2000 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille R

Selling the best sport bike I've ever owned.
This 2000 Aprilia RSV Mille R was the first unit that arrived at Pro Italia in 2000, nd in my opinion is the finest design of the big displacement Aprilia four strokes ever made. Clean lines, arrow GP style body, ery comfortable riding position, legant round blinkers and bullet ferrari style tail lights, ith no nonsense graphics and very tidy engineering of every last part. The rotax motor core and Aprilia heads make the most solid and torque-oriented motor I have ever enjoyed in a sport bike. The handling is perfectly balanced and the bike changes direction with incredible ease.
These R (racing spec) bikes were not profitable for Aprilia even with a $17,000 price tag because of the full Ohlins suspension front and rear, Z forged wheels and other upgrades that came with the limited edition bike.
I also had the bike modified to enable two-passenger use, o the rear subframe was changed to the pillion type, nd the easy to bolt on passenger peg mounts were procured and come with the bike, s do any parts that I upgraded, hich include MOTO TECH fully adjustable rear-sets, atching forged adjustable brake and clutch levers, s well as the racing exhaust slip-on and high ZeroG windscreen.
There isn't a more comfortable and better handling sport bike out there, ven 15 years later.
The bike was just fully serviced at Pro Italia where it received new injectors (just tired from non-use). Rubber is also quite fresh Pirelli Corsas with just one ride on them. I have always considered I would keep this bike forever, ut I have so many now that I am not using it at all. It has enjoyed the last many years in the garage parked in between a Ducati Paul Smart and a 1973 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport.
