2024 Aprilia RS 457 IS HERE! Is Aprilia's Cheapest Motorcycle Any Better Than A Ninja 400? 

I think this will be a great bike to compare to the CFMOTO 450ss.

I love it! Can't wait to see it in person.

Thanks guys .... More Racing at the track please🙏.. Hot Weather is almost gone....

So excited to see this bike set its mark in its class!

The CFmoto 450SS has a single Brembo front brake and it's more than enough for that power. You absolutely do not need dual discs up front. Also like, propping it up as the cheapest Aprilia bike is kind of pointless. It's made by an Italian company. That automatically implies it's still going to be more expensive than all of the alternatives for no reason other than MamaMiaMeItaliano.

This looks awesome. Well done Aprilia

Wow i didn't know that TFL has bike review and new!!! love your truck TFL YTube though.

The last thing a new rider needs is the headaches that come with eurobike reliability, poor dealer service, poor dealer network, and expensive parts and service.

Cant wait, good package fr. and that italian design

New additions create more value and better bikes for everyone!

This would be an excellent Track Day bike.

Definitely getting this. I’m 5’7 and 160 lbs . So it’s going to be a fun track toy for me.

The honest to god best part of the ninja 400 is that it's so popular. So many people buy one, then realize motorcycle riding isn't for them. Which creates a very robust market of near new ninja 400s that can be purchased for thousands of dollars less than you'd spend at a dealer. I bought a used 2023 Ninja 400 KRT for $4500 with 1400 miles on it. No dealer fees or surcharges. It'll be interesting to see if the same thing happens with the Aprilia RS 457 or if it'll be too high in price to truly compete with entry level bikes.

Aprilia is my fav bike brand and i live in europe and like to focus on amllr cc bikes so this is perfect im super excited hopefully price will be good and it will not disappoint us!

Amazing content! I know this would be asking too much but could yall please cover these smaller displacement bikes: TVS RTR 310, KTM 390 (2023), and Triumph 400. I'm in India and these are 3 completely different flavors and attention grabbing and now I'm super confused. As per my requirements for beginner and easy to ride, with great low end torque and quick and easy to navigate for city rides the Triumph 400 feels the right choice but man this year there are tons of great options to choose from, bike lovers are eating good this year foh sure.

My first hike was an Aprilia Rs 50 and my next hike needs to be this Rs 457! (Though my heart wants a Rs 125 2T.)

Almost as cool hot as my 1984 Suzuki 250 Gamma (purchased while I was inJapan). That bike was 286lbs dry, 47hp, full fairing, monoposto, dual front disks, abs, box aluminum frame, full floater rear suspension, six speed. Back to the Future, Hah! The Aprila is pretty.

I want to get this as my first bike!

I am really intrigued by this bike. I have been thinking about trading my MT07 in on a small displacement sport bike to begin track riding with and this thing looks perfect!

Nice bike ❤

just to correct you guys at 3:10 The ninja Zx-4r (the inline 4 model) has dual breaks up front. JS

Considering the '24 Ninja "500" is a 451 making less HP and weighting 3 pounds more wet, this bike has real potential depending on the MSRP.

The segment is blowing up because they're actually afforable

Love to see a track comparison against a 90s NC30

Another new competitor is the CFMOTO 450SS.

More features with the cfmoto 450. If you must have that Italian name I suppose but my money will be better spent on the 450

The way he was saying small 400 cc bike, like it's a 125cc bike, 400cc is more than enough for our regular roads, we don't have MotoGP track on road.

It’s a beautiful thing

Price is already on their website and they are now taking pre-orders starting $6,799 MSRP

6,799 isn't bad all that tech and such a pretty bike.

It’s going to be in the 8000-9000 range

They need to keep the price of this around the £6000 mark I would have thought, otherwise customers will just go for a second hand RS660! You can pick a second hand 660 up for between £6500-£7500. Here in the UK, depending on mileage!!

😂🤣🤣Oh no he didn't...Big "BIKE" energy. Funniest on this channel since Tailgate scene!

Good bike

How about ZX4RR?

What are you comparing? Japanese ninja is unrivaled and will remain unrivaled.🏍️

Love it, but I think a few more BHP wouldn’t have gone amiss, to see off the Competition, especially the Chinese!!

I would take SR50 as their entry level.

How much is it? I was abouta order the cfmoto450ss till I seen this I eqnted to see the price. I still think I like the lights and style and color more on the cfmoto. Doesn't the cfmoto Bea the ninja 400 already?

