The 2002 Aprilia RSV Mille is a high-performance sportbike that embodies the Italian brand's dedication to both power and aesthetics. This model, launched in 2000, was a significant evolution from its predecessor, the RSV 1000, and quickly established itself as a formidable competitor in the supersport category. With its sharp, aggressive styling and powerful V-twin engine, the RSV Mille embodies the spirit of Italian sportbike design. The unmistakable silhouette features a low-slung profile, a sleek, sculpted fairing, and a distinctive underbelly exhaust system. The iconic "Mille" moniker, signifying its 1000cc displacement, reinforces the bike's powerful nature.

The heart of the RSV Mille is its 998cc, 90-degree V-twin engine, renowned for its thrilling power delivery and exhilarating exhaust note. This liquid-cooled, fuel-injected powerplant boasts a twin-spark ignition system, delivering a peak output of around 130 horsepower and 75 lb-ft of torque. The engine's power is managed through a close-ratio 6-speed gearbox, enabling rapid acceleration and effortless high-speed cruising. The RSV Mille's chassis, a lightweight aluminum twin-spar frame, is designed to provide exceptional agility and handling. Paired with high-quality suspension components from Showa, including a 43mm inverted fork and a fully adjustable monoshock, the RSV Mille delivers precise handling and comfortable ride quality. The bike is also equipped with powerful Brembo brakes, ensuring confident stopping power in all conditions.
