2 weeks ago Papa yam said "I'm starting to slow down and not go as crazy as I once was" and we all thought he would be an ADV riding dad. Now he is taking twisties full of tar snakes (probably Lime Creek) at 80+ MPH.
I thought my midlife crisis was over 3 years ago. I was wrong. I bought a Scrambler 1200 and this thing rips like it wants to pull your arms out of socket, lol. I forgot the therapy I was missing out on. It's so nice to have it back. I'm a little concerned now that they have speed cameras all over town though. :(
Sometimes it's not the price, it's the fear. I've had my share of Aprillias and you just get scared that you push it and something might break in the middle of the road
I just got my RS457 a month ago and am absolutely in love. I got it in opalescent white, and it looks so clean. I'm installing the quick-shifter this weekend, and I already did the Mia install; you are right, Yammie. They got it right with this beginner bike! I'm glad I waited for my pre-order rather than cave and buy a Ninja 400.

Haven’t seen papa yam this happy on a review in a while. You can hear the genuine childlike enjoyment in his voice. This feels like it wasn’t just a review, this was an experience.
Got this for my first bike after doing my exam on mt-03. This thing is categories obove it in everything and i can even keep up with my buddy whos on a 35kw restricted cbr600rr 🤯
I picked one up about two months ago and already have 2000 miles on it. Such a blast to ride, rode a friends cfmoto and feel spoiled to have this bike as my first.
Omg... I am going to get this one in a few hours! It's ready for me to pick her up! Just can't wait! 🤩 I'm so glad the review just droped, what a coincidence! I bealieve she is calling for me... 🤣 *mine's with the racing stripes paint* 😍
Wh would they mąkę it ? Only reason for existance of those bikes is A2 license, and Ducati already have monster , multistrada V2 , SuperSport 950 and 950s, hypermotard 950 and scramnler, all of those models you can get in A2 35kw version.
R3 is pathetic in front of this because of the price, Ninja 400 cant compete not enough power, 500 can but it doesn't have as much electronic features and the frame is not as good, only thing 500 wins in is perceived reliability
@@yellowflash511I mean it's perceived that way for a reason, Japanese bikes are the most reliable with good parts availability. A big deciding factor to your beginner rider who may not be mechanical inclined
depends on the budget and regulations tho. In my country Vietnam, US or EU made bikes have like 100-200% tax or something like that.

@@tranxuanminh4623 I mean that's still better than paying twice the amount. You can sell it to some enthusast for the same price and get a decent bike with that money ig
Nice vid, we can really feel the happy energy from you that it makes as you throw it around. Vids like this make me want to move out of flat-straight Florida in a bad way.
I did a test drive with the rs457 and this thing goes! its a very nice beginner bike with all the rings and bells, you dont get tired of this bike bcs its so much fun to do corners rip on the straights. Aprilia nailed this one!
I love that the Aleix Espargaro helmet matches this bike perfectly. Awesome looking and sounding bike. I've had my 2022 R3 for 2 years now and I still have tons of fun on it. I paid 6,400 out the door for my beginner bike so the price here is a little difficult.
1800 more seems pretty in-line with how much more you get... I've ridden the last 8 years worth of R3s and, they are good, but they feel a lot cheaper than the RS457. Also, wait 2 years and dealerships that still have new old stock will likely give you the bike for the same 6400 as your R3... 2022 RS660s are nearly 20% off right now!
Same. I just didn’t like the behaviour of aprilia dealership. They gave very short test ride and also added a pillion. So I just bought speed 400. It is much cheaper and I really enjoy it.
Finally an american review that isn't hating the bike unnecessarily(Revzilla). This is a much better bike than a ninja 400/500. The indicators at the front look weird. The indian model has the indicators inside the headlight.
More my 1st sport bike rather then my 1st bike? This is a great entry point for that naked/cruiser guy into the sport bike experience, looking for something approachable to learn sport bike riding on.
Thanks for this video, Yam! If you can do a track day with your buddy and make a comparison of the RS457 with the others on this category, that would be awesome! Safe ride, lovin' your videos from the Philippines!
Ohhhhh the RS250, it was brilliant. And what a cool bike is this... You sound like me when riding my '18 Duke 390... Sometimes it's just fun to ride a light and underpowered bike to it's limits.
I honestly surprised he didn’t dig to deep into the quality of the parts like others have (brakes, plastic gas tank, lack of clip ons, brand of tires, etc). But it’s kinda refreshing. I think he said there was no vibrations up in the higher revs, which is good, but I am curious how the wind buffeting is at higher speeds, because that windshield is so small and is probably going to be the fist thing I am going to change. All in all, I’m glad I watched the video, I think I’ll buy it. Btw Yammie, if your reading this, I’m looking forward to your Suzuki M-109 review.
