Aprilia RS 457

Buying a twin-cylinder motorcycle in India has finally moved beyond the realm of wishful thinking, even though the recent GST reshuffle tried its best to spoil the party. There are numerous tempting options available in the market now, many of which are relatively affordable. However, if you are looking for your first middleweight twin, you need to give the matter some extra thought. After all, it’s not a decision to rush – get it wrong, and your dream of owning a cool machine can quickly turn sour. 


 Two motorcycles sit squarely in this space, and interestingly, both machines are shaped by fundamentally different approaches to the art of motorcycling. In one corner, we have the fresh face of the Aprilia Tuono 457, the road-biased sibling of the RS 457. Not only is it fast, but it’s also tech-laden. In the other corner, we have the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 – a long-established player in the segment. It might not offer the same amount of technology, but it is much lighter on the pocket and packs an extremely competent engine. So, the question is – which way should you lean: the tech-bro or the bare-knuckle boxer?

<h2>
 Engine Performance &amp; Character: Aprilia Tuono 457 vs Royal Enfield Continental GT 650
</h2>
While their engine displacements differ clearly, the power outputs of both machines are nearly identical. Yes, the Continental GT produces significantly more torque, but it is also much heavier (more on that later). On the move, both machines offer plenty of grunt and can get off the line with a similar sense of urgency. Also, both are almost equally fun to ride.
<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Aprilia-Tuono-457-Royal-Enfield-Continental-GT-650-1-1770702589490.webp" alt="Aprilia Tuono 457-Royal Enfield Continental GT 650-1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

That said, the Tuono 457 is surprisingly more tractable of the two, meaning fewer gear shifts in city riding. The lighter clutch of the Tuono 457 further reinforces this advantage, reducing fatigue in start-stop traffic and making daily commuting more comfortable.


 The engine soundtrack, just like design, is subjective, but it’s a crucial consideration in this segment. Once again, both bikes have a 270-degree crank, but they have different soundtracks. The Continental GT’s sound features a solid low-end and is accentuated by a few higher frequencies that Royal Enfield riders will instantly recognise. While I definitely like the Continental GT’s exhaust note, my heart beats a little faster when I hear the raw and guttural roar of the Tuono 457’s.

<h2>
 Engine Heat Management in Traffic: Tuono 457 vs Continental GT 650
</h2>
Larger-capacity engines tend to produce more heat, which can be especially problematic in traffic. Having experienced the 650cc parallel-twin in various RE motorcycles, I must say that heat management isn’t exactly its strong suit. And given the unforgiving nature of Indian summers, it’s something to be wary of.
<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Aprilia-Tuono-457-Engine-Close-Up-1770702623321.webp" alt="Aprilia Tuono 457-Engine-Close-Up.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

Initially, I was of the impression that the Tuono would win this battle, but that’s not exactly the case. Its smaller displacement liquid-cooled engine should have fared better than the Continental GT’s air- and oil-cooled engine. 


 However, that did not happen. The Tuono, too, gets a bit too hot when you are stuck in traffic for long durations. So, there is no real winner here. That said, the Continental GT’s design places the rider’s leg closer to the engine, making incidental contact with it more likely.

<h2>
 Weight Comparison &amp; Handling: 175kg vs 214kg
</h2>
Weight can be a real point of concern, especially for those riding a bigger bike for the first time. After all, the last thing you want is a bike that’s too heavy for you to handle. At 214kgs, the Continental GT is undeniably hefty, and you can feel all that weight. The Tuono 457, on the other hand, weighs much less – 175kgs to be precise. Consequently, it feels noticeably easier to manoeuvre, especially at parking speeds and in tight spaces.

<h2>
 Riding Position, Seat Height &amp; Comfort Differences
</h2>
In terms of ergonomics, the Tuono 457 offers a more relaxed riding position than the RS 457. The tube-type handlebars sit higher and are wider, resulting in a more upright posture.
<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Royal_Enfield_GT_650_Riding_Posture_autoX_Comparison_Aprilia_Tuono_457-1770877289353.webp" alt="Royal_Enfield_GT_650_Riding_Posture_autoX_Comparison_Aprilia_Tuono_457.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>
That said, the rear-set footpegs still require you to lean slightly forward. With a seat height of 800mm – 20mm lower than that of the Continental GT – the Tuono should, in theory, feel more accessible. Still, in practice, I found it more difficult to mount and dismount because of the higher pillion seat.


