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.
Three and-a-half years after announcing its V-twin superbike and Aprilia's Mille still hadn't arrived.People said the 60° layout, with it's power-sapping twin balancer shafts, was the problem. They said the shafts were proving to be too heavy

By Ben Miller on 19/10/2010 14:55:29
In 1998 Aprilia launched the fast and affordable RSV Mille. Now the V-twin has handed over its flagship status to the new RSV4, so we celebrate a decade of the UK’s favourite V-twin sportsbike

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.
into the bargain, but behind the dry ice and bright lights we all knew the bike in front of us was a gentle evolution of the species and no more.For the 2003 Mille-R there will be no new geometry or frame alterations, no clever motor gizmos, no vast new gobs

First Ride: 2006 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille review
By Nob Hoyles on 09/06/2004 00:26:13
Aprilia is back on track thanks to Piaggio, with refreshed versions of their top-selling Mille
sales over the last few years, making the Mille the best selling 1000cc sports twin in the UK. And with good reason too. While the Mille has never been one of my favourite road bikes, its ability on the racetrack never fails to impress. The first session

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?

By Jon Urry on 27/04/2008 19:39:50
With a £5000 budget we delve into the second-hand market to test four of the best used bargains around.

Big V-twins
By Warren Pole on 26/03/2008 15:55:50
Aprilia Mille Factory, Ducati 999 and Honda SP-2 hurtle across Europe in search of sun, speed, a track day at Imola and a big day out at Italy's largest rock festival. Groovy!
it almost hurt. As if we needed any more excuse for a right old road trip, two of the bikes were Italian thoroughbreds in the shape of Ducati's 999 and Aprilia's Mille Factory. The Duke's looks have been a bone of contention for not matching those of its

First Ride: 2002 Aprilia Tuono Fighter
By John Cantlie on 29/03/2008 19:22:43
Aprilia launch the production version of their Tuono-R concept bike, the Tuono Fighter. With a Mille engine and chassis, near-on full superbike power and streetfighter styling, you just know this is going to be a bad boy.
