Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica unveiled at EICMA 2025, brings MotoGP-inspired styling to entry sport segment

Aprilia has introduced the RS 457 GP Replica at EICMA 2025, expanding its small-capacity sportbike range with a special-edition model that draws direct visual cues from the manufacturer's MotoGP race machines.

The Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica is powered by the same 457cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine as the standard RS 457. The DOHC unit with four valves per cylinder produces 47.6hp and 65Nm of torque. The mechanical setup, including the six-speed gearbox, remains unchanged.

Visually, the GP Replica mirrors the factory MotoGP livery with a combination of gloss and matte black surfaces, complete with official sponsor graphics. The aluminium frame, swingarm and steering plate feature a black finish, giving the motorcycle a track-derived appearance.

Aprilia has equipped the GP Replica with a few notable upgrades. These include a standard quick-shifter for clutchless gear changes, higher-friction front brake pads for improved stopping power, and a single-seat cover replacing the passenger seat. Electronic features such as ride-by-wire throttle, three ride modes (Sport, Eco, and Rain), adjustable traction control and switchable rear ABS are carried over from the base model.
