- A bike with a big price tag and has nothing to offer apart from performance and quality of product. Could've atleast given a few accessories in this price point which cannot be justified only by performance.
Does the R3 look better for this price point? Find out in the video.

Had a test ride of this bike today. Though, it's a superb package, but being a 6'3" guy, it wasn't quite comfortable for me because of its compactness. For a tall guy, the bike ergonomics could be a concern.
Here are my observations :
1- Superb engine performance
2- Soothing exaust with parallel twin engine
3- Better screen
4- No breaking issues as per my experience.. maybe it's different on racing tracks
5- Features loaded bike in its segment
6- Value for money product
Overall, a really good package for those who are below 6' feet height.
That's a really good summary of the entire bike. I appreciate it.
Sport bikes in general don't suit tall people because of how compact they can be, but they do pack a punch.
What about heat bro?
What’s your height in centimetres bro?
Best review so far over RS457
Thanks a lot 🫡
Wow…it’s a shame that you got such less subscriber count. Looking forward to see your channel grow. Please do make a video for NX500 🙏
Thanks a tonne 🫡 I believe good things take time.
I will try the NX500 soon but it would take time to edit and post. As of now I have 3 or so bikes lined up for Reviews. I will be posting the NX after them, hopefully.
Once again, thanks a lot!
Nice review bro 😊
For daily use as well as intermediary touring which is better out of Duke 390 & RS 457 ??
It depends on how much you can spend for petrol in a day. You can daily the RS457 but the mileage is terrible.
In case you're not pleased with the mileage, go for the Duke 390, performs fantastic on the highway as well.
Even though the comfort is better on the Duke, the RS457 provides better wind protection because of the visor as well.
aprilla or gt650 which is better in your opinion
Aprilia RS457 is miles better.
The performance, the quality, the looks (subjective). Yes, it's a lakh more than the GT but I'd say it's worth it.
This bike has zero competition in looks department even in sub 15 lacs budget. You have to see this bike in real life to realise this, it's a massive bike from the front,but in videos it looks small. The fit and finish is top notch like a proper liter class bike.
Aprilia is a sports bike and GT650 is belongs different segment.
Stupid comparison
Decide if you want a cafe racer or a sports bike.
If he had made a comparison then surely he might have thought a lot of things regarding it

leaving a comment here so that I can flex on being an early subscriber once we reach 1 million. Super video boss
Hahaha thanks a lot 😂
I don't think one million would be possible for a long long time, but we shall see where the journey takes us.
I felt the front tyre is small in wide.. which seems to be non sync with the fairing
well explained video ty sir
🙏
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it.
Yes sir, learnt a lot🙏🏿
@arjungowda8275 ADV390 kodu, tumba thanks 🙂👍
Good review man
I appreciate it!
Hows the ergonomics at 5.10 height.
I m riding duke 390, how fast this bike as compare to duke ????
This has a good midrange and top end, somewhat similar to the Duke.
The Duke's performance feels like a punch in the face all because of the single cylinder but the Aprilia's power is much more linear and smooth. Even though you feel the torque and the power, it's not like the Duke's punch in the face kind of performance. The Aprilia is a much more powerful machine and has a lot more capabilities than the Duke 390 but in the end, it comes to personal preference.
The ergonomics are quite good, it feels just like the RC 200/390. The tank is shaped in such a way that you can grip it with your legs quite easily.
how would it fit a tall rider? I am 6'1. Also would it make sense to buy this if you are never planning to take this on race track and use it mostly for city use with occasional run on highway?
You would feel at home on this bike because the clips ons are raised compared to the R15 and the footpegs aren't set really back as I said in the video.
The tank is also shaped in such a way that would allow your legs to grip it quite easily and make you feel comfortable.
In the city, the bike would return a mileage of 15-20 (as said by the salesperson). If you're ready to take on that expense, it would be fine. On the highway, given that you're 6'1, I don't think you would feel comfortable. Major issue is the heating and the mileage of the bike. If you're okay with these, go for it.
@@motorcrit Thanks for responding. Keep up the good work, subscribed :)
Thanks a lot. Cheers.
I’m 6’1. I had not taken a test drive but had sat on the bike. Tbh my legs were uncomfortable with the foot pegs positioning being a little too behind. Legs were cramped. I’m disappointed from my experience.
@@motorcritwhats your height..?
Hey sup, could you tell are the test rides available in bengaluru Apart from your area? And beautiful review.
Unfortunately, there are only two showrooms that provide test rides, Marathahalli and Banashankari.
@@motorcrit oh ok thanks man
Now that was an honest review...

