Started my 1000cc life on a 2007 RSV Tuono (140hp version of this engine). What an absolute beast it was! Brakes were really good on that, I think the bike in the video might need some servicing :D Never heard complaints about the brakes on the older Mille's either. Peach of a bike. I believe you have a primitive vacuum operated slipper-clutch in the Mille aswell, at least I had it on my gen2. It will prevent lockup at least, but not as sophisticated as modern systems.

Had a ME in yellow and an RP in silver/red. 1. The front brakes are awesome! If not, there's something wrong or you are bit picky. Rear brakes are.... well.... learn to get along without them. 2. The Mille wants you to be dominant, but then she does whatever you want. She is no Brittney Spears, she's more like P!nk: Strong with a good heart that you always need to focus on. AND: She can ROAR!😂 3. One of the flaws I had on both was: The 180 rear tyre was fine, but with a 190 tyre and a not perfectly chain tension, the chain started to rip off little pieces of the tyre's edge. I don't know if anyone had similar problems... Over all she's a beast with character.

The Mille had a hydraulic "back torque limiter" the same as the Suzuki TL models, it just worked better. Which pretty much sums up the Aprilias in comparison to the big Suzuki Vs: it turns in, brakes and holds a line better and the Rotax V60 is Japanese reliable if maintained correctly.

To make the bike start easier, upgrade the solenoid to 150 Ah, change out the wiring to larger diameter all the way from the starter back to the battery (also the negative/minus wires), replace the clutch cylinder to Oberon or something alike, make sure that all plugs used are high ampere type. Also change the regulator from shunt type (really bad original type) to a Mosfet based version. This will transform the bike, and you'll be able to start it like any other bike... 🙂

AP workshops in Tamworth, UK. Griff is the man. I think AF1 will have a lot of stuff for Aprilia in the US, but any good workshop or someone with the right crimping tools can knock up heavier gauge battery cables. You can fit a larger capacity battery than standard, which is supposed to help with cold cranking, but lowering the impedance to the starter with heftier cabling is never a bad idea as it's a chance to make sure the contacts are clean and corrosion free on bikes with a few years on them. Regulator/rectifier is in the tail and doesn't get a lot of airflow, and can be a weak point, frying the wiring.

The first version (steel fuel tank) had some high impedance wiring and water pump seals can go, but the overall quality of paint and parts is a cut above modern bikes. The plastics fit together as if the engineering team finished the mounting points after a vino heavy Italian Friday afternoon lunch, but they are good quality parts. It was Ducati that really suffered due to financial issues and a lack of knowledge regarding maintenance and servicing. The aprilia V60 has a dry sump which throws some people and leads to overfilling. Other than that, the Mille is solid if looked after correctly.

If it's anything like my Aprilia Falco SL 1000 (which is basically made from the same parts) the front brakes should feel excellent, powerful and smooth. The frontend should give you lots of confidence and you should be able to go through corners very very fast with excellent precision. You can absolutely flick it and get agressive with it. I just put Metzeler Sportec M9 RR on mine. They suprisingly feel a lot better than the M7 RR i was already quite happy with. Well, i never rode one of those new bikes. Maybe you can go even harder on them. But this bike should absolutely be able to go very hard and twisty. Also, check your cooling fluids. It should run 10° to 15° celsius colder unless you've been standing still, idling for 3 minutes.

Those front Brembo brakes should be good enough to stand the bike on its nose all day long. Your guy is needing a rebuild and new pads, possibly new discs. The rear brake isn't all that strong when expertly bled and new pads in, but it soon degrades to near useless due to the master cylinder being located on the side of the engine and overheating. It's also a nightmare to bleed. The solution is either aftermarket rearsets that mount the master cylinder vertically behind the heel guards, or making a heat shield out of some aluminium plate, preferably backed with some fibreglass to provide insulation. You'll need longer bolts as the OEM are quite short and a banjo bolt with a bleed nipple integrated will make bleeding so much easier.

Also all the parts from the SP2 are extremely difficult to find and cost like a complete Aprilia if you need many of them. On the other hand, Aprilia RSV mille Gen 2 Factory it's in the same level as SP2 with better price and much better Suspension front rear and overall. Sp2 it's better generally if you have more money, you will use it on track , and your body type it's extremely compact. The bikes doesn't drive alone , they need riders.

A rebuild with new seals and fluid should have that Brembo system competing with far more modern equipment. A forged Brembo racing master cylinder helps improve feedback and fine braking control, but power shouldn't really be an issue if the system is in good nick.

Greetings from Germany, I just come from a morning ride from my Rsv mille 2001 ( Right now i have the Mille & Bmw R1200S) The Aprilia its an extremely good road bike for real road performance use (B roads or straight highways.) The power its enough and more just to do everything. Also great for track use as hobby. The rotax V990 its really a beast everywhere, torque everywhere & Delivered smooth and this allows for more control, not a scary rpm area like all the inline fours of the time. In my possession during the years 2007-2009 i was had a Gixxer 750 k6, never again mates , poor performance for road use from the Gixxer (Maybe on the track has some value.) But the ergonomics for a Supersport, the power delivery, the overall feeling dosent come close to the Aprilia rsv mille for road use. What you can expect from an old Aprilia rsv mille ? - Its very reliable but not as a Japanese, its not for every day bad use, avoid the city and the traffic, prefers open & b roads as machine. - Ergonomics are perfect for a Supersport motorcycle V2 , if you have an Extra weight and you are a little taller you can't find a better choice for a v2 Supersport, it's roomy enough. - Fuel economy, forget about it , burns a lot. - Looks , the tail lights are like speceship, the front lights were the first design with three lamps in this row, frame its a piece of art Polish beast , looks very muscle Supersport but if you put out the fairings its small (i would like to say American design with Italian details, Ducatis are definitely Italian design.) - Character full, its something different 100%. Dont get it wrong, it's not better than other bikes , but it's really unique & after all this years its still shocking on eyes and in feeling. Really good machine in very low price.

Great information, thanks! Just curious, how much does it burn fuel? Let's say cruising.

I thought I was going a bit mad as I use about half a tank on a long ish run,, nothing mad,, and that with a slight airbox mod and chip in the fuel injection, it has a racy yoshima pipe on it,, I took the baffle out and boy it moves now .

That's classic Italian-American (hyphenated) logic: "My old man and I was talking about how we should get a reliable commuter bike, so we got a 21 year old Italian supersport... cuz dat totally makes sense.

A had two of these bikes (2001 R and a normal 2002). If the rear is to lose, then it maybe needs a service or a propper setting. It is the bike witch gave me the most fun on the road. I changed the mastercilinder of the front brake and that helps allot to improve the braking. Both my Aprilia RSV has been bullet proof. I sold the last one with 60000 KM (37500 miles) and it never mist a beat. After this a had a Suzuki GSXR1000 2005, 2006 and a Honda Fireblade 2007. Now I drive a GSXR 750 hoping to find a little joy back in riding but it`s lacking torque. Now I`m thinking of buying a Ducati Panigale V2 and hope that is a bit the same as a Aprilia RSV Mille. You drove the both, so maybe you can tell me 😊 Keep up the nice videos and greetings from the Netherlands

I was had a Gixxer K6 , it's extremely bad compared to mille for road use. Mille it's really good machine for road use.

Owned a 2001 Aprilia RSV mille R. It’s a war pig of a bike with the rotax V990 engine.

There is an 01' available nearby for $3100. I may have to pick it up. Highly rated seller too. My only reservation is that it's a large bike (demension wise) and I am only 5'9.