This looks so much, people should really appreciate the US more for the high quality roads, lots of people dont ever get to ride bikes like this in a fun manner because of poor roads.
OK, you have sold me on the Prismatic Black Cherry gelato bike. I look at it, listen to it, and I say, "Yum!". Edit: what is the 0-100mph time for this intriguing little machine? How about braking distance at 60mph?
The only problem I have with it is the price, and I think this is what it's gonna come down to for most people. Comparing prices in my country (Austria) real quick: The RS 457 is 7990€. The Z500 is 6399€, the Ninja 500 is 7099€. So it's either 1600 or 900 bucks more than Kawasaki's offerings, depending on whether you want naked bike or sportbike style. That said, the SV650 is only 7490€ and this is where I think the choice gets tough, because the SV650 is really in a higher class of performance, but it's also an old bike that's been around for over 20 years. So I guess you can have the highest-end A2 level beginner bike, or the bike that served as many people's entry point for a proper big bike.
This is the best value for money two cylinder beginner sports bike. Its competitors which are R3 and Ninja 400 are more expensive while having lower performance than this.
@@VAIBHAVMALHOTRA19 Maybe the prices are different in your country then. Where I live, the RS 457 is 7990€, the Ninja 400 is no longer on sale and the Ninja 500 costs 7099€. The R3 is 7149€, so both the Kawasaki and the Yamaha are 800-900€ cheaper than the Aprilia.
You have the best schizophrenic roads to play on in the Hill Country of Austin. Playing there in my 328i was a blast and have always dreamed about ripping thru Bee Caves & around Mt. Bonnell on a sport bike just never got the chance. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge on these bikes. I’m about to pull the trigger on a Ninja 4 or 5, or perhaps this Aprilia 457!!!
Interesting vid. I really like it. I'm not a beginner but I'd love to get hold of one & really go to town on upgradihg it. New rear shock, fork catridge kit, braided lines, pads, decent rubber. Also knock off 10kg & map a full system. What a great little weapon it would be.
Huge respect to the pickup truck driver. Not sure if anyone else peeped that, instead of trying to squeeze past Tammie Noob talking about his bike...He/She opted to make a 3point turn and go back the way they came.
I also watched the Revzilla Daily Rider episode on this, it sounds like it would really benefit from a bit of tuning. 2nd gear is deliberately flat, and power is likely restricted in general. For me, this, the CFMOTO 450, and Triumph Speed/Scrambler 400 are the best low displacement bikes out there right now.
Yam is dead on with his assertions of this bike. I bought one and have put about 900 miles on it so far, and I bought mine to be my dedicated track bike next season. Its an absolute riot to ride. Side 2 side this bike just feels like a dream. THe stock mapping has a huge dead/flat spot in 2nd gear until you hit about 6.5krpm and its very annoying. Waiting for some tunes to come out that will resolve that. Gets 50-60mpg depedning on how you ride it. Very punchy little engine.
A good response by Aprilia against chinese bike, particularly cfmoto. Thanks cfmoto for pressuring other brands producing affordable entry level bike hehe
The bike is limited in its revs. It definitely can rev 2k higher than it currently does, and that would be amazing power for this, but then again Aprilia wanted to launch it as an A2 bike so we aren’t getting any more out of them
Twins are never as tunable as inline 4's. Inferior Engine balance really limits the max rpm and therefore peak power. They can have a wider power band though which is great for the street.
I did 5000km on my 457 and the only complaint I have are the brakes, I already had to change the brake pads and the abs is also a bit intrusive when braking hard
I rode this bike at MotoAmerica ! Pretty peppy bike compared to my R3. Great safety features come stock and it handles and brakes really well. The only problem I had with it was the rear brake lever is extremely small. Other than that it’s a great bike.
Definitely looks like a 660 shape wise. If you have to money I think this might be a fun and good option. Can't go wrong with a Kawasaki either though.
I just closed on a Tuono 660 Factory. Waiting for it to get delivered now. Don't feel comfortable going from MSF parking lot to rush hour DC traffic right off the bat.
@@Reivbvit’s said to be coming in addition to a Moto Guzzi that will use this engine. Nothing official announced but the Guzzi has been seen out testing on public roads
Would you ever try a 125? Us guys in Europe on a CBT are really jealous of Americans 😂, so it’ll be nice to know, from your voice of experience, your opinions on a 125, maybe the new R125, RS125 or GSX125R which were recently upgraded few years ago
I can't imagine anyone who's a "fan" of Chinese bikes would be pissed off that an Indian made bike is good. If an Indian company came out with a 600 class sportbike I would 100 percent consider it.
