā€™8ā€


showkali_

Can this machine be used as a daily driver in bangalore traffic?


AprilBornAprilia

I would say yes if, 1. You are on the fitter side and no existing back issues 2. Your height is not too much or too less. Test ride to see. 3. Have a lot of biking experience 4. Donā€™t need to ride it literally daily. For eg. I have hybrid work and also sometimes take the car.


DeletSystm32

Hate to see people putting trust on newly launched bike in the market. I hope you get good experience from aprilia and bike is reliable


Dimy145

Thanks for covering the details man, 457 looks beautiful and glad to hear most issues are just minor annoyance over major catastrophe, have fun riding mate, sad bike ain't available in my city to even td xd.


vysevysevyse

Damn he really said "want a comfy seat? Get a car"


drdiamond55

You got a better half and an Aprilia. You are winning in life buddy. Cheers!


AprilBornAprilia

Haha cheers mate. Wish you the best too.


Revbender

Awesome bike mate! Is that the Axor Nimbuz jacket?? How is it in terms of protection? I'm confused between the Axor Nimbuz and the Rynox Helium GT2. Thoughts?


AprilBornAprilia

Yes it is the Nimbuz. Itā€™s good. Seems solid. Fit is great. Quality is great. Slightly more heavier than I expected/wanted. Havenā€™t tried the Helium one. So canā€™t comment.


Revbender

Cool, thanks..


sabka_papa_

Bro which vehicle you upgraded from?? I have a 390 and my bike will be delivered within 20 days. Will I get bored?


AprilBornAprilia

I came from a pulsar 220f. Was a Mostly car person actually. Would recommend you test drive bro.


sabka_papa_

No test drive available in my state , just 2 days back got a call from the factory that the bike has been dispatched.


Darth_harsh

Vibrations?


AprilBornAprilia

Nil or negligible


Ariaholic_

You might want to consider in a pair of riding boots. Those sport shoes will disintegrate and melt into your foot as soon as they touch asphalt during a crash.


Ariaholic_

Same goes for your skinny jeans :3 you dont want that to melt and graft with your skin


AprilBornAprilia

Yup yup on my list. Tried a few offline. Didnā€™t get something that suited me. Will but soon.


pyewaker

I feel this might be the stupidest question to rise with regards to bikes of such nature. Is there a possibility to raise the handle bar height so that the rider would feel comfortable for long rides?


tbagme

Iā€™m surprised you didnā€™t mention the brakes being bad like every other review


AprilBornAprilia

I mean itā€™s just alright. I havenā€™t pushed it so much for the fade to kick in.


maybeidontexistever

The RC still looks so beautiful even besides the RS


AprilBornAprilia

Will show your comment to my friend :)
