Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia RS 457 2025

The Aprilia RS 457 presents itself as an impressive bike in the A2 category, with its harmonious combination of powerful engine, sporty riding dynamics and appealing design. The engine delivers dynamic power and the suspension offers a sporty and precise riding experience. The ergonomics and sound also contribute to a positive overall impression. However, there are weaknesses in the brakes, particularly in terms of modulation and the behaviour of the ABS system at the limit.

Ducati SuperSport S 2017

The Ducati Supersport S is the choice if you want to go to the race track more often. The fully adjustable Öhlins suspension is not only a visual hit, but also does its job superbly. The built-in quickshifter with blipper function is also a must-have. Even inexperienced race track riders will quickly feel at home on the Supersport S and have a lot of fun with it.
