APRILIA RSV Mille (1999-2000) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia RSV Mille was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia between 1998 and 2003. It was updated in 2001, 2002, and 2003 and was offered in three versions: the RSV Mille, RSV Mille R, and RSV Mille SP.

In 1999, the Italian bike maker launched the Aprilia RSV Mille, a sports motorcycle in its second year of production, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model without any modifications.

The bike was manufactured around an aluminum frame with an upside-down telescopic Showa fork on the front and an adjustable Sachs monoshock on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.

Braking-wise, the bike's 17-inch wheels were fitted with two 320 mm brake discs on the front and a 220 mm brake disc on the rear. The front two were paired with four-piston calipers, and the rear one was paired with a dual-piston caliper.

In the aesthetic department, the bike had standard features, such as a full fairing with a single headlight unit, a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a two-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and five-spoke wheels.

As for the power figures, the 1999 Aprilia RSV Mille took its muscles from a 998cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering 130 hp at 9,500 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.