Aprilia 457 / YamahaR3 /Ninja500...if choice is given.. which one you choose irrespective of price?
I would go for the Aprilia RS457. I like the looks of the bike and the performance somewhat matches what I expect out of a bike that would be "mine".
As a parallel twin engine, it doesn't sound like the Ninja 300/400 or the R3 because of the firing order. Ninja 300, 400, and R3 have 180-degree crankshaft, and Aprilia 457 and GT 650 have 270-degree crankshaft. A 180-degree crankshaft has an equal firing interval compared to a 270-degree crankshaft.
That's not called as parallel twin
Parallel means 2 crank shaft are assembled at same position means 360°
In other words in parallel twin the 2 crankshaft are arranged either up or down
In case of R3 there is 180° crank angle means one crank up and the othe one down. So r3 ninja 300,400 is note called as parallel twin, it's called a inline twin
@@dellman4432 Correct, and I am aware of that, but the term parallel twin is used vaguely to describe a twin-cylinder in-line engine. There are actually 3 configurations in a parallel twin engine 180, 270 & 360 degree crankshafts.
180 degree parallel doesn't have equal firing interval. 360 degree has. Funny how you are confidently incorrect.
@@anshumanmishra7130 Here I am wondering where do you bring the confidence to be a keyboard warrior. Both 180 and 360 degrees crankshafts have an even firing inteval. The difference is that 180 degrees will fire alternatively while 360 degrees will fire simultaneously, but the interval of sound will be even unlike the uneven firing order of 270 degrees.
@@namithdhas314 dude what are you even talking about? combustion and exhaust cycle both combined is 720° cycle. Fuel air mixture gets ignited in first 360 and the residue gets removed in second 360.
Not sure if Aprilia subscribed to your channel, however I sure did. Loved the video pal.
Haha thanks for sticking till the end of the video. Thanks for subscribing as well. Will be posting another video of another bike in a week or two. Stay tuned.
Aprilia rs457 is like a fun bike to ride like duke 390 but it’s not practically a daily driver by looking at the mileage of the motorcycle.
Exactly.
@@motorcritYeah this motorcycle is going to ask for high maintenance just like duke 390.
good for beginner riders??? i want a unique and fresh look
Nope. This isn't a beginner bike.
Nice bro I'll subscribede❤ support from punjab
Thanks a lot 🫡
Gt 650 or speed 400 please help me out there is about 1 lakh price differnce
I am not a huge fan of the GT650 so I'd actually go for the Speed.
The GT is more powerful than the speed but the power is very linear. The Speed's power is very punchy and when you twist the throttle, the torque kicks in quite early which is what I like. The Speed is much lighter, can be taken offroad and also is a very good commuter at the same time. The GT's riding posture and the weight is the problem overall for me and it wouldn't make any sense for me to own the GT.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. Do go for a test ride, check both the bikes out multiple times and then decide on the bike which would suit your needs.
Thank you sooo much
This bike or DUKE 390?
Bro can you say something about how the diameter of a fork affects the ride quality or suspension performance. Don't google anything!
So what I've noticed from riding bikes with smaller forks is that you don't get a lot of feedback from the front tyre. I completely rely on the front end of the bike when I take a corner because it's easier to control the bike when the rear tyre skids. It's better to have the front end confidence.
Secondly, the smaller forks tend to dip down more compared to larger forks because they have lesser compression resistance. When you apply harsh brakes, there is a chance of the bike bottoming out the suspension which in turn, doesn't give you brake confidence as well.
Hope it helps.
@@motorcrit Have you ridden R15 v3 (the one with telescopic forks? You must be aware of the from end feel of that bike (those were 37mm) the usd forks in v4 are still 37 mm in diameter, it's not the fork diameter but the compression and damping settings from the factory which decide the stiffness and front end feel. Every suspension is oil damped, the thickness of the oil and the diameter of the valves inside it decide the compression. Thicker 41mm forks in fz or dominar allow more compression to make the ride comfortable. Whereas the sportbike suspensions are tuned to give you the maximum front end feel.
R3 provides KYB forks in front (37mm dia, 130mm travel), which brand fork does aprilia provides? First hear anyone complaining about R3's suspension then talk crap about it.
Thinner forks (37mm in place of 41mm or 43mm) can instead make the front end lighter, that's a huge advantage.
Point taken that r3 is way overpriced, should've been 1 lakh cheaper. But it's Yamaha's attitude you should be talking about not the bike. It has cemented itself as a bulletproof machine for past 8 years. What reputation does the 457 have? Companies are fooling general public with specs and features, very less number of well built bikes are sold in India right now. You should understand it. There has been numerous issues popping every other day with himalayan 450 and all those newly launched bikes. Consumers should be careful about their purchase.
