"The best-looking small sportsbike money can currently buy used."

$5,500-$7,500 used

The RS 457 is Aprilia finally cracking the accessible sportsbike code, and used examples are starting to filter through at genuinely tempting prices. The parallel twin punches well above its displacement — smooth, rev-happy, and with enough torque to keep you grinning without constantly chasing the redline. Ergonomics are proper sportsbike aggressive, so weekend blasts feel brilliant while daily commuting will punish your wrists over distance. Build quality is impressive for the segment, though early examples had some fueling hiccups that dealers patched via software updates — always ask for service history and confirm the ECU flash was done. On used examples, check the fairings religiously. These attract newer riders who occasionally introduce the bike to tarmac at low speeds. Suspension is decent stock but slightly firm for rougher roads. The riding modes and traction control are genuinely useful rather than gimmicky, which matters when you're buying someone else's mistake. Avoid anything under 2023 without full documentation.
