APRILIA RSV Mille R The APRILIA RSV Mille R is a technological gem, fruit of the same design philosophy guiding development of the SP. An important result in terms of design and construction, making the RSV Mille R a new standard setter among competitors, a perfectly balanced mix of quality, technology, components and finish at an absolutely competitive price. The engine benefits from the new technical systems and modifications designed for the RSV Mille "Year 2000 Model", with specific mapping. A series of improvements have been introduced to the powerful and reliable longitudinal 60° V twin engine with four valves per cylinder timing and double cam shaft in the cylinder head, controlled by a mixed chain and gear system , increasing efficiency, range of use and performance. An exclusive characteristic is the new stainless steel oil tank to guarantee seal, quality and reliability even in the most extreme conditions. Considerable work has also been invested in the transmission, with the addition of a riveted link for extra safety, given the extreme use to be expected of a machine designed for track use. The clutch assembly has been completely reviewed and improved. As well as new aeronautical style metal braid tubing, the new disks are made from a different friction material from the one used previously to help improve efficiency, working life and technical characteristics. The pressure on the spring has also been lightened, reducing the resistance on the clutch lever and thus making it easier to use.
Advantages: It looks ooooh so sexy, my wrists don't ache Disadvantages: a wing mirror costs a fortune so don't drop it
I've come from an old Aprilla Mille (2002) to the new model mille R, and it is absolutley fabulous. The Italians have done it again, with a new sleeky design and although they deny doing any major overhauls to the beautiful V twin engine it feels faster and even more torqueier( is that a real word) The new design has one floor though, which is the indicators being integrated into the mirrors. This means you have to be so careful not to clip any stray ... ...as these little beasties can knock you back arround £200.
This is a bike that needs nurturing and caring for, as you will only really feel the best out of this bike after a good 2000 miles, when the engine is loosen up and run in. I know this type of bike is seen as a mid life crisis on wheels, but once you're bitten you are forever smitten, keep your SUZIE GIXER and your Yammy R1, The italians excel in motorbikes, the same way they excel in cars.
