Aprilia RS 457 Bike Deliveries To Begin This Month

The Aprilia RS 457 was launched in India in December 2023 at the India Bike Week at a starting price of Rs 4.10 lakh. 

• The first batch of deliveries includes 100 units, which will be delivered through 31 dealerships of Aprilia across India.
• The RS 457 is Aprilia’s first made-in-India motorcycle.
• It is powered by a liquid-cooled, parallel-twin, 457cc engine. 

Aprilia has confirmed that it will start deliveries of the much-anticipated RS 457 sports bike to its customers in March 2023. The dispatches of Aprilia RS 457 will begin in the coming days, with the first batch consisting of 100 units to be delivered through 31 dealerships of Aprilia by the end of this month. The Aprilia RS 457 was launched at Rs 4.10 lakh (ex-showroom, India), with the motorcycle rivalling the Yamaha R3, KTM RC 390 and Kawasaki Ninja 400. 

The Aprilia RS 457 debuted in India ahead of the Indian MotoGP event that took place in September 2023, followed by its price announcement and public display at the India Bike Week in December 2023. 

The first Aprilia motorcycle to be made in India, the new RS 457, has been positioned below the RS 660 and has become the most affordable motorcycle from Aprilia in India. The local production of Aprilia RS 457 is happening at Piaggio’s production facility in Baramati (Maharashtra), where other Aprilia and Vespa scooters are also made. 

While the first batch will include only 100 units, the deliveries of Aprilia RS 457 will begin in full swing from the next month through all of its 31 dealerships. Aprilia is also eyeing increasing the production of the motorcycle, considering that the RS 457 is made in India and exported to many parts of the world.
