Hi from a 64 year old fogey from the UK😁 Really enjoyed watching your video and I know exactly where you’re coming from regarding comfort. I bought an RS457 as a stablemate for my RS250 and it’s so comfortable to ride. I’m 5Ft 10in & everything about it fits perfect like a glove. A great little bike for young & old.
Glad to hear you loved the Rs457. I am going to wait for the naked variant Tuono 457. That engine from all the reviews sounds beautiful and has such a wide and usable power band. Closest thing to a Ducati for us Indians.
I drive and dont own a motorcycle at present. But came across your channel once and never held back listening to it. Its very relaxing and the way at which you present has every essence of your experiences from the distance you have covered. . Iam in my early 30s and haven't listened to any review which is as enthusiastic as yours. So i consider you the young guns and to conceive you as old lads is too good to be true. Kudos to you sir.
The thing you are saying from 3:30 till 7:00 is exactly what I feel too everytime I switch between my Honda CB350 RS and Aprilia RS 457... Aprilia fits like a glove as you stated... What a bike.. perfect for those weekend fast rides on highways for that little bit of excitement...
Dear Bosskey, CK- waiting for this a for a while. A BIG thank you!! You have a middle aged person here riding a 2024 R3. CK said towards the end “a forgiving motor cycle “, that’s what these 457 and R3 are. They are god like motorcycles you can’t find much faults. Except for price I couldn’t find any fault in R3. That too it makes up in reliability and service. I use R3 for daily commute from JP Nagar to Hebbal.. completely comfortable with 169 kg and 42 bhp on tap. Absolutely no back aches because of the sitting posture and a fantastic suspension tuning. Yes I do mini saddling in those terrible patches. Have done some 4 hours touring with R3. Trust me absolutely zero back pain in Tarmac. I don’t do off roads. After 4 hours I will feel bit of discomfort in my meteor but nothing in R3. That’s when Bosskey I related to your sitting posture diagram 😂.. Now you guys are opening gates for these sports tourers. Eagerly waiting for comparisons, touring ability, luggage capacity, service etc. I am sure I can’t ask for pillion 😜..
I can relate to your points, I recently rode the 457 from Pune to Kanniyakumari to Rameshwaram and back to Pune, approx 3700 kms in 6 days. I found it to be comfortable and the engine is just fabulous.. on demand power surge ! Very smooth and very planted motorcycle.
Firstly... a big surprise to see u on a sports wheel. Yet ur feel towards the machine is genuine as usual. And this video exposed ur mimic skills over motors😂😂😂
That bike is one of the most welcoming sports bike. It does not feel overly aggressive but is one when you need it to be. I am not a fan of faired bikes but that bike feels really "friendly" i don't know why. Engine is Smooth, a bit on the louder side for my ears. The weight distribution seems on spot. I can only imagine how it might feel on the track...
Nice to see sir enjoying the Aprilia, i got one although i never loved sports bike, more of a naked bike person, goes perfectly with my duke 390. Also information for browsky- sir touraeg 457 is already in testing and by spy shots looks absolutely fantastic.
I have a 390 adventure and a 457. I can relate to this feeling. Though i end up using 457 only for weekend fun , but it brings smile every time i ride. Don't know what, but something ison point with this.
That's ehat i lovw about italian bikes these bikes have character man ridden sk1r but that things get boring had a pleasure to rsv4 and damn man idk why but there's something which is in v4 but not in s1kr aprilias are fun man
In the last 3 months, I had taken test drives of all the 400cc bikes.. and RS 457 put the biggest smile on my face. Dedicated sports position is not for me but when Tuono comes, I will throw my money at that engine 🎉
I had the same dilemma whether I would get adjusted to the RS457 due to the sportier riding position after a decade of using the KTM 390 Duke and the RD350. Well glad to say I echo your thoughts and with a bit of understanding and getting used to, I'm enjoying riding the RS457. A Bangalore to Trivandrum via Munnar trip coming up on the RS457 this X'mas. Happy X'mas guys!!
Fantastic 😍 bosky well explained your jewels r really priceless 😅 I tested the same Aprilia bike on nice road Mysore highway was able to reach 185+ this italian engines r not refined like japanese brands what i feel in high RPM it was roaring ❤👌🤔
11:56 that Italian accent 🤌🤌🤌🤌 Also nice to see you both talking about a sports motorcycle for a change.. Question: how practical is it as a daily commuter in India ? I think I already know the answer..
I'm six_two. Aprilia has, somehow, created an ergonomic seating position that makes you feel at home, at one with the bike. I, personally, don't find this on any other sports bike. edit: apologies, meant to say, up to your usual excellent, and funny, standard. thank you.
Im planning to swap my gt to rs 457, is more sporty. But I love my gt 650 and i dont have enough space and money to own both. And delhi has only one service center for aprilia
Dear bears, this is unrelated to this bike.. but have you not had a chance to ride new updated Yezdi Adventure 2024.. I found that bike interesting now.. could you please share if you are planning to get a test vehicle
Hey guys! So glad you liked the aprilla! Welcome back to the dark side! But on a serious note how does this suspension compare to the bew Duke 390? Cause when I rode the Duke I was very impressed with how good that suspension was even on not great roads! Plus it's very adjustable! How does this compare?
A ha! Another sports bike fanboy! Im a few months shy of 60 and riding the Speed 400 for the last 14000 kms....and enjoying every km, though it isnt a proper sports bike but close. The Tuono 457 is on my radar, seems like a worthy upgrade? And yes, next time you try your hand at Italian, a certain granny in Lutyens Delhi is going to have you by your family jewels!🤣
does it feel significantly faster than the himalayan 450 ? is the suspension comfort close to it as well ? I have a himalayan and love it considering selling that and getting rs457, would it be a good "upgrade" per se ?
Bosky sir, between this and Duke 390 which would be your pick, though one is a sports tourer and the other a naked. Could you please do a video on Duke 390 as well? Thanks.
Hello. I have a question, what is your thought on Benelli 502X, I kind of like that bike, I am also thinking of BMW 310GS. Kindly let me know your thoughts. Thank you..
We are not familiar with the Benelli and hence unable to comment. The 310 has been around a while and due for a big update. Don’t know if that’ll happen but possible.