 The Continental GT comes with clip-ons, placing the rider in a more aggressive position, albeit not to an extreme degree.
<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Aprilia_Tuono_457_Riding_Posture_autoX_Comparison_Royal_Enfield_GT_650-1770877483892.webp" alt="Aprilia_Tuono_457_Riding_Posture_autoX_Comparison_Royal_Enfield_GT_650.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>
The real distinction between the two lies in seat design. While both bikes have relatively firm cushioning, the Continental GT’s flatter seat does not push you towards the tank like the Tuono 457’s slanted seat.


 In terms of suspension, the Tuono 457 feels stiffer than the Continental GT. The twin rear springs of the Continental GT do a better job of absorbing road imperfections. This, combined with relaxed ergonomics, makes the Continental GT feel more comfortable to ride in the city.
<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Aprilia-Tuono-457-Royal-Enfield-Continental-GT-650-2-1770702579689.webp" alt="Aprilia Tuono 457-Royal Enfield Continental GT 650-2.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>
The Tuono 457, however, comes with pre-load adjustable front and rear suspension, offering greater versatility. This makes the Tuono better suited to track use and inspires greater confidence when riding hard through twisty roads.

<h2>
 Instrument Cluster, TFT Display &amp; Electronic Features Compared
</h2>
The Tuono 457 has an edge in this department, for it comes with a 5-inch coloured TFT instrument cluster. The Continental GT, on the other hand, features two analogue dials and a small, monochrome LCD display.

 <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Aprilia_Tuono_457_autoX_Comparison_Royal_Enfield_GT_650_Instrument_Cluster-1770891995240.webp" alt="Aprilia_Tuono_457_autoX_Comparison_Royal_Enfield_GT_650_Instrument_Cluster.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
 </div>
 
While the aesthetics of the analogue dials have a certain visual charm, the Tuono’s modern interface offers far more information. The screen is crisp, easy to read at a glance, and supported by a well-designed, intuitive UI. In fact, it’s one of the better displays in the segment. 


 In terms of electronic safety features, the Continental GT adopts a minimalist approach. Apart from dual-channel ABS, there is little in the way of electronic assistance. The Tuono, on the other hand, benefits from a ride-by-wire system, three riding modes, traction control modes, and the option to disable the traction control and rear ABS. All this not only enhances rider engagement but also makes the Tuono a more reassuring choice for beginners.

<h2>
 After-Sales Service &amp; Ownership Experience in India
</h2>
When it comes to the buying experience, Royal Enfield clearly has an advantage in India – you are far more likely to stumble across an RE showroom than an Aprilia showroom. The Italian company’s presence is not as widespread. So, even when it comes to servicing and part availability, the Continental will be easier to live with over the long term.
<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Royal-Enfield-Continental-GT-650-Motion-1770702456864.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Continental GT 650-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

Also, I have come across reports from some Aprilia customers who were dissatisfied with their service experience. That said, Royal Enfield bikes are not immune to mechanical issues either. So, while troubleshooting might be tricky for both bikes, the fact that there are more RE showrooms and bikes on the road tilts the balance in favour of the Continental GT.

<h2>
 Price Comparison &amp; Final Verdict: Which Twin Should You Buy?
</h2>
Finally, there is the matter of price. The Continental GT starts at Rs 3.50 lakh (ex-showroom), and even with the better-equipped variant featuring LED lighting and alloy wheels, it will cost Rs 3.71 lakh (ex-showroom). The Tuono, by comparison, commands a premium of about Rs 50,000 over the base Continental – a sizable difference in the segment.
<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Royal-Enfield-Continental-GT-650-Headlight-1770702447921.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Continental GT 650-Headlight.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

For those who want a big-displacement engine at a relatively accessible price point, the Continental makes a lot of sense. It may lack modern, fancy features, but this does little to detract from the riding experience. It is also perfect for enthusiasts who prefer bikes with fewer electronic interventions. What’s more, even with its price out of the equation, the Continental is still an appealing proposition, thanks to its ergonomics, a timeless, proven engine, and fantastic styling.
<div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/02/Aprilia-Tuono-457-Motion-1770702602480.webp" alt="Aprilia Tuono 457-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>

The Tuono 457, while more expensive, offers additional features that justify its premium price. Its preload-adjustable suspension makes it a motorcycle you can grow with, adapting as your skills improve. It can also switch from road to track mode in the blink of an eye. The lighter weight, nimbler handling, and loads of raw power make it a super fun bike to ride. If I were in the market for my first twin-cylinder motorcycle, I would definitely pick the Tuono, although I would almost certainly replace that annoying seat with something a bit more comfortable for daily use.