I drove that bike on 10 april 1 day before yu uploaded video but i didnt felt anything heat 😅.
Well, the bike had been on a couple rounds before I got the chance. Pretty sure that is the cause of the heating. Not only that, the bike does tend to heat up normally which is expected in a 450cc bike.
Finally someone said real cons of this bike. This bike is also overpriced like R3.
This bike isn't overpriced for sure. I believe it's in the perfect price range.
Bro can you make a review on pulser n250 🥹
Yess!! A bike that's been on my list for a while.
Do subscribe and turn on the notification.
@@motorcrit already did bro
Where did you get you test ride bro?
Aprilia Showroom Banashankari
Rc390 vs Aprilia paying one lakh more for this machine is worth it?
Duke 390 would be perfect
@@nikhilsharma2451 but I want faired bike what about rr310
@@ashmitmudgal7836 take a test ride
Sure you will get your answer
So, if you want a bike that feels like a punch in the face, I'd say go for the RC. The RC feels lighter than this bike and the torque can only be felt after 6500rpm. When you open the throttle on the RC, it pulls hard.
The Aprilia on the other hand, it has so much midrange and low end Torque that the power itself feels quite linear compared to the RC390.
Also, the RR310 is more user friendly and a more comfortable bike than these two but ultimately the choice is yours.
Do take a test ride of the motorcycle and decide what type of power output you prefer.
@@motorcritso basically aprillia power delivery is linear like the ninja 300 as the nature of twin and shines at the top end
All the accessories does available at the showroom??
How much does all of this cost??
As of now, the accesories are not available in the showroom and the cost is yet to be released.
Accesories will be available in the service centers
@@ameyanimkar3172 can you tell us by the end of which month?
@@surojitseal1575 depends on the particular service center.
Hey man, Harley davidson x440 or Triumph scrambler 400 which is better in your opinion?
For me, I'd go for the Scrambler because of the power. I do like taking my bike offroad so definitely the Scrambler in my case.
If you want a bike that has more torque, lesser strained, more comfortable, go for the X440. The Harley has one of the most brilliant engines ever and it never fails to disappoint me.
Do take a test ride of both before you decide.
@@motorcrit thanks man i really appreciate it!!! Looking forward to test ride both the bikes
"I can feel the heat all the way upto my balls" 😂....bro, still u think this bike won't have heating issues in traffic.
Also, u mentioned in some other comment that RR310 is more comfortable than RS457 ? But overall, riding experience is better with the 457 right?
A 457cc engine with fairings, obviously there is going to be heat. I ride a Dominar and I'm not used to this much heat and I presume a person who would be upgrading to this bike wouldn't be used to the heat as well. Heating is expected but this was the first time I experienced so much heat so it did catch me off-guard.
Yes, the RR310 feels much more comfortable compared to this. I really liked this motorcycle and I can confidently say the riding experience is better.
@@motorcrit I ride a CBR 250, which I love. The RS457 has certainly caught my attention. Looking for something comfortable to upgrade/downgrade without breaking the bank.
1:10 this is list is for overseas not for India 😂 India has a seperate list with 10 items only
Do check out what Shumi said in his MorotInc first video. He did mention that Aprilia gets 28 or so accesories in India. The picture which I put up on the screen is a picture that was sent by the salesperson himself.
Kannada matadu guru +1 sub
Didn't know the throttle response is low coz it's ride by wire. Crazy
It's not low, there is a slight delay. It's not a lot compared to the TVS RTR310 or the Himalayan. This delay, we can expect out of any ride by wire vehicle
r3 has many cons huh .bro Your perception of looking towards r3 is completely wrong you all young kids only look at price nothing else.
A bike that doesn't even get a quickshifter, forks smaller than that of its smaller capacity counterpart the R15(37mm on the R3 vs 41mm on the R15) which is less than half the price of the R3, no traction control, no slipper clutch and no TFT display.
Sure the R3 has a really nice engine and is mildly better than its competitor, the outdated Ninja 300.
All in all, it's a Retro sportbike with a huge pricetag.
If you think my answer is condescending, it could be because you're quite old, not experienced.
Cheers.
I would like to know your perspective.
Please tell us what are your views on the Yamaha R3.
😂😂😂 you are outdated. Dude not only price as compared to its sibling R15 it's specs also shows truth. Both ninja300 and R3 making fool to us with simply engine refinement. 😅
Give this man a 457 ASAP. The worst part about the video was that it "ended" 🥲
Hahaha thanks a lot dude. I really appreciate it.
All we can do right now, is dream of Aprilia letting me borrow a bike.
