Watching my favourite motorcycle reviewer reviewing my favourite (and hopefully next) sports motorcycle on a Sunday afternoon after homemade lunch…life’s good😌

[@Dude.RS7]

As mentioned in video, you can go only if u need sports bike for a racing or weekly ride… it’s has a slightly aggressive riding position, so its not meant for daily commute as u will definitely feel wrist pain and back pain… I just rode this bike. It’s a performance beast and it’s very smooth as well..

[@fieryspy6414]

People daily the R15, this is much easier on your body than that bike.

[@aniruddhavispute]

Highly dependent on the rider. People daily R15, RCs. If you have good physique, you exercise well and you know how to have proper posture on bike, you won't have any issues.

[@gourichangmai6545]

Most agressive sitting posture are that of R15 and old model RC

[@manjunathmadabal]

Great analysis, Rishaad. This is the best Autocar India review in a very long time, perhaps even in decades.👍👏🙌

[@18lakhvinder18]

Bang on observation, the fueling at low rpm is high, which makes it smoother to pick it up but is leading to low milage figures. So riding it slow won’t be of any use for anyone expecting a good milage, cause the highway figures also support this. As a general rule of thumb, riding any engine below the rpm where it’s peak torque hits is where you will get the best milage. It’s surprising to see this kind of character from a smaller engine, hats off aprilia.

[@monsoonrover]

noticed number plate was vibrating during ride appreciate your detailed review. Loved it.

[@pravinmurthy]

Great review Rishaad.. loved watching the 📷 in 4K quality ❤

[@adityakurwatti93]

Aprilia has done a fantastic job. Waiting for the tuono 457. I hope they don’t detune the engine like they did on the tuono 660. The only problem with the faired motorcycles on Indian roads are, they tend to make this rattling sound after a year of using it due to the conditions of the roads here in India.

13:17 The screws are already there. Aprilia or their service team hasn't fixed through the holder. The bike does have a lot of appeal. The only issue is the price, both upfront and maintenance. Guess its just a sacrifice one has to make to own a premium twin cylinder sportsbike.

Start from 150cc or 250 , you'll hurt yourself if you start from high power bike

[@icecoldviv]

​@@Foxx701not really. This is an A2 licence bike which should be beginner friendly. Make sure you wear protective gear and use rain mode in the initial days to get used to the power delivery

[@Foxx701]

@@icecoldviv A2 A1 whatever it is doesn't mean nothing in India , i don't think it's a good idea that you should start riding a bike more powerful than 15-25hp

[@Saurav_Chanda27]

I'm assuming that you can ride a geared motorcycle since you said you are upgrading from a non geared one. If you are not familiar with geared bikes, I would strongly recommend starting with something less powerful. With that out of the way, the RS457 is at the extreme end of the A2 licence which means it is the most powerful one in its class. Buy it only if you have the self discipline to not go all guns blazing as this can go seriously fast and that too very quickly. You will build up skill over time and this bike has got all the good electronics to help cover up the occasional rider mistakes. #ridesafe

[@18lakhvinder18]

Just one thing, a higher performance bike can be ridden slower if needed, but a lower performance bike can’t be ridden faster than it’s peak. And yea the advice of taking a smaller cc bike and then going up, first it will take a lot of money cause now you’ll be financing two bike costs and believe me the performance gap is not that much that you require a smaller cc bike first. It would have been the case if you are jumping from a scooter to a direct 100+bhp bike.

[@DriftyMilesOfficial]

I wonder..a twin cylinder sports bike which can go upto 190kmph…why the hell only one disc at the front? What about breaking at hight speed

[@eco999]

Oh, The Plate! The Guard?! Mamma Mia!! 🤌🤌

[@Kakarot_0029]

Is the adventure version coming if this beast?

[@18lakhvinder18]

Probably yes, cause they wouldn’t miss out on getting back the revenue from developing this engine. Bike companies do this all the time, do RnD for a single engine and make multiple motorcycles out of it. The thing with aprilia is, they aren’t mass producers till now and everything premium is loosing share in market cause of economy, thats why these brands are so focused on small cc performance bikes. KTM valuation skyrocketed after entering india and a focus on smaller cc.

[@ppppadwal]

Apart from the little bit of extra comfort , the Tuonos probably are the worst looking bikes 😂. They are not a proper naked bike , neither are they a proper sportbike . Aprilia just reduces some of the body covers and calls it a day 😂. Atleast do something like what other manufacturers do like the MT , Streetfighter etc etc