Aprilia Tuono 457 vs Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 – Twin-Cylinder Showdown

Two very different takes on the twin-cylinder formula. One chases tech and agility, the other banks on character and heritage — which wins?

Aprilia has finally given the RS 457 a proper race-livery option in India with the launch of the RS 457 GP Replica at Rs 4.37 lakh. If you were already eyeing the RS 457 for its sharp handling and twin-cylinder punch, this new version adds the factory RS-GP MotoGP colours straight from the showroom. The GP Replica was first shown at EICMA 2025, and it now joins the India line-up with a few useful extras that many riders usually spec on their own. The bike stays the same underneath, and that works well because the RS 457 already offers a light supersport feel with enough power for everyday riding. With the quickshifter now standard, this version feels closer to the track-ready brief the RS badge promises.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-rs-457-trofeo-revealed-with-sc-project-exhaust-system-racing-ecu-and-more-117697/">Aprilia RS 457 Trofeo Revealed with SC Project Exhaust System, Racing ECU and More</a>The RS 457 already has a tight, aggressive design, and the GP Replica simply turns that up. It gets the full RS-GP MotoGP livery with a mix of matte and gloss panels, red and silver highlights, and sponsor decals across the fairing. The graphics work well with the compact proportions of the bike and give it a proper race-bike vibe without changing the base design.<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/aprilia/">Aprilia </a>has added a few practical upgrades as well. The GP Replica comes with a pillion seat cowl and a bidirectional quickshifter as standard. Both are optional on the regular RS 457. The front brake setup now uses higher-performance pads, which should improve bite and feedback during spirited riding. These changes do not alter the performance figures, but they add to the riding feel.<h2>Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica: Engine</h2>The engine remains the same 457cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin that produces 46.9bhp and 43Nm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox, assist and slipper clutch, and ride-by-wire throttle. Suspension duties are handled by a 41mm USD fork at the front and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. Braking comes from a 320mm front disc with a Bybre radial calliper and a 220mm rear disc.The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/aprilia/rs-457/">RS 457 </a>GP Replica rides on 17-inch alloy wheels. It also gets three ride modes, traction control with three levels, and a 5-inch TFT display. The mechanical package stays the same, but the new version adds a factory race look and extra standard kit to the RS 457 range in India.

Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica Launched in India at Rs 4.22 Lakh

Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica gets Aprilia’s MotoGP livery, a standard quickshifter, and the same 457cc twin-cylinder engine and hardware as the standard model.

Jorge Martin’s name is back in the middle of the MotoGP rider market, with reports linking him to a Yamaha move for the 2027 season. According the source, the talk in the paddock is that the deal could run for two years, taking effect once his Aprilia contract ends in 2026. Nothing has been signed yet, but the timing makes sense. Yamaha is expected to have room in its factory set-up, and teams are already planning well ahead with big regulation changes coming in 2027. After everything Martin has dealt with over the past two seasons, this reported move feels like a reset point rather than just another transfer story.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-fabio-quartararo-reportedly-set-for-honda-switch-in-surprise-move-122801/">MotoGP: Fabio Quartararo Reportedly Set for Honda Switch in Surprise Move</a>His time with Aprilia has never really settled. Martin arrived in 2025 after Ducati chose a different factory direction, but things quickly became difficult. Injuries hit early and kept returning, including surgeries to his left wrist and right collarbone. Missing preseason tests hurt his preparation, and once you lose track time in MotoGP, it is hard to recover rhythm, confidence and consistency.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/09/Aprilia-MotoGP-Rider-Jorge-Martin-(2)-1758960785103.webp" alt="Aprilia MotoGP Rider Jorge Martin (2).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The relationship between Martin and Aprilia became tense midway through 2025. He pushed for an early exit in order to join Honda for the 2026 season, but Aprilia stood firm. The contract was enforced, and Martin stayed put, even as interest from other manufacturers continued quietly in the background.At the same time, Yamaha’s own situation has been shifting. Fabio Quartararo is expected to leave at the end of 2026, with his future pointing towards Honda. That potential exit changes everything for Yamaha, especially with the team looking to rebuild before the new engine rules arrive. A rider like Martin fits naturally into that conversation. With 2027 shaping up as a fresh start for MotoGP, the rider market is already moving earlier than usual. Martin has been linked with Honda over the past year, but Yamaha now appears to be the strongest option. Until anything becomes official, the story remains reported, but it is one that continues to gather momentum every time the paddock doors open.<a href="https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/exclusive-jorge-martin-finalising-two-year-yamaha-motogp-deal/10793750/">Source</a>

