The Aprilia RST Mille, produced from 2000 to 2005, is a sportbike that marked a significant moment in Aprilia's history. It was the first production motorcycle to feature a 1000cc V-twin engine, setting the stage for the company's subsequent dominance in the large-displacement sportbike market. Drawing on Aprilia’s extensive racing experience, the RST Mille was designed to be a true performance machine, boasting a powerful engine, lightweight chassis, and advanced suspension. Its sleek, aggressive styling, inspired by the RSV Mille, further emphasized its sporty nature. Initially, the RST Mille was available in two versions: the standard RST Mille and the more powerful RST Mille R. The R model featured upgraded components, including Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, and a lighter exhaust system, putting it among the top performers in its class. The RST Mille's engine was a 998cc, 90-degree V-twin, capable of producing over 130 horsepower. The engine featured a unique "inverted" configuration, with the cylinders oriented downwards, which contributed to its low center of gravity and enhanced handling. The RST Mille also benefited from a lightweight aluminum frame and swingarm, further contributing to its agility and responsiveness. The bike's performance was further enhanced by its advanced suspension system, which used a fully-adjustable 43mm inverted fork at the front and a fully-adjustable monoshock at the rear. The RST Mille's powerful engine, lightweight chassis, and sophisticated suspension made it a true performance machine, capable of thrilling riders on the road and on the track. This motorcycle became a symbol of Aprilia's commitment to innovation and performance, cementing its position as a leading force in the sportbike segment.
