Aprilia motorcycles

Three Aprilia models on the books, from the SX 125 at €4,199 to the RS 457 at €7,050, scored between 44.2 and 52.2 out of 100. Scores are computed within each bike's own class, so the small bikes are ranked against their own rivals rather than against their bigger siblings; the Aprilia that does best in its class is the Tuono 457 at 52.2. The SX 125 is the lightest at 136 kg wet and the cheapest at €4,199; the RS 457 is the longest between oil services at 10,000 km. Scheduled servicing runs from roughly €300 per 10,000 km on the RS 457 to €425 on the SX 125, on the workshop rates published with every maintenance guide. The most powerful is the RS 457 with 47.6 hp, which the formula weighs against weight, price and running costs rather than taking at face value. Every figure comes from a spec sheet and feeds the same 100-point formula, so the order below is arithmetic rather than brand loyalty. Each card links to the bike's maintenance guide and its closest head to heads, and the table underneath puts the whole range in one place.