MotoGP: Jorge Martin Reportedly Set for Yamaha Move in 2027

Jorge Martin is reportedly linked with a Yamaha move for 2027 as injuries, Aprilia tensions and Fabio Quartararo’s expected Honda switch shape the MotoGP rider market.

Aprilia’s 2026 MotoGP build-up hits an early pause as Jorge Martin will not take part in the opening pre-season test at Sepang. With teams finally rolling out their new machinery, the Spanish rider will watch from the garage, continuing his recovery after winter surgeries. The first test of the year often sets the rhythm for the season, but for Martin, patience takes priority over lap times. While the RS-GP26 begins its first proper outing in Malaysia, Aprilia’s focus remains on getting its factory rider fully fit before racing begins, even if that means missing the first important checkpoint of the winter.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-2026-ktm-and-tech3-debut-new-look-post-bajaj-takeover-122776/">MotoGP 2026: KTM and Tech3 Debut New Look Post Bajaj Takeover</a>The surgeries took place in December and were linked to ongoing injury issues. One procedure involved the scaphoid bone in his left wrist, while the other focused on his right collarbone. These problems have delayed his return to full training and ruled him out of early track action.Martin’s situation follows a difficult 2025 season that never really settled. A pre-season crash disrupted his build-up, and further incidents during the year limited his time on the bike. The lack of continuity made it hard for him to string together consistent weekends.With Martin sidelined, Aprilia will hand testing duties to Lorenzo Savadori at Sepang. The Italian test rider knows the RS-GP well and will focus on gathering data and helping the factory move its winter programme forward.The next target for Martin is the Buriram test later in February. Aprilia expects him to return there, giving him valuable mileage before the opening round of the 2026 MotoGP season and finally getting his campaign moving.

MotoGP: Aprilia’s Jorge Martin to Sit Out First Sepang Test

Jorge Martin will miss Aprilia’s Sepang MotoGP test as he continues recovery after wrist and collarbone surgeries ahead of the 2026 season.

Aprilia has revealed the 2026 MotoGP bike, called the RS-GP26, ahead of the new racing season. The bike was shown during the team launch in Italy. For Aprilia, this season matters because it allows the team to fine-tune performance rather than start from zero. With engine development frozen, the focus stays on setup work, aerodynamics and race execution. 2026 feels like a season where small gains can decide results, and every update on the RS-GP26 will matter across a long and demanding calendar.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-valentino-rossis-vr46-team-unveils-2026-race-bike-122704/">MotoGP: Valentino Rossi’s VR46 Team Unveils 2026 Race Bike</a>The RS-GP26 comes with revised aerodynamics developed within the existing rules. Aprilia has updated the front fairing wing elements and reworked the side body panels to guide airflow towards the rear. These changes aim to improve braking stability and drive on corner exit. The goal is to extract more performance without breaking the development limits set by MotoGP.

Aprilia ran the updated aero parts during post-season and winter tests, collecting data from tracks with different layouts. Engineers focused on consistency over race distance and tyre management, which remains a major factor during sprint and main races.

Branding has been repositioned on the fairing and tail section, while the Italian tricolour remains on the nose. The design follows Aprilia’s approach of continuity during the current MotoGP cycle.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-pramac-yamaha-reveal-becomes-first-team-to-reveal-livery-122690/">MotoGP: Pramac Racing Unveils 2026 Livery as New Yamaha V4 Era Begins</a>Aprilia Racing will race the RS-GP26 with Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin as its riders in the MotoGP championship.

MotoGP: 2026 Aprilia RS-GP Revealed with Updated Aero and Livery

Aprilia’s 2026 RS-GP features revised aero for better stability and tyre use, with Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin leading the charge through the season.

The Aprilia Tuono 457 is the naked twin of the RS 457 – the motorcycle that shook up India’s entry-level supersport segment with its seductive Italian design, hot-blooded performance, and razor-sharp handling, which explains why it won autoX’s ‘Best of 2024’ award, along with the Indian Motorcycle of the Year (IMOTY) title later that season.

