Aprilia RS 457 (2024 onwards)

With its compact and lightweight chassis, the Aprilia RS 457 is one of the most fun to ride sports bikes on the market. It is super-agile and easier to handle than its bigger sibling, the RS 660, yet there is still enough power for riding at maximum speeds.

Its 457cc parallel twin engine is 6 kg lighter than the RS660’s one, but the horsepower has also been lowered to just 47 bhp. This might not seem like that much power compared to some other motorcycles in the category, but it makes the bike cheaper and fully A2 legal.