Wow 🙏😊
Can’t wait for Bhosky to swap the BSA for an Aprilia!🤣🧘♂️
Wait bro he has not riden Goan 😅
😀 no swapping anything in my garage for the moment.
Replace one letter and all hell will break loose
Sports bike was what am also looking out now. Please make more on these kind of sports bikes!!!!!
😊
Will check on this possibility. Thanks.
Thank you Sir, I wanted to book a Himalayan now after a lot of back and forth thought... Now my mind is clear that I should buy Aprilia
Enjoy your rides. 👍

Hey! Many thanks for sharing your experience. Enjoy your rides.
We need more locally made sporty twin. Glad to see tvs/ bmw is making a 450 twin as well.
Did I just witness two old guns fawning over a sports motorcycle? Damn Aprilia! What have you done 🤯🤯
Exactly! What have they done??? 😀
Glad you made this video, having a Himalayan I also have the khujli to have a sports bike. 😅

Incredible 🔥

that last comment of response time was all i was waiting for from somebody on yt...thanks for sharing that...i can breathe with a plan to buy one...😅
Enjoy your rides.
Very good Italian impression, I believe you should do more of the impression, very witty as well
😀🙏
bosky uncle u surprised him,,i know that's the drama but yes it was so pure .
Amazing review! What a vibe 😍
U guys are day by day going young, God bless u for long healthy happiness life❤❤❤
🙏
waiting for this engine to go on the tuareg 457.. cant wait for the launch next year!!
That bike is one of the most welcoming sports bike. It does not feel overly aggressive but is one when you need it to be. I am not a fan of faired bikes but that bike feels really "friendly" i don't know why.
Engine is Smooth, a bit on the louder side for my ears. The weight distribution seems on spot.
I can only imagine how it might feel on the track...
We think the same. Cheers!
6:59 c.k - you still use them 😂😂😂😂😂😂
that was hilarious 🤣🤣
use it or not, it definately doesnt hurt keeping them safe and in good shape 😂
🙌😀
RS457 is truly a segment killer 💥
Hello BB SIR, waiting to see your review Vlog on Maverick 440 comparing with nonetheless the Harley 440.....
Dream bike ❤
Nice to see sir enjoying the Aprilia, i got one although i never loved sports bike, more of a naked bike person, goes perfectly with my duke 390. Also information for browsky- sir touraeg 457 is already in testing and by spy shots looks absolutely fantastic.

