Pros and Cons in comparison
Aprilia RS 457 2026
The Aprilia RS 457 is an impressive bike in the A2 category, winning over riders with its harmonious combination of a powerful engine, sporty handling and attractive design. The engine delivers dynamic power, whilst the suspension offers a sporty and precise riding experience. The ergonomics and the 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 when riding at the limits.
Kawasaki Ninja 650 2023
Judging the Kawasaki Ninja 650 purely on paper does not do justice to its potential. The engine is clearly not an engine bursting with power for the race track, but an agile but well-behaved journeyman. The sports tourer with supersport looks does exactly what it is supposed to do and presents itself as a real alternative in its class with its appropriate electronics package including traction control. Hobby racers should be warned, however, that the Ninja in the name still fuels a certain sporty expectation that a Ninja 650 cannot fully fulfil.
