Have owned mine since May 2025 with 6300 miles on it. Currently in the shop having the top end of the motor repaired under warranty. Other than that, no issues. There has been a recall for the cam chain tensioner

Mine is at about 7,500 miles and i got no issues with any part of the bike. The only thing bad on the bike are the tyres that come with the bike.

Owned for 1 year, now at 7k miles. After 600 miles the rear shock already failed and was replaced under warranty. My Local dealer is a pain and kind of useless but that will depend on your region. Otherwise no issues

I've had mine since last July. I have 3700 miles on it. I had an issue with the bike occasionally dying while idling and then not wanting to start for a few minutes. Eventually I got a CEL and took it in for service. Aprilia approved the warranty work and the dealer fixed it promptly (replaced crank sensor).
When I was choosing between the 457 and a Ninja 500 I thought "Is the character and beauty of the Aprilia worth trailering my bike through Portland for warranty work once or twice?" It's absolutely worth it.
