MODEL SUMMARY.
A rare opportunity to acquire a 2 owner, very low mileage, 2004 04 registered Aprilia RSV1000 Mille R. The very last of the fabled Gen 1 Milles in ultimate guise, other than for the very rare and very expensive SP…
In Aprilia Giallo Brio (Yellow Pearl) with Gold Forged OZ wheels, this bike is direct to us from it’s second owner. Prior to him, the bike’s first owner had retained possession for 20 years
Genuinely a very rare machine to be found, even more so with such low mileage and ownership provenance, as is the case here
Not in any way to be confused with the later RSV1000 R, often misnamed and misidentified as a ‘Mille’ or indeed the more plentiful (although still scarce) earlier model years Mille R
These Milles are a bike of much character, the 60 degree V-Twin motor produces 130bhp and a grunty 75 lb/ft of torque, and of course offers the kind of soundtrack only bikes such as this can
This is a 2003 final model year ‘R’ late registered in 2004, and the final incarnation of it’s type. Significantly, the 2003 R bikes offered radially mounted brake calipers for the first time, in the guise of Brembo Gold type, alongside a new close ratio gearbox with revised ratios to gears 1 through to 3
This final year incarnation also had a new fork design, new front wheel design, matte black painted frame, new tail design and new front fender design….
Vs the standard bike, they had the very best componentry and parts, with 43mm USD Ohlins forks, Ohlins rear shock unit, Ohlins steering damper, lightweight forged OZ wheels finished in Gold a lighter rear subframe, Aprilia race cowl (with pillion seat) carbon fibre front and rear huggers, instrument panel cover and fairing louvres
The mechanical specification included the wonderful, musical, liquid Cooled 60 deg ‘Bicilindrico’ V-Twin 8v motor of 998cc capacity, aluminium alloy box section twin spar chassis, aluminium alloy ‘double banana’ swingarm, the afforementioned radially mounted ‘Gold’ Brembo calipers, 320mm diameter floating discs, 51mm diameter throttle bodies, twin spark ignition and a lightweight titanium exhaust with twin outlets
As to be expected this particular bike is in exceptional condition. Aesthetically it is completely stock, standard and original, just as it left the Aprilia showroom all those years ago other than for the side louvres now finished in gold (original silver ones provided)
We have the original maintenance book, original bill of sale, some service bills/invoices and old MOTs. It has just had a Shell Advance Ultra 15w 50 fully synthetic oil service and is MOTd until June 2026. Clear HPI report. All documents/keys present
The bike is provided with it’s original Aprilia Racing exhaust and ECU chip, and also an Aprilia Titanium (Ti) Evo Race Exhaust with accompanying AP Racing FR100 ECU chip. These exhausts are now extremely rare and very sought after, and in this case has spent minimal time on the bike
A pillion seat, pegs and grab handle are also provided
As we have said in other adverts of ours, we place enormous importance on ownership, mileage, and originality provenance. It is those things that define the truly excellent examples, and which will ensure a car or bike will always be sought after with ever increasing rarity. This bike will clearly appeal to a buyer whom not only understands those things, but demands them, and with that in mind this bike will surely not disappoint
Truly a little piece of Italian exotica, but entirely useable and a sure-fire future classic and collectable