Gotta see a CFMoto 450ss vs the This

It also has a 15L fuel tank at 47 horsepower you’ll probably get 250 miles easy on a tank maybe even more

“Affordable Italian sports bike” that sounds scary to me 😂

The engine sounds pretty good, but I'm not much of a sport bike guy. I personally kind of wish Aprilia would take this opportunity to make a less high-strung successor to their SXV/RXV/MXV bikes from a decade ago by putting this engine into a Supermoto/Dual-Sport chassis. They could make a bike around this engine that will be equally good at carving twisty canyon roads, hopping curbs and navigating traffic in the city, and tackling gravel fire roads for a weekend camping trip. At the same time it won't vibrate your hands numb on the highway like many single cylinder Supermoto and Dual-Sport bikes. If they can shave off 40 or 50 pounds from the sport bike version by removing the bodywork and tweaking the rest of the bike here and there, even better. It won't be as light and nimble off road as a competition dirt bike, but it will be much better on road and would be a worthy competitor to something like the DRZ400, which frankly is a segment that could use some competition.

No one compared with Cfmoto 450ss 😂 The best value bike

There is a reason the price wasn’t announced.

can anyone talk about which beginner bike is good . cf moto450 ss , aprilia rs 457, ninja 400, rc 390, I'm thinking about to get one . just confuse which one will be the best.

There’s not enough power to need diff ride mode!!

Styling is wrong at the front. Wish they had done a rs250 style retro racer. They looked amazing. Would have sold millions

Ninja 400 makes less horsepower, because it is lighter and A2 is 0,2kW/kg. Both nail A2 category in power to weight ratio.

I miss my Honda CB-1 If you know, then you know

I won't buy first year model just because it's built in India. Wouldn't touch the KTM... For someone older like me, this is the perfect bike- small light powerful enough cheap (to a point). And also beautiful. Let's see if it's reliable

Good to see bikes made in india but i just put a deposit on ninja 500 here in usa. Much better and cheaper.

youre tellin me that thing is cheaper than the rs125? fire

A "cheap" Aprillia is terrifying lmao

I need tuono 457. Looking forward for that.

6999.99 id get one

Ninja 500 (450cc) is coming 2024. Not much difference to 400, Kwasaki is still not using usd forks in 2024, just a tiny bit torqier engine. If the price is right RS 457 will probably be a better bike, if the engine turns out to be reliable that is.

It's a great looking bike but exceeding 400cc is basically a death sentence in the Japanese market at least. We have tiered motorcycle license with your standard license allowing up to 400cc displacement, hence why Japan makes so many 400 bikes in its history. I doubt anyone would take the time and money to get a unlimited license only to ride this bike, especially considering they won't be a beginner. Interesting that it has 47HP despite bigger displacement than the N400 which has 48HP (in Japan). Between the Italian reliability, no dealer network, parts availability and pricing, this is lukewarm offering imo. Aprilia should have gone higher in displacement or given us an in-line 4 instead. Ninja400 ain't the most exciting bike out there but at least it is proven reliable and very customizable with crazy amount of aftermarket support.

Why cant thy put tiny wheels on there knee pads

CFMoto 450 Still looks better on tech and design, I think she is the new 400 queen whit out a doubt

Ninja 400 is 48hp while zx4r is 78hp

Please review more CFMOTO products. They really carry a good value. Such as the CLX 700 Sport which carries dual Brembo Stylema front brakes, KYB suspensions, MAXXIS tires, etc. And only selling for a fraction to the Euro models and also a lot cheaper than Japanese bikes.

I think the RS 457 will be reliable enough for most people. Know someone who put on 17000 hard miles in one year on an RS660. No issues. I think the quality of Aprilia is more premium than a ninja 400. Im am adult, I appreciate quality, Im not as worried if it may not be as reliable as a ninja 400. They look pretty junkie stock. The RS 457 will be more reliable than most haters think. Any first year kinks will likely be honored by Aprilia as well. It looks amazing in photos and videos like a true race bike just slightly smaller. KTM RC 390 would be a butt kicker too if they went to a two cyclinder 400 or 450.

Make in India 🇮🇳

Someone should teach them how to make a 4 Cylinder engine. Their bikes look perfect but sound like tractor. Learn from Kawasaki.

this bike is not cheap.

I don't like it's design 😢

Please also include metric figures when presenting...majority of the world uses this system!

A New Engine, from Aprilia, already with sketchy reliability issues and with this model made in India, thats the formula for a reliability Shit-Show. Good luck to the beta testers dopey enough to get a first year model of this Bike.

...don ' t waste your money

Aprilia’s are awesome. The performance and styling is great. But they will never be a Ninja killer….because Ninja’s don’t breakdown on the freeway💯✔️🏍️🔥

Meh I haven’t seen an Aprilia last that long.🥷
