Spec-based reading of the Aprilia RS457 as a Supersport: focus on the numbers that match how you ride — power, weight, seat height, and fuel range — then verify with a dealer test ride.
Pros
- Liquid cooling for more consistent heat management
Who is it for?
Best suited for sport and track-focused riders.
Who is it not for?
Less ideal for riders whose priority is relaxed daily comfort.
Commuting / city use
As a supersport motorcycle, sport ergonomics can feel tiring in slow city traffic.
Highway / longer rides
Highway use is possible, but comfort is usually sport-focused rather than touring-oriented.
Good for beginners?
Mid-range specs: suitability as a first bike depends on experience, training, and a proper test ride.
Seat height & rider fit
Seat height is about 810 mm (31.9 in) — mid-range, but personal fit still matters.
Fuel economy & range
Listed fuel use is about 5 L/100 km (~47 mpg US). With a ~15 L tank, theoretical range is around 300 km (real-world range varies).
Two-up riding
Two-up comfort depends on seat length, passenger pegs, and load capacity — check fit with a passenger before long trips.
