By Bertie Simmonds on 12/12/2002 11:48:54
Did Bertie get on with the RSV Mille R, read on for his longterm verdict...
June 2002On your right is the Aprilia RSV Mille R. Bertie Simmonds not pictured. And why wasn't I? Well, I just couldn't do it...Sticking my ugly mug in the picture alongside such a thing of great beauty would have been tantamount to Bernard Manning

The Mille Family - RSV & Tuono track test
By Jon Urry on 16/09/2010 16:50:29
With more inbreeding than a small Welsh village Aprilia's Mille engine comes in many guises. We took five of the best to Donington Park to put 'em through their paces
place was something of a minor miracle to start with. Mille Rs aren't exactly two-a-penny, the Tuono is selling out faster than Aprilia can get them into the shops, only 45 Edwards reps will make it to the UK, when we did the test only one Tuono Racing

First Ride: 2002-03 Aprilia RSV-R Mille
By Warren Pole on 29/03/2008 19:29:06
What on earth could Aprilia do to improve their already-ace Mille-R? Not an enormous amount as I discovered at the launch of the 2003 bike in Italy.
. In a nutshell, if a bike didn't have a well-sorted front end and didn't change direction impeccably, it would soon be shown up, and most likely in a gravel trap.Click to continue the Aprilia RSV-R Mille review

Italian Exotica - Aprilia RSV-R Mille, Benelli Tornado & Ducati 999
By Jon Urry on 08/12/2003 15:14:26
When it comes to style few can match the Italians. But is Ducati's 999, Benelli's Tornado and Aprilia's RSV-R's beauty only skin deep?
does have the habit of drawing a crowd on his own, usually from people he has scrounged a drink from in the past then cleared off when it was his turn at the bar. But when you pull up on a Ducati 999, Benelli Tornado and Aprilia RSV-R you instantly draw

Used Review: Aprilia RSV Mille & Mille R
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 13:50:45
With looks and performance akin to a kick in the pods, Aprilia's Mille proved that not every Italian sportsbike had to be a blood-red, 90¡ V-twin from Bologna.
with the first Mille.It had a weird three headlight face, a huge dustbin silencer and sometimes bizarre colour schemes. It grew on us, sure, and the later SP and RSV-R models built upon the look and added to the spec list, but it never had the visual pizzazz

First Ride: 2006 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille
By RobHoyles on 09/06/2004 00:26:13
Aprilia is back on track thanks to Piaggio, with refreshed versions of their top-selling Mille
Since its introduction in 1998, the Mille has always been a good track bike, overshadowed perhaps by the success of Ducati in competitive racing but, to their credit has consistently remained one step ahead of the Bolognese firm in terms of outright
