aprillia rsvr mille,what a underrated bike,ive owned a sp1,916,748 and a rsv mille and for all round handling,grunt and speed the mille wins hands down and is also a lot lighter and cheaper than a sp2. for the same money you can get a rsv R that comes with ohlins suspension,oz wheels,brembo brakes all as stock and probably some akrapovic cans. definetly worth considering
My friend was looking at buying a mille recently, i couldnt believe some of the prices he was looking at for a bike with ohlins and all sorts of tricks bits, insanely cheap.
i dont have a drinking problem.......if anything, i'm [i]too[/i] good at it

the last part I ordered had never been ordered to that shop before (motosport Aprilia in Wareham) and it was in within 5 days :wink:

It took 2 months for basic engine parts for my mates SXV550 to arrive .....

I'd be interested to ride an older tuono, becuase the one I rode at the Aprilia test day was very disappointing :( the engine felt flat at the bottom, the riding position quite peculiar with the footpegs very high and forward, and the handling felt very "tippy" at the front :?

I'm waiting for the 1200 Dorsoduro ...... the 750 was a blast, so a 130bhp 1200 should be a stonker :twisted:
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

You just loved the wheelies and the chance to be (even more of) a hooligan! :D :lol:
