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.

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.
Aprilia 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.
Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica: Engine
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 RS 457 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.
