The Aprilia RST Mille Futura RST1000, simply known as the Mille Futura, is a sport touring motorcycle that was manufactured by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia from 1998 to 2005. The Mille Futura was a technological marvel for its time, featuring a powerful 998cc V-twin engine, a sophisticated aluminum frame, and innovative styling. This bike was designed to be a versatile machine capable of tackling long-distance journeys with comfort and speed. Its origins can be traced back to the RSV Mille, a successful superbike model, but the Futura differed with its more relaxed riding position, increased luggage capacity, and wind protection. The Mille Futura was renowned for its engaging handling, balanced performance, and impressive build quality. It was a truly remarkable machine that combined the sporty spirit of a superbike with the practicality of a touring motorcycle.

The Mille Futura's heart beat with a 998cc, 90-degree V-twin engine, delivering a potent 128 horsepower and 75 lb-ft of torque. It was equipped with a six-speed gearbox, and a perimeter frame, made entirely of aluminum, added to the bike's light weight and agility. The Mille Futura offered a comfortable riding experience thanks to its adjustable suspension and its unique "Futura" fairing. The fairing provided ample wind protection for the rider, and the seat was designed to accommodate both rider and passenger comfortably. It also boasted a number of innovative features, like a digital dashboard and an integrated luggage system. It was available in various color schemes, each with its own distinct appeal. The Mille Futura embodied the Italian flair for design and craftsmanship, creating a motorcycle that was both beautiful and functional.
