I just bought a RSV mille RP from 2003. I'll pick it up next saturday. Can't wait to celebrate my midlife crisis. Had a RS125 Extrema with 33 hp abd a RS250 with slightly over 70 hp. Always felt winning the motogp everytime I was riding that bikes.... I'm an aprilia fan boy. Man, that stuff never gets boaring! All the best from Germany! Felix

Damn the timing on this one lads! Just got myself my first RSV Mille 2 weeks ago, already put down 200 miles on it, it's just a magical bike to ride at any speed. I've found that the immense low down grunt makes you tend to short shift often because it seems logical that the power tops out higher up, but the mid/top end power is truly a surge that deserves to be explored. You start off thinking "yea this is proper fast for an older bike" then you get past the 8k rpm and it just goes like you kicked it down a gear. There is simply so much character to these older twin bikes, and most surprising of all is how bloody easy the Mille actually is to ride, and how confidence inspiring it is. And comfortable too! You are bent over properly, but no bodypart is being squashed, you just mold into a part of the bike, rather than feeling like you're squeezed into a shape you don't naturally fit. It's bloody perfect. Also gotta say, in the full red livery with dark belly pannel, the bike's looks shine much brighter than the black fuzzy variant like the one you are riding. It's imo a beautiful bike, which in the right color/livery combination is stunning to look at. And the fact that they're darn cheap and mechanically bulletproof while still oozing Italian character, it's a true gem in the modern classic bike world.

On the wavy disk, it shudders because the slots are matching on each side. Take one disk off and rotate it one mounting hole position and that will take care of the pulsing.

@smoke05s 2 жыл бұрын

@@Gobbbbb The slots can be lined up exactly on each side, or they can be staggered based on how they are bolted to the wheel. In the beginning of this video they show the discs are in sync on the Aprillia. So the pads hit the slots at the same time and that's what causes the pulsing (you get less stopping power when the pad is on the slot than when it is on the solid portion of the disc). If you take the bolts off one disc and rotate it forward one position the slots will no longer line up. It may still be pulsing but it is double the rate and not as strong so it makes it imperceptible. It works on every bike I have tried it on.

I've ridden quite a few different bikes from all ages and types and nothing compares to my SP-1. She's an absolute doll and the most character I've ever experienced in a motorcycle. Coming from a 97 fireblade, the cornering really felt like she was on rails. Not as flickable, true, but you pick a line and she does the work for you. I never thought I'd be this struck by anthropomorphism with a machine in my life but I genuinely have a strong bond with her and I'll ride till she rides no more. //EDIT: I rode over 700km to Denmark on the SP-1 in one sitting (with breaks obviously) and I had no comfort issues whatsoever. The damn bag on the tank did prevent me from opening up completely on the autobahn sadly. I hope to pack lighter next year. Fun little fact: I get quite a few looks (as a tiny woman on a big red thumping monster, does), but it is, thusfar, a rare occasion when someone actually walked up to me to appreciate the bike for what it is, and they were almost always older gentlemen who had either owned one in their time or were avid watchers of the super bike series in those times. When they know, they know.

Tell me about it. Can not fling it down fast enough here in central Scotland. One of the many reasons i rarely venture out now. The best roads are horrendously busy with tourist traffic too. I think it would be a safety factor also, more grippy winter time. But surely the rougher a surface the quicker it breaks up.
