Aprilia showcased the RS 457 GP Replica version of its popular entry-level supersport at EICMA, and we speculate that this cosmetically upgraded version, featuring additional equipment such as front brake pads, could be on the cards for India.
Though the Noale-based manufacturer hasn’t officially commented on the launch of the race-inspired bike, rumours suggest that it could make its way to our shores, similar to the SR-GP Replica 175, which went on sale priced at Rs 1.22 lakh (ex-showroom) in September this year. Like the scooter, the MotoGP-inspired RS 457 may also be a limited-edition model. Let’s take a closer look at what the Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica version brings to the table.
Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica: What’s Changed?
The RS 457 is a fully-faired sportbike designed for enthusiasts who crave track-level performance. The GP Replica edition retains the core design while introducing striking race-inspired touches. The bike is draped in the official RS-GP MotoGP livery, with panels featuring a mix of matte and glossy finishes. Red and silver accents complement the factory sponsor decals, creating a unique race-inspired look.
