Aprilia RSV Mille 1000, Year 2001, Red, PX/swap - enduro/supermoto?

Welcome to my auction for my rare year 2001 Red Aprilia RSV Mille 1000. As I'm sure you'll agree its a real head turner. Currently has just under 6 months MOT. and is taxed but as you probably know this no longer matters due to the new tax laws. The bike has just over 12800 miles on the clock. this will increase slightly as I ride to work on it some days. For a bike of this year thats very low mileage. working out at just over 850 miles per year! and it shows. I have owned the bike since July last year when I bought it from a garage. I bought it from pictures and a quick conversation alone as there were people queueing up to buy it. The bike has never missed a beat. mechanically it is perfect. when I got it I bled and replaced the fluid in both brake systems and also the clutch just for my own piece of mind.   I have recently replaced the battery as the temperature went down. the old one was fine but I didn't want the worry of it letting me down one morning as I didn't know how old the current battery was. The bike has a MIVV race exhaust installed which sounds awesome and definitely helps the power and torque delivery. and wait till you take the baffle out! This turns into even more of a mean machine!I have the original exhaust too and also a Mille R exhaust which came with it. The bike has a lot of extra bits which make this rare bike stick out even better. chrome chain cover. chrome exhaust hanger. carbon fibre rear hugger. chrome radiator covers. rear seat cowel (original seat also included). chrome heel protectors. crash bobbins installed (never crashed though!). tail tidy. smaller number plate (MOT approved number plate included). wheel rim tape and brake reservoir cover. braided brake lines and probably more that I can't remember (please see pics or can supply more if required). The bike has standard Brembo brakes front and rear with braided hoses installed. these work well!the bike has a lot of power and holds the road exceptionally well. the low down torque available from the 60degree V Twin engine is really usable giving you power from the bottom to the top of the rev range. unlike your R1/CBR 1000 inline fours that you've gotta get above 8000 before they grown at you. this one wakes up growling. A lot of fun in a manageable bike. I haven't played with the suspension as I wouldn't want to upset what is a great standard setup. but it is all fully adjustable if you want to play with it but as it is it really holds the road well. The only thing that I can say would upgrade this bike anymore would be a double bubble screen. and if I were to keep it I would invest in one. The bike has Datatag security. with all the paperwork to support. I have all the old MOT's with the only advisories on any of them being rear tyre (pretty standard)I have 2 x Keys for the bike and service history too. The only reason I am selling is I want a Supermoto/Enduro bike to try something different. So I will not consider a PX or swap for a Supermoto/Enduro bike ;-) wink wink. KTM EXC/690/640? Husqvarna? don't try me. I am also not open to offers. If you do have any questions please don't hesitate to ask and I'll answer it as swiftly as possible. I can send more pictures if required. Collection preferred but could drop off if not to far. Collection from Stowmarket in Suffolk. IP14Viewing welcome. Test ride available when you place the full asking price in my hand. Break it. you buy it etc. Email me on here or Text/Phone on 07779638135 (Si)Happy bidding. any thing I forget I will add immediately.
