        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.
