After Dude put the idea in my head of getting an Aprilia RSV-R Millie, i started to get some insurance quotes and to my supprise found it cheaper to insure one of these than a 600 ninja.

 

I have been to look at this 2003 model tonight on my way home from Ireland, and will be going back tomorrow with a deposit. It has full Ohlins suspension, Ohlins steering damper, Brembo brakes, lightweight OZ wheels, and lots of carbon :)

 

I pick it up next saturday and i can't wait, i will take some better pictures then.

If its an import make sure the wire to the ecu has been cut that deristricts it!!!!!. Also get on RSVR.net and read up on them, you may want to do the clutch cyl mod and get yourself a carbon airbox with the K&N filter, 2 teeth up on the rear sprocket and she will keep up with a GSXR 1000 down the back straight at Snetterton, then you can just pop out and outbrake him and nip round him with your superior handling.

Thanks, it is not an import as far as i am aware the guy has owned it from new and got it from the Aprilia centre in manchester. I will check to see if it has been cut though when i get it.

 

I joined RSV zone the other night and have already seen the carbon air box ;) they are supposed to sound amazing with them on.

 

I am going to put a new chain and sproket on it before i go to france, which ones would you suggest? i know it has had the front sprocket changed to make it accelerate faster.

 

Thanks Jon
