| Re: Aprilia Mille R Factory One word: WOW
This is an incredible looking motorcycle. There wasn't one thing about the bike that I didn't like. I like the dual pipes, the tail section is a work of art and the new front fairing is pretty damn cool too. 420 pounds fully gassed up and ready to go.
Very nice. |

| Re: Aprilia Mille R Factory Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me. I went to visit a friend who owns an Aprilia shop and he had just finished taking one out of the crate. I asked him how much it weighed cuz it looked VERY small and well...lightweight. He said about 408-420 and seeing as I know him (and he knows I'm not buying) I tend to believe him. |

| Re: Aprilia Mille R Factory What is RRW? I don't know, man. Just passing on what I was told. Either way, it is a beautiful bike. |

| Re: Aprilia Mille R Factory 3 years old and I've only had the opportunity to sell 2 of these things.  I still think they're kick ass bikes!  |

| Re: Aprilia Mille R Factory The Bro has the 05 Factory Erre. The 'stock' pril is an 'R', the Factory is next level up, built at the Erre Factory. The finish is to die for...blue, aluminium billit wheels, even the nipple caps on the wheels are Italia flagged. He's got the race cans, I laffed when I saw they are ENGRAVED "Race Use Only" , he is SO busted if he ever rides past a cranky cop! I can hear him coming a click away and it sure don't sound like no Ducati!!! The bones in your chest vibrate as it pulls up! The seating is too radical for old codger like me, I get leg cramps from the peg position, she no like 6'1" riders. I bought the 954 to 'keep him honest', too bad it's gonna take me months to learn not to be intimidated by it. Still, what's life without the Pucker Factor, ay? Rawhide  |

| Re: Aprilia Mille R Factory Just traded in my 56 Tuono and I'm really gutted. Mental machine. Loads of power, handles like any sportsbike out there and outguns them on A roads.
I pulled off at traffic lights racing an R1, I left him behind on 1 wheel and when we pulled over 3 mile down the road he couldn't beleive a tuono beat him on 1 wheel. His face was a picture.
Anyway I've now got an RSV1000R Mille in the garage. It's faster than the T, very nice but it only has a solo seat. Dealer quoted around £800 for pillion conversion which didn't impress the wife so I now have a fireblade sitting next to it in the garage and the RSV's gotta go.
I've also got a Bandit fighter which is staying and it's a bit cramped in the garage. |

| Re: Aprilia Mille R Factory Hey guys. I have a question. I'm looking at a 06 rsv 1000 factory with 4000 km's on it. The bike is in a very good condition. Is there any problems with these bikes? Is there something that i should look out for? Can any one point me in the right direction, please! |
