Aprilia RS 457 is a sport motorcycle, displacing 457 cc. Power comes from a Four stroke, forward facing parallel twin, DOHC with silent chain drive on the right side, four valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of n/a. On the performance side, it delivers 35 kW @ 9400 rpm of peak power and 43.5 Nm @ 6700 rpm of torque. On the road, the 2025 RS 457 tips the scales at 176 kg, carries a 12.7-litre fuel tank and offers a seat height of 795 mm. That's roughly 26.7 kg lighter than the average sport motorcycle in our database. The full 2025 Aprilia RS 457 spec sheet below covers every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2025 RS 457 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: With 35 kW @ 9400 rpm and 43.5 Nm @ 6700 rpm of torque on tap, the RS 457 is no slouch for its class.
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.

Considerations

Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

RS 457's Liquid cooled with radiator and water-oil heat exchanger setup is low-maintenance provided the coolant interval is kept - old, acidic coolant is the main cause of long-term corrosion in the water passages.

Fuelling & injector care

The fuel injection on the RS 457 needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.

Brake disc and pad wear

Braking up front comes from Single Ø 320 mm floating disc. ByBre 4-piston radial caliper - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.

Suspension condition on used examples

The RS 457's suspension runs ø 41mm USD fork, adjustable preload at the front. The rear uses Monoshock, adjustable preload. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.

Final drive maintenance

The RS 457 uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.

Frame & chassis check

Built around a Twin spar aluminum frame, the RS 457's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.

RS 457 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

Before handing over money for a used 2025 Aprilia RS 457, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, chain and sprocket wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy RS 457 should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.

Oil and filter changes

Nothing protects a RS 457's engine like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.

Fuel system care

Fuel injection on the RS 457 needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
