About the Aprilia RSV Mille R

Aprilia created the RSV Mille R in 2000 as a more aggressive track version of the already capable RSV Mille.

Changes compared to the 2000 base model RSV Mille include a 5kg saving in weight, fully adjustable Ohlins suspension and a single seat (on a shorter subframe) and 25% lighter forged Aluminium wheels, carbon panels, LCD speedo, shift light, clock, temp gauge and highest top/average speed this session switch. 

Timeline:

The 2003 RSV Mille R included a more aerodynamic mudguard and tail end re-design, which made it easier to get your leg over the rear. There was also a Colin Edwards Replica consisting of 460 units, basically with higher pressure intake and adjusted throttle