Now, as brilliant as the RS 457 is, it’s also unapologetically sporty and aggressive. That’s why Aprilia decided to bring out an easier-on-the-wrist naked version of it this year – the Tuono 457. With its wide and tall handlebar and noticeably more relaxed rider’s triangle, it’s an easier bike to ride for sure. Mechanically, it’s unchanged – you still get the 457cc parallel-twin engine producing 47bhp and 43.5Nm, meaning it’s every bit as punchy and addictive as its faired sibling. Aprilia has, however, tweaked the final drive ratio with an extra tooth on the rear sprocket for quicker intial acceleration, but the trade-off is that it is about a second slower to reach 100km/h. The missing (and slippery) bodywork also plays a part in slightly compromising the top end. And, of course, being a naked, you’ll be fighting through a fair bit of wind blast at triple-digit speeds.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/2025-aprilia-tuono-457-india-first-ride-review-new-king-of-street-naked-bikes-autox-120382/">2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 India | First Ride Review | New King of Street Naked Bikes | autoX</a>

That brings us to its styling, or the lack of it. In this area, the Tuono 457 is a bit of a mixed bag. While the overall stance is muscular and purposeful, the front end lacks the sharp, predatory appeal of the larger Tuonos.

On the track, though, the Tuono absolutely redeems itself. The front end feels planted and composed around corners. The only problem during our track test was noticeable handlebar vibrations beyond 5,000rpm.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/aprilia-tuono-457-vs-rs-457-key-differences-explained-119950/">Aprilia Tuono 457 vs RS 457: Key Differences Explained</a>

Overall, the Tuono 457 is a phenomenal naked machine that nails the essentials – a thrilling engine, a dynamic chassis, and everyday usability. It just misses out on being as stellar as the RS 457. And, lastly, Aprilia’s after-sales service and long-term reliability have recently come under scrutiny. Naturally, that dents its score in the practicality category.

Aprilia Tuono 457 at autoX Awards: Best Bikes of 2025 Ranked

With its wide and tall handlebar and noticeably more relaxed rider’s triangle, the Aprilia Tuono 457 is an easier bike to ride for sure.

One of the newer entrants in the performance scooter segment, the Aprilia SR 175 hp-e is an easy machine to understand. Light, agile, and purpose-built, it has a single mission – to feed your need for speed. And it does that with surprising ease, especially when unleashed on a racetrack, where it truly comes alive. It makes 13bhp and 14.14Nm of torque – enough to cross the triple-digit mark on the digital speedometer. Even at 80–90 km/h, the engine doesn’t feel strained, making the SR 175 a surprisingly capable companion for long-distance riding. The digital instrument cluster offers crisp graphics, a clear layout, and plenty of useful data, making it one of the better ones in this class.

On the track, the SR 175 holds its line beautifully around corners, thanks to its relatively long wheelbase and 14-inch wheels. They give it a reassuring sense of stability, whether you’re blazing through bends or gunning it on the highway. The only downside is that direction changes at low speeds can feel a bit lazy. While it lacks traction control, the inclusion of single-channel ABS adds a welcome layer of safety and confidence.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/aprilia-sr-175-first-ride-review-the-performance-scooter-to-get-121814/">Aprilia SR 175 First Ride Review: The Performance Scooter to Get?</a>

That said, the SR 175 struggles in terms of practicality. The seat is on the firmer side, and the suspension feels rather stiff, both of which make riding it on pothole-ridden city streets a bit of a challenge. The headlight is also very disappointing, with both its throw and intensity leaving much to be desired. You’ll need to be extra careful while riding at night, especially when the SR 175’s headlight is the only source of light illuminating the road ahead.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/piaggio-india-cuts-prices-of-vespa-zx-aprilia-sr-175-and-more-after-gst-20-update-121829/">Piaggio India Cuts Prices of Vespa ZX, Aprilia SR 175 and More After GST 2.0 Update</a>

Unlike most scooters, the under-seat storage is also quite limited, and there are no utility pockets behind the apron either. And the engine, while spirited, transmits some vibrations through the floorboard. But, then, the SR 175 was never meant to be a sensible scooter with mild manners. It’s a scooter with attitude – raw, spirited, and built for those who value excitement over comfort and convenience. And in that regard, Aprilia has nailed it once again.