Brilliant product at a killer price. That pedigree as well.

Sounds like you're already sold on the engine! 👍
@bigbearbangalore Yes, everything came together very nicely.. I still get goosebumps remembering that ride 🔥❤️
Throughly enjoyed your conversation ❤
Thanks, glad you did. 👍
6:57 'My Jewels are very safe here'. 😂😂😂😂 I thought this bike is a jewel thief. 😂😂😂😂
I’d thought so too but after riding I was proved wrong. 😀
@bigbearbangalore 😜😜🙏
Sir actually I love the video that you two appear 😊
I use to feel at home between tiger and daytona, not coz of the posture, it was due to inline 3 😂
Lmao, the twist😂

Team-bhp bike of the year
Tuorno 457 was revealed at eicma if i am not mistaken
B: My jewels are very safe here.
CK: You still use them?
B: Yeah.
Fantastic 😍 bosky well explained your jewels r really priceless 😅 I tested the same Aprilia bike on nice road Mysore highway was able to reach 185+ this italian engines r not refined like japanese brands what i feel in high RPM it was roaring ❤👌🤔
🫡👍 the Jap engines feel more refined, yes.
At last, Bosky likes an Italian 🇮🇹 "Pizza" ..... 😅
I wasn't expecting you guys fawning over it. Beforet, I wanted it; now i need it.
11:56 that Italian accent 🤌🤌🤌🤌
Also nice to see you both talking about a sports motorcycle for a change..
Question: how practical is it as a daily commuter in India ? I think I already know the answer..
🙏
Practicality and sports motorcycles don’t go quite well together. 😊
there are 2 ninja 400s indeed, twin cylinder 400 which got replaced by ninja 500, and. zx4r inline 4 supersport
So torn between this Aprilia and the Himalayan 450.
I know, I know both are different segments....the heart wants both, wallet says can only buy one 😭
Oooh! That’s a conundrum!
"you still use 'em?" was the showstopper lol
🫡
Bamboozled ❤
Interesting 💭
I'm going for a test ride soon!!
Let us know how it goes!
2:40 -Ninja 400 is not inline 4, zx4r is inline 4, both are different bikes and sold in india
Noted thanks
Himalayan 450 or Bear 650 which is better if you go for long ride once in a month.. Mostly city ride
Quite different they are. Quite different. Test ride back to back to know more about them to know which you enjoy more.
Sir bosky is sweet 16 again😁
I'm six_two. Aprilia has, somehow, created an ergonomic seating position that makes you feel at home, at one with the bike. I, personally, don't find this on any other sports bike.
edit: apologies, meant to say, up to your usual excellent, and funny, standard. thank you.
Nice to know this. Enjoy your rides.
I have a feeling you are going to Love the Tuono 457 more...
Ah ha! Looking forward to it.
Im planning to swap my gt to rs 457, is more sporty. But I love my gt 650 and i dont have enough space and money to own both. And delhi has only one service center for aprilia
You still use them.. lmao.. i wish to have friends like this at that age
😃🙌
I just get back pain just watching sportsbike review 😅
😀
Dear bears, this is unrelated to this bike.. but have you not had a chance to ride new updated Yezdi Adventure 2024.. I found that bike interesting now.. could you please share if you are planning to get a test vehicle
Will check on the possibility of trying out the Yezdi adventure
Hey guys! So glad you liked the aprilla! Welcome back to the dark side! But on a serious note how does this suspension compare to the bew Duke 390? Cause when I rode the Duke I was very impressed with how good that suspension was even on not great roads! Plus it's very adjustable! How does this compare?
We need to ride it back to back to share accurate feedback. Will check on this possibility.
Bhosky on an Aprilia..!! Holy Shit.... Now I can die peacefully
😃😃😃
@@kabira8350 I'm sure someone already said this but here goes: we got Bosky on Aprilia before GTA VI 😜
there is a retro version coming under moto guzzi brand with that same engine❤❤
Oh wow! Ok.
For the intro.. I thought u would be pulling a stoppie if not a wheelie!!!
Not yet not yet 😀
