The Aprilia RST Mille Futura, launched in 2002, was a striking and sporty motorcycle that blended aggressive styling with refined performance. It was a successor to the highly acclaimed RSV Mille, but with a more touring-oriented focus. The Futura, true to its name, offered a comfortable and practical riding experience for extended journeys.
The key to its success lay in its exceptional handling and potent engine. The heart of the Futura was a 998cc, 90-degree V-twin engine, producing a respectable 129 horsepower. This engine, paired with a lightweight trellis frame and adjustable suspension, provided a thrilling ride. The Futura featured a unique "semi-fairing" design, offering wind protection without sacrificing the sporty aesthetic. It had a comfortable seating position, adjustable handlebars, and ample storage space, making it suitable for both solo rides and two-up journeys. The Futura was lauded for its precise handling, responsive throttle, and smooth engine character, making it a formidable contender in the sport-touring category.
