US outlet TopSpeed spotlighted the Aprilia RS 457 — a 457cc parallel-twin making 47 horsepower, weighing around 385 pounds, and starting at $6,849 — arguing that on public roads, a bike with restrained output is 'more fun' than a liter-class superbike with twice the power. The piece credits the demand it places on precise corner entry and braking.

Not being able to use a liter-class superbike's full power on public roads is just an everyday reality out there. Corner entry, braking, the drive out — with a 457cc engine that won't quietly correct your mistakes for you, the rider's actual skill shows up directly in the lap time. It's a good reminder that speed alone isn't what gives a bike its value.

Sounds like a solid fit for a first bike, kind of curious about it.

47 hp at 385 pounds — that power-to-weight number isn't bad at all.

Factor in running costs and this is clearly the smarter buy.

Used to be all about raw power when I was younger, but I get this now.

For $6,849 you get a bike you can actually wring out — sounds like plenty of fun.

Still can't match the drama of a CBR or something like that, though.
