I wouldn't count the tires as a con, those Eurogrip protorque extremes are very capable in the dry as well as in the wet and you can actually use them in a 600-800cc with no issues. They're made by TVS, while their tyres are hit and miss these ones here will surprise you if you test it out long term. I'm glad they did not cheap out and give it MRFs or Ceats. These sets perform better than the Metzler M5 and Apollo H1, only starts getting outshined by the Michellin Road 5 and the likes.
Thanks for your opinion! Personally I would slap some Pirelli Rosso Corsa’s on there as soon as I’d get it. But that’s why they’re called personal opinions 😊
3:19. I am from India and tyres here are made in collaboration with TVS, its called TVS Eurogrip(but comes written "aprilia" from dealerships). I am not sure what brands they are using for international models but my educated guess is TVS Eurogrip because aprilia 457 is being exported from India only.
Having done over 3000kms on my rs457, great bike, probably the best under 500 bike on market. Brakes can be improved but i switched to brembo rcs15 and it solves everything. Also tyres are perfectly fine and as capable as metzelers m5s, only tyres better than this are the Michelin road 5(best tyre in my experience), pirelli diablo rosso(bad for wet) or Bridgestone s21( bad availablity).You guys just have trust issues because its an unfamiliar brand for you which is understandable. For us in india at 4700£ the bike is perfect
I am 50 years old and my friends suggest me to buy an adventure bike because I really like travelling with a bike. But my heart says to buy this one even it is more uncomfortable. Am I mad?
Go where your heart lies! If it’s not your thing you can always sell it again and get something else. With the market nowadays you won’t even lose much money on it🤪
Sounds like you depend to much on brakes. I stop fine clutching in, downshifting, and then apply just rear brake. Rarely do I ever touch the front brake ever.
Are you riding with a parachute or something? If I rode the way you just described, I'd definitely crash into everyone on the streets or on the track and probably kill myself. What's your next piece of advice? Remove the front brake because 'you don't need it'? Don't give out dangerous advice like this. Relying on downshifting and rear braking alone is just plain stupid.
@@motomyrt I have ridden lots spent years riding dirt bikes, and a sports bike. Plus ridden plenty on a bicycle doing more than 4000 miles a year on a bicycle alone. I rarely ever touch the front brake. You can stop in plenty of time: clutch in, downshift, roll off throttle, ease on back brake. I can go from 70-80 mph to zero in no time. I think only used front brake in like 7-8 occasions.
@@JessicaSimonson1976 Please call a riding school before you hurt yourself or anyone else. Until then, please refrain from making any braking recommendations on any form of public online platform. Thank you.
@@motorcycle-man I rode dirt bikes for years never relied on front brake. Clutch removes power from rear wheel, once removed it does not take much then to actually stop the bike. But because you're wanting to be a b*tch you probably never tried different braking scenarios. I tried them in: rain, snow, on icy conditions, going down hill, in high winds, hail, curve, sharp corners. You will be very surprised just how fast back brake alone can stop your bike. When you see a sign warning of a stop ahead clutch in, downshift to first, then gradually apply rear brake......you'll never need that front brake. No worries of skidding, wiping out, or high side. I use my back brake for trail braking into a corner or steep curve. And have taking riding courses and passed them.
Thank you for the honesty must reviews say only the pros no dealer network in the US.
Thanks! That's what I'm aiming for.
It is definitely a fun bike......and made for the price.....you get an A for your report 😀 ❤🎉
Thanks Lenny. A+ for you!

Thanks for your add-ons!
Aprilia sells race brake pads. So it is an easy swap if you don't like these.
Good point! But brake pads aren’t everything honestly
@@motomyrt the press had a lot of fun with it during the press event on the circuit, those were equipped with race brake pads to prevent fading.

0:55 every bike in this category is a twin except for ktm.
this type of 2cyl engines have zero emotions .. in all ways - sound, power, revs .. also the bigger 660.

Sounds like you have never ridden track.
