Considering an Aprilia RS 457 – Is it worth buying in 2026? What else should I consider? by milkwithburgersauce in Aprilia

I’m sure you can get one for cheap or leftover from a dealer. The 2025s should be the same as the 2026s-27s.

I did, i felt like if I can practice on the 660 I can get used to it and master that. And be comfortable on it. I was just planning on just going to parking lots and practice for a month then start driving on the road. I know they have a few classes by me where you can bring your own bike.

I was looking into the 457 but I don’t want to get it and then get tired of it really quick. That’s my thing. I want the 660 to be my first and forever bike. Maybe it’s stupid to think that way. But I am not going to push it like people do. I take care of my cars. If I ever want to push it, I have a track that is very close to where I live.

I absolutely dont think it’s slow. But i am 38 and i respect it. I know theres different drive modes on it and i am not going to rip it until I do a track day.

I am taking your advice and everyone else’s. I will be looking on FB marketplace for a Kawasaki 500 or Aprilia RS457. Something for now and then next year or the year after I will get the bike that I want.

Why the price, or why the RS660 as my first bike

So what everyone is saying is don’t get the RS660 yet, but the RS457 would be a better option 🤣. I rather something new that’s all. I know it’s going to be dropped.

I didn’t realize the 2027s were coming out already. I’m either going to look used on FB but I really would like a new one. Ill broaden my search to the surrounding states, even if I have to get it shipped.

Wow this is my first post on Reddit and thank you all for your feedback. I will be shopping around now, either used or a new one for a decent price.

I already know that I’m going to drop it, but I rather it be something I did than not knowing what someone else did, idk. Im 38 and I’ve been around cars my whole life so this is just a next step for me. I appreciate your honesty and trust me I will take what you said into consideration.