@@nightcoremetal2518 India has been making pretty decent bikes for a while now. I can't really speak for the rest of Chinese bikes but for the years that CFmoto has had the 450 and the 300ss I haven't seen anything that says they are bad quality, honestly quite the opposite
Yeah cfmoto people already get enough hate there 450 mt is there bread and butter there sport bikes are decent too for what you get and cheaper than Aprilia
Would you recommend this for someone who wants a bike to have fun with but doesn't care to have massive power? I used to have a 2016 CBR 300r years ago and miss having a bike every now and then, sold it because I wasn't using it and needed money at the time. Been waiting for us creators to get their hands on these because I wanted to see the impressions.
@@rienkhoek4169 Yes, 6 seconds is fast (for a car) whatever other people might say or even think. But it's not about a specssheet, it's about the feeling the bike (or car) gives you driving it.
Yeah it might be the best sportbike in his class but how about the reliability? Im thinking to buy a new sportbike in this category and yeah the aprillia caught my eye. But im a bit sceptical as i heard aprillia doesn't have a good record on the reliability. Can anyone comment?

oh almost got me with the giveaway bike 😭 it’s actually a lottery bike 😂 all jokes aside good vid, beautiful bike
Finally 😊
Now, you need to get a Ninja 500 SE and do a comparison.
Gotta put on an exhaust! We wanna hear that 270° crank growl!
Color will look good with my LS2 strobe 2 orion.
Yammie, please start planet-wide giveaways. Need this on Mars plz
I bet if you cover the fees and taxes he would give you the givaway bike.
I think that's why this motorcycle become my second choice
What's your first?
Love from India Yammie😭
In India, it costs just over $5,500 on road.
Take it to a track!!!
I rode one a few days ago and it was nothing special. No midrange, no feel in the throttle tube.
US?
Love the midrange and throttle response of my carb’d FZ1.
@@specc_s1452 yup. Aprillia test ride day at local dealer. Got to ride the 457 first, then the toureg 660 and then the RSV4 1100 factory
Revzilla just did a vid on this and they concure. Ninja 400/500 ftw.
Not to mention it's the price of a low mileage gsx-s750 or z900
Would you ever try a 125? Us guys in Europe on a CBT are really jealous of Americans 😂, so it’ll be nice to know, from your voice of experience, your opinions on a 125, maybe the new R125, RS125 or GSX125R which were recently upgraded few years ago
Came to watch the CFmoto fans rage here
Edit - lol
Why would CFmoto fans rage here?
Same reliability
I can't imagine anyone who's a "fan" of Chinese bikes would be pissed off that an Indian made bike is good. If an Indian company came out with a 600 class sportbike I would 100 percent consider it.
@@nightcoremetal2518 India has been making pretty decent bikes for a while now. I can't really speak for the rest of Chinese bikes but for the years that CFmoto has had the 450 and the 300ss I haven't seen anything that says they are bad quality, honestly quite the opposite
Yeah cfmoto people already get enough hate there 450 mt is there bread and butter there sport bikes are decent too for what you get and cheaper than Aprilia
I was looking for a 400 to use as a track bike and test drove an RC 390. Honestly it felt like a moped in comparison to my RS 660.
Would you recommend this for someone who wants a bike to have fun with but doesn't care to have massive power? I used to have a 2016 CBR 300r years ago and miss having a bike every now and then, sold it because I wasn't using it and needed money at the time. Been waiting for us creators to get their hands on these because I wanted to see the impressions.
My '18 RS125 got a aluminum frame as well.
6 second 0-60 means it's slower than almost any car on the road. Even an F250 diesel is that fast. Which makes it the perfect beginner bike for me.
Seems like this has to do with the mid range drop that US has because of the regulations. In India, this has V-box (GPS) tested 0-60 of 4.99 seconds.
Which to me, as an European, sounds nuts. 6 seconds is sports car territory here.
@@rienkhoek4169 Yes, 6 seconds is fast (for a car) whatever other people might say or even think. But it's not about a specssheet, it's about the feeling the bike (or car) gives you driving it.
He didn't turn off traction control
@@aniruddhavispute no it's because he didn't turn off traction control while launching
Yeah it might be the best sportbike in his class but how about the reliability? Im thinking to buy a new sportbike in this category and yeah the aprillia caught my eye. But im a bit sceptical as i heard aprillia doesn't have a good record on the reliability. Can anyone comment?
It’s not called “preload sag.” You added, or reduce, preload, which determines your resulting sag.
