2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 Preview With Video

Fresh from Aprilia for the 2025 model year is its Tuono 457 naked bike as announced at Italy’s EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. This vehicle is based on the also-new RS 457 sportbike which we reported on during the Everything You Need to Know - 2025 Aprilia RS 457 Review article and video.

“Aprilia made a thrilling return to the lightweight motorcycle market in 2024 with the launch of the RS 457,” said Marco d’Acunzo, president and CEO of Piaggio Group Americas. “Aprilia has developed this model to offer class-leading performance and design. As with its larger displacement siblings, it made sense that a Tuono version would follow.”

The Tuono 457 marks Aprilia’s first venture into the small-displacement naked-bike category. Designed for A2 license holders (in Europe), it offers a more upright and comfortable riding position with a single-piece handlebar, distinguishing it from its faired sibling.

As its name suggests, this streetbike is powered by a 457cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that’s good for 47 hp. Power is transferred to the back tire via a cable-actuated, wet slipper clutch (awesome), six-speed transmission, and chain final drive. An electronic quickshifter is available as an OE accessory. The powertrain is wrapped in a real twin-spar aluminum frame and aluminum swingarm, with a non-linkage-equipped direct-mount shock and 41mm inverted fixed-damping fork. With a full tank of fuel the little Tuono weighs approximately 380 pounds..

“The Tuono 457 features a top-tier chassis and high-quality finishes that meet the expectations of today’s riders,” d’Acunzo told us. “With its striking new look, this model is set to attract a wider audience to the esteemed Aprilia brand.”

The neat thing about these Tuono naked bikes is they have tons of character. They’re fun to ride, they look super sleek, and they have all the bells and whistles like ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, and a 5-inch color TFT dash. The Tuono 457 arrives in America next year with a retail cost of only $6,599. This model is designed in Noale, Italy, and assembled in a Piaggio Group–owned factory in India.
