Aprilia’s entry-level supersport is coming to the Philippines
Back in EICMA 2023, Aprilia teased fans with the announcement of the RS 457 – the brand’s entry-level supersport motorcycle that is inspired by the Noale-based manufacturer’s flagship model, the RSV4 superbike.
In January, Aprilia started production of the RS 457 at Piaggio’s Baramati Plant in India. This facility is also home to Piaggio’s small scooters and 3-wheelers.
Today, Motociclista Scatola, Inc., (MSI), announced that the new Aprilia RS 457 will be landing on our shores this coming August. The SRP: PHP 348,000.
The new Aprilia RS 457 is powered by a liquid-cooled, parallel twin-cylinder engine, capable of producing 45 PS of power and tips the scales at only 175 kg (wet) weight. The RS 457 is seen as Italy’s answer to KTM’s RC 390, Kawasaki’s Ninja 400, and Honda’s CBR 500R.
