The Aprilia RS 457 has breathed new life into the sub-500cc supersport twin segment. But, is it the best supersport twin for you? To find out, we pitched it against its arch rivals, the new Yamaha R3 and Kawasaki Ninja 500, over a 300 km road-trip along the coastal roads of Konkan.
These roads threw everything at the three contenders - city traffic, straight highways, winding mountain roads, broken and bumpy tarmacs, and what have you! It’s fair to say that it was a ‘real world’ test for these machines in India in the true sense.
So, which one’s the best overall? Hear it from Aakash, Karan, and Shivank as they camp along a beachfront and get down to each and every detail that matters, and give you their final verdict after riding these bikes for over 300km.