4:45 The typical gaslighting we do to our family when we are itching to buy yet another motorcycle😂
Oldies have the $$$
Buy the Himalayan 450 mate❤ suggestion from the another 450owner🙏🏻❤
Hello, have you installed fuelx on your scrambler yet? If so, please make a video or short about your experience .
Haven’t installed.
Hi Bosky! Did you pick up the tubeless rims for the Himalayan 450? Could you please do a review pros/cons if and when you test them?
Not yet. Awaiting them. And I’ve shared a few of my views on those rims on Instagram.
Can we replace 2021 interceptor cluster with new Himalayan 450 cluster?
Please advise on this.
Not possible.
A ha! Another sports bike fanboy! Im a few months shy of 60 and riding the Speed 400 for the last 14000 kms....and enjoying every km, though it isnt a proper sports bike but close. The Tuono 457 is on my radar, seems like a worthy upgrade? And yes, next time you try your hand at Italian, a certain granny in Lutyens Delhi is going to have you by your family jewels!🤣
Santa Maria 😳
😂😂😂
does it feel significantly faster than the himalayan 450 ? is the suspension comfort close to it as well ?
I have a himalayan and love it considering selling that and getting rs457, would it be a good "upgrade" per se ?
It is faster. The rest is not a comparison cos they are so different in design and purpose. Test ride to know more.
I see this is your first impression sir regarding the comfort and ride ergonomics, will your opinion change for a long term review?
Exactly. I can only say whether it will change or not after riding it for longer
Bosky sir, between this and Duke 390 which would be your pick, though one is a sports tourer and the other a naked. Could you please do a video on Duke 390 as well? Thanks.
At the moment I’d prefer this because it’s roomier and spaced out a little more.
This is a sports tourer. Still no competition to the gen 1 rc 390 which is no compromise
Yes I would put it closer to that class. Sports Tourer.
Ninja 400 is a parallel twin and not an inline 4.
The 400cc inline 4 you are thinking about is called ZX-4R / ZX-4RR
Noted and that’s the reference we tried to make.
Hello. I have a question, what is your thought on Benelli 502X, I kind of like that bike, I am also thinking of BMW 310GS. Kindly let me know your thoughts. Thank you..
We are not familiar with the Benelli and hence unable to comment. The 310 has been around a while and due for a big update. Don’t know if that’ll happen but possible.
The way he didn't even care to try to at least remotely realise that it might be you on a sports bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sir what about the brakes are they preforming well ??
Love from Hyderabad ❤
Yes they seem quite adequate.
Are the brakes up to the mark ?? I heard the brakes are not good.. What's your thought Mr Bosky ?
I found them adequate. Again, depends on what those who said the brakes are not adequate were doing? Racing? Top speed test?
@bigbearbangalore Yes..
Ok then perhaps it is so.
Sir what ability the service? Is it expensive to maintain
Don’t know yet. Hope some owners can share info on this.
❤
Sir, do u think this is a beginner- friendly bike for youngsters ??
Yes it can be.
The only downside is there are not much of service centre and the main deal comes after 30000 kms
Yes there are only a few service centres.
For big tummy ?will this be ok to ride ?
I don’t know. One needs to try it to know.
Bosky sir please try bmw g310rr
Will check on this. Have ridden the 310GS and didn’t enjoy the overly buzzy engine on that.
Aeeyy ,KA 41 plate... Elli Nam Jnanabharthi la iradu neevu?

lmao , i had to increase the playback speed to watch an aprilia rs 457 review
Awesome! Too old two slow foggies. You’re a young gun in a hurry I assume.
That too is a charm !! Keep up the good work @@bigbearbangalore
Handlebar should be lower and now commited
Otherwise I am not interested
Oook. And, I quite like where the handlebar is now.
