APRILIA RSV-R MILLE (RSVR) ... EXCELLENT CONDITION ITALIAN SUPERBIKE.

***PROVISIONALLY SOLD - AWAITING DEPOSIT ***APRILIA RSV MILLE R - 2003 model. This is the full fat 'R' version with the extra power. Brembo brakes. all round Ohlins. and Light weight OZ Racing wheels. This bike is one of the best V-Twins you could own. The power is electrifying. The sound of it is enough to stick your hair on end. Bike itself - as you will see - is in fantastic condition. The new owner will be very. very happy (Probably with a silly grin after every ride). Recent oil & filter change with top quality Rockoil. coolant and spark plugs. M. O. T. is May 2015 with no advisories. Previous M. O. T. was also clear with no advisories. Not been dropped. crashed or tracked. I've got both Original keys and a heap of service / parts history. inc old MOT's to back up mileage all in a nice folder. It does have some tiny scuff marks where your boot sometimes touches the guard / swingarm. but for a bike this age. there's very little thats even noticeable. The bike has the following :Fairing Crash BungsFork and swing arm sliders. Smoked Headlight CoverSmoke D. B. Screen (Original supplied as well)Short CNC adjustable levers (Original supplied as well)Rear seat hump (Pillion seat included)Pipe Werx Exhaust with baffle (Original supplied as well)Exhaust hanger (Original & pillion footpegs included)K&N filtersPower Commander 3 USB (Set up for bike)DNA security marked. (Other security of a powerful Air rifle and two large slavering dogs not included in sale)Heated Grips (Hidden controller - Looks like original setup) . You can arrive before everyone else with secret warm hands !!OHLINS front & rear suspension setup and tuned by 'Alpha Suspension' for fast road (Not the rock hard back breaking track settings some people use). Top of the range OZ Racing wheels with nearly new tyres all round. Upgraded Starter Solenoid. Cherished plate included (R13 RSV)Tail tidy. Original owners manual. I'm not going to B. S. you . I'm selling up because I'm 6'5" tall and getting on a bit. Squeezing myself on to an Italian thoroughbred is no longer fun - Things are starting to ache ! . Or in the eloquent words of she-who-must-be-obeyed "Isn't it time you grew up ?".  While this bike is the best bike by far I've ever owned. I need a physiotherapy session after every ride.  This is an absolute scalpel of a bike and I'm just too old. tall and knackered to enjoy it properly.  The bike is very well sorted and rides like an absolute dream. The power is everywhere regardless of gear. I wont say its never been out in the rain because unfortunately British weather isn't that kind. However. there is no sign of rust anywhere. The bike has had an ACF-50 treatment at the beginning of 2014. Best part about the ownership - Classic Insurance !! . As its over 10 years old. Carole Nash offer it on Classic Insurance. ??102 a year fully comp !! . Not bad for a bike that even now will leave modern stuff in the mirrors. So to recap: Its a clean. tidy. well cared for bike that does exactly what it should. No known faults and it starts. stops and goes exactly as Aprilia intended. However. this really isn't a bike for inexperienced riders. It can get you into serious trouble and licence losing speeds very quickly indeed. If you need any further information. please feel free to drop me a line. I'm sure to have forgotten something. (Being so senile) so will update the auction as and when. Now for the boring parts. but please read carefully to avoid confusion or insults:The price is set so I won't haggle. Its a steal for this bike and I know what they are worth - Hopefully if you are seriously after one you will too. It's priced below other RSV-R's in far worse condition. and well below dealer prices. If you do turn up just to haggle. nbsp;please don't be offended when I ask you to leave. and like Mr. Burns set the hounds on you. The V5 is in my name and the bike can be seen at that address.  V5 will be posted by myself with the new owner obliged to fill out their full details. The milage may go up slightly if the sun comes out. The Tax cannot be carried over (As per DLVA requirements). However. the new keeper can use my internet to tax / insure it there and then if they wish. (DVLA takes up to 5 days to cancel the tax . Nudge. nudge). Coffee / witty banter will be provided Free. I have this bike advertised elsewhere. so I retain the right to remove the auction without prior notice. I also retain the right to ignore serial non-payers or people with high negative feedback. Absolutely NO test rides without Proof of insurance. Photo I. D. . full cash price in hand and you to sign a 'Bin-it-buy-it' contract. I would be willing to put on the pillion pegs and seat and take you on the back for a spin if you prefer. I absolutely WILL NOT ship abroad or enter into any negotiations with the King of Nigeria. I can spot a scammer from a mile away - I'm not stupid so don't try. I'm not interested in any kind of P/X. Scammers. non payers and agencies will be reported to eBay. I'm a mature and genuine seller with a 100% positive record. so please feel confident you're not going to be turned over or taken for a mug. Payment is preferred Cash on Collection. but I will accept a BACS payment on the proviso that you will be willing to wait the 5 working days for the payment to fully clear. or the faster CHAPS transfer which costs about ??20. meaning waiting only 1 working day before collecting bike. As soon as the payment process is started. I will not use the bike again.  I wont accept personal cheques or any other form of money order / transfer. If you are a serious buyer. I will hold onto the bike and remove the advert on a non-refundable ??100 PayPal payment. Couple of questions I've been asked:The PC3 is running a map programmed for smooth throttle response & linear power delivery not full on power. The full power map was a bit too brutal for road riding I found. I'm am not a bike dealer. I owned 5 bikes and I've whittled them down to just 2. This is totally a private sale.
